Design Wall Monday 5/27/13

The secret quilt is still on my design wall and will be there as the boys are over and of course quilting and everything else comes to a halt when they are here. Not that I would miss these visits for the world. We'll be taking a few moments to visit our nearby cemetery to place a flag or two.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times for eye candy. What's on your design wall?

Stash Report 5/26/13

Pulled a 5 yard piece from my stash for a secret project I'm making. Can't show you yet, but here's the Northcott fabric I'll be using:

Also used 1/4 yd in making two swap blocks and bits and pieces for my hexie project for a total of 5.25 yards of destashing. Nice!  Here are my numbers:

in 0.0 yds.; out  5.25 yds.

Stash YTD: in 6.5 yds., out 57.97 yds.

Donated YTD: 26.58 yds

Net for 2013: out 51.47yds

 

Woo Hoo! over 50 yards and it's not even the end of the first half of the year.  Yes!

 

I'm linking over to Judy's Patchwork Times for other de-stashing stories.  See you there!



It's Hexie Friday!

Not much sewing this week, but did get some hexies done while Alan slept.  That's the beauty of hand piecing hexies  - you can just take them with you and prep and sew in little segments of time.
I'm hoping to make my first sample block for the quilt I have in mind once this third hexie is completed.  Thank you to all who linked up and showed us your hexie project (past, present and future).  They were great!

 Have you been working on a hexie project?  Have an old one or future one you can share?  We'd love to see it.  You can see Billie's progress at her blog. So far these Friday's  eye candy have been inspiring us to move along on our hexie hand piecing projects.  Here's the linky button:
