Hexie Friday Already?!

Here for the Grow Your Blog party and Giveaway? Please go here.   Welcome!

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.

Very little progress in applique this last week - such a busy week. Sunday, I took 4 ladies to the Road to California Show in nearby Ontario - that was fun but tiring (photos to follow).  Then I had both boys on Monday. William and I spent the whole day working on his science project.  He had it done - we just had to do the presentation board.  Then picked up Alan from Day Care - both have runny noses and genearl malaise. Last night, I just vegetated after they left at 7 pm.  Sooo  here's the bit I did on my Benjamin Biggs before they arrived at 7: 30 AM to stay with me again. 

 Seam allowance needs to be turned up onto fusible stabilizer.

About 1/8th done.

 Pretty much all Will did today other than some TV and computer and the card games.

Alan showing off his play dough work . 

William was coughing, had a headache - I won't be surprised if he has a touch of the flu despite getting the shot this year.  To keep Alan busy, we spent the morning making Applesauce Oatmeal cookies.  He loves to help.  After his nap, he wanted to play with play dough so I have a little time to post because while he napped I taught Will how to play rummy.

Hope you were more successful. Leave me a comment and tell my how you did.  I'll go on over to your post and check out your eye candy.  Bye for now!

Start of Week 4, 2014

Let me start with my stash report.  I used a 1/4 yard to finish up a charity quilt top.  Here it is coming off my design wall:

Measures about 40" square and is a Disappearing Nine-Patch made with 7 1/2" squares.  A little bigger than most of our 36" St. Anne's quilts, but I don't think the Moms will mind.  These go together quickly.  So all that's left on my design wall is my applique and a rag quilt I'm just starting.  More about LE Tuesday.

Here are my numbers:

Out this week:    0.25 yards;   YTD:       4.70 yards

Donated:          11.00 yards;     YTD:   11.00 yards

In this week:       0.00 yards;     YTD:     0.00 yards

Total YTD USED                                   15.70 yards
