Hello hello
Julie & I are enjoying seeing all your different projects, in all their different stages
- very inspiring.
- very inspiring.
First up today, here's a little peek at what I've been busy doing . . .
I've been adding a few more blocks to my pastel version of 'candied hexagons'.
Lots of fun making lots of little scrappy fabric decisions with these little 6" hexis.
And I'm really enjoying up cycling my family embroideries.
Must admit, making that very first cut into the vintage doilies was the hardest,
the rest was easy.
the rest was easy.
It's a great project to add a few little blocks to now and then,
especially when I need a break from the more labour intensive projects.

My pick from last time was this improv piece by Maureen from mysticquilter

I loved Maureen's Coins last week too - those colours were stunning. Loving your little hexi blocks - hand or machine sewn?
ReplyDeleteYes Maureen's coins are pretty impressive. As are your creative ways of using some vintage linens.
ReplyDeleteI love the EPP work, especially how you are using up the older embroidered work. Your Chinese Coins are more interesting than the traditional way of piecing chinese coins.
ReplyDeleteThose bits of vintage are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use those embroideries though I'd find it hard to cut them up too! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday!
ReplyDeleteI like how you are cutting the doiles so that you get that lovely sweep of lace edging against another fabric. Very effective.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaja. Yes, I didn’t want to waste all the doily lace edgings after I’d chopped them up! They add another pretty element don’t they?
DeleteBeautiful version of 'candied hexagons' and you're using family embroideries, gorgeous with color and texture, I'm in love with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Candied Hexagons are real beauties and your idea of using family embroideries makes these hexies extra special.
ReplyDeleteThat little bit of lace is so pretty! Love it with these quilt blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove how you are upcycling those doilys. Fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteI love your hexagons with the vintage embroideries! That is going to have a wonderful amount of texture when it's done.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to add more info to the links? Post title, photo? I have to admit, I need more motivation to click than a list of names. Anyway, all the best!
Your candied hexies are full of yummy sweetness.
