Applique Tuesday

I've been working on Part 3 of Soupçon.  Here's as far as I've gotten:

The hardest part is selecting the fabric to use. Karen has some fabulous ideas in this Hexagon Quilt Along and I'm learning a lot. Will have to look for the next fabric for the background - some of the blue will be cut off.

And some progress (not much, but some) on my Love Entwined, I'm happy to report.

Those 1/8th inch bias stems are a bit time consuming, and I have a few more to do before I can start to assemble flowers. Luckily, I bought Pearl Peiera's DVD that shows me how to do it.  Pretty nifty trick and lots of other tips.

That's it for my applique report for Tuesday.  How are you doing on your projects? Leave me a comment and I'll come see yours and do the same - leave you a comment that is.  I'm linking to Connie's Linky Tuesday, Esther's WoW, and Lorna's Let's Bee Social.  Go on by and say hello.

Hexie Friday Already?!

Gosh, this week flew by!  Quilty wise not much was accomplished, but a lot of things were happening.  Here's my finished Soupcon hexie flower.  I decided instead of embroidery to do broderie perse as the fabric I have has a lot of great motifs.  And if I embroidered it, I wouldn't be done for a while.  I may put a berry over the flat edges in midnight blue. Not sure yet.  I'll wait until we're further along in this QAL. My other finish for the week is here.

At that show we went to on Sunday (Road to California), I saw some spectacular quilts and of course some had hexagons.  Here's one:

Title is This is not my Grandmother's Garden.

How are you doing on your eye candy?  We would love to see it - hexie or not, finished, in process or dreaming of.  Linky below.  Closes Monday, 11 PM.
