Design Wall Monday 6/9/14

First, a quick stash report:  Donated 3 yards to guild; a fat quarter's worth for the blocks I've been working on - applique doesn't use much, and a half yard for my Soupçon QAL and Happy Scrappy Orphan Block BOM project.  Totals on sidebar on right.

 On my design wall is this paper pieced part of a border.  These take a while and I have eleven to go.  They will make up the last segment of Part 6 for Soupçon.

I was able to add one side to the Orphan block border. This is easy, but I need to work on some charity tops for Thursday, so have had to set it aside for now, but the month is young.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times, and Lyn's BOMs Away.  Go take a look.

Hexie Weekend and Winners

Hello, time to show my hexies:

3 done so only 46 to go - LOL.  The papers still need to be removed - that's why they seem a bit off color in the photo.  No focus flower in this one.  Took me about an hour to do.  I hope I get faster at this.

I also started a new EPP.  Elizabeth over at Occasional Piece has started a new project, and it's a beauty!.  It is using EPP to make circles.  I was intrigued and so thought I'd give it a shot.  Her first one is lovely. She's going to make 12 blocks.  I'll be happy with one to make as a pillow.  I'm 1/6th of the way done with my circle:

I'm using freezer paper for my templates and gluing them instead of basting.  So far, so good doing them by hand- best seam allowances ever for me.  Can I get a whoop, whoop for a new technique?

And, the winners from last week's giveaways are:

For the paper pieces, according to Random.org, Kathy in the Ozarks!
The winner of the 100 Block issue is Susan @ CQ4fun.  Welcome winners!  Send me a snail mail and I'll send your winning along in the coming week.

Okay, I've shown you my hexies, show me your's! Linky below.  Remember it can be a finished project, a new project or one you are thinking of doing. End's Monday, midnight.
