Hexagon Hoopla!

Where did the weekend go? 
Monday is here....and all I have accomplished is adding a few more hexagons to a growing garden....


I am up to 11 blocks...only 19 more to go!


In the Fall I will be teaching a few technique classes...including English Paper Piecing....

  
I absolutely love piecing by hand and am so excited to be able to pull a few others on board...YAY!


My Sunday was spent shopping with my middle daughter, Maggie.
She didn't have much luck finding what she was looking for...but I was able to pick up a couple of things at Anthropologie....


Some yummy smelling soaps...


And another plate to add to my collection....
Happy Monday!

    I love your hexagons! I am working on hexagons right now too. Going to make a pillow. Then maybe do some Christmas hexagons.....I feel the same way about hand piecing. So relaxing.

    The hex's are so pretty. I have never enjoyed paper piecing, so they scare me a little. But I do so admire them!

    I want those flowers in my garden Mary - when they set seed can you send me some and I shall plant them with care! If only?? Looks like I might have to sign up to two hexie quilts and I haven't started one yet!

    Anyone that sees your hexagon quilt will want to start one!! It's beautiful!! I'm in love with that plate, it's different, a bit strange and so pretty all at the same time. We don't have Anthropology in Australia but when I was in the States a few years ago I went to one and loved it!

    I've only made a few hexagons, just to teach myself, but seeing your beautiful blocks(?) has inspired me to do more of them, but with a purpose!
