  2. Hi MA, You're crazy quilt block is stunning. I'm amazed at all of the stitches you have! I really appreciated the links, especially the plastic hexies. I'm not really a quilter but I've always wondered how to go about using those templates. I put up my embroidery samples with a link to your blog. Thanks for all of your help.

  3. Your blog header is stunning, such a lovely way to commemorate family.
    And your blocks look a treat!

    Those hexi templates are expensive! Clever idea if you make the hexis up as you go of course, so you need just afew at any one time.
    But think I prefer the papers and the ability to have them made in multiples until your ready to gets tuck and piece them. I quite like the flexibility too with paper though I can see some may prefer to have a firmer fabric to work with.

  7. Block 3 is gorgeous and your colors are just right for the image. Love the heart from Trish Burr. Her embroidery is amazing. The hexie link is interesting however I have managed to steer clear of making any hexies. Jackson Brown's quote is something I do most days. Happy weekend dear...<3
