I have been super busy hand sewing. I pretty much fell in love after I finished my Hexagon mini last month. It is my relaxation and take along project for the summer.
I can't show you a whole bunch of the project because it is for one of those great little blog hops at Sew We Quilt. There hasn't been a sign-up for it yet, but I am going to be completely prepared for it when it comes. Here are some pretty summer solids that I am using with my hexagons.
I am also busy working on my yarn stash. After a lost tote of yarn was found in May, (let just say it was missing for awhile) was found, I decided to make another afghan. It is all the remnants of previous projects that I have made in years past. I am hoping that I will have enough yarn to finish it all up and finish it by October.
Here is how far I have made it. Row 72. I only have 68 more to go. So, a little over halfway.
It is an old pattern out of a magazine that my grandma made many an afghan out of. She would finish one of these in a year. I now understand why it took so long to do. It is going to be quite large since it is done with double crochets. And I am going to rid myself of that tote of yarn!!! Yeah!
Now, I thought that I would leave you with a little bit of my summer blooms.
Have a great weekend!!!
The lovely places I link to......
Gorgeous hexi's.

ReplyDeleteYou are totally on the ball with those hexies Amy ! Your fabrics are super pretty... Happy go Lucky ? I'm still deciding if I want to do it, I've never sewn a hexie.
