My half hexie EPP project has been languishing while I knit and sew on bindings, and do other handwork. It seems that I last posted about this project in July of 2017. I can’t believe I haven’t worked on it since then. I have been looking for the diamond papers I know I have that … Continue reading “Half Hexie Progress”
I have been working on the half hexie stars a tiny amount. They take a long time, as I have said. I finally was able to cut some more backgrounds, so I have been focusing on making background stars. I’ll have to see when I can add more stars to the larger piece. Making the … Continue reading “A Few More Hexie Stars”
Gerre talked a bit about putting the Merit Hexies together in a project at the last meeting. This discussion was swirling around in my mind when I went looking through my media library (where all the photos I have posted to the blog live).

Time marches on. The year is more than half over and I ate up most of my yardage progress with the fabric that I bought on vacation. I don’t regret it.

Tim and I visited Colleen yesterday, went to lunch and visited a quilt shop. We had a fun time. Colleen has moved in the last few years, so it is more of an expedition to take her quilts than it used to be.
