Bloomin' hexies!




You can see that I  have finished two of the hexie flowers that I'm making from the jelly roll fabrics I got.  My 'idea' (subject to change of course, because after all I am woman and am allowed to change my mind!) is to finish as many of these flowers as I can get from the 2 jelly rolls and then scatter them onto a king-sized sheet rather willy nilly and then applique them in place.   Not sure how that might look, but will see what happens when I get to that point.  

I won't show you the landscape progress today because quite honestly it doesn't look a whole lot different despite the fact that I've spent another entire afternoon adding more embroidered flowers.  Yawn.  

Today's quote is from Martin Luther King Jr...."In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends"

    1. I'm having fun with them anyway and what they will actually end up becoming is a mystery - because I'm bound to change my mind!

    1. That apron could serve so many more purposes than just gardening I think.

    1. Yes, there does seem to be a lot of hexies around at the moment or maybe it's because I'm noticing more now that I'm working with them. Either way, they're fun!

  5. Enjoyed the virtual tour. Lovely time to be working on a hexagon garden. Like a real garden, I'm sure your hexies are ever changing.

    1. Glad you liked the virtual tour - so did I. Yes, every hexie will be different I think (unless I mess up somewhere!).

    1. I'm enjoying the hexies - at least for now. Don't know how long it will be until I have a 'squirrel!' moment and be off onto something else.

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
