Hexie Weekend

Company is gone now, but it's taken me some time to get back to normal, do laundry and store things. I was actually able to do a bit of hexies for this post. But the wonderful thing I read this week was Sue Garman's continuing post of the Quilt Festival in Houston. She photographed this gorgeous quilt by quiltmaker Anna Maria Schipper Vermeiren. It is called British Garden. Look very closely and you'll see hexagons.

You can see the full post here .  Do go to her post and see the closeups of this incredible quilt! You will be amazed. And watch this video below of another of Anna Maria's fabulous quilts:

 Before the company arrived I was quilting the commission quilt whenever I could fit in a few minutes.  I quickly found I had to find a way to mark the path so I wouldn't get lost in what direction I needed to go.  I came up with masking tape to lead me across the quilt as it isn't a straight path for this quilt.
 Here is part of that path quilted.  Just have about a fourth to do by the 13th.
I'm linking to Amanda's Finish it up Friday and Sarah Jean's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?  as I got to finish 2 hexie flowers.

Let us see what you are up to - hexie or not, new post or old - we love all eye candy. Linky below - closes Monday, midnight.


 Blessings!

Applique Tuesday

Still no quilting, applique, or hexagons - enjoying our NJ company.  So here are a few more of those mug rugs that I enjoyed seeing at the last Guild meeting.




I'm linking to Esther's WOW and Connie's  Linky Tuesday Party.  Happy 2nd Day of December!

No Quilting Here, No Design Wall

It was our 46th anniversary today and we welcomed to our home Frank's sister and brother-in-law in the area after a Panama Canal Cruise. So we had another houseful of family - 14 in all.  Keeping the kids in mind, we had a take-out Thai supper and ice cream for dessert - no pies or cakes so close after Thanksgiving - LOL.  I'll save that for later in the month.  Hope you had a great weekend.  For quilty news and eye candy, check out Judy's Patchwork Times , Lyn's BOMs Away . They always have spectacular links.

Progrees is Made

Progress is made, at least some.  More blocks were added to the baby quilt I was working on (see previous post). More scraps were used. I...
