Finally some Me time!

Yes that is how it felt yesterday.

The Christmas Tree and all the decorations are away for another year

and the house was clean....ahhhhh  :O)

I started by finishing off my 14th stitched Hexie for my 

"Best Friends Forever BOM"

Then went and grabbed out the rest of the project only to find more Hexies 

that I haven't framed yet.

So I started cutting the backing Hexagons for the remainder of the quilt and then cut the wadding needed from my wadding scraps when I got a little distracted by Lily's new portable DVD player that she got for Christmas just laying on the floor.  Normally she is really good and puts stuff away but she has nowhere for it to go so I decided that it needed a bag.

I called Lily and let her go through my Mini Charm packs and pick a favorite 

and with that as my inspiration off I went.

 

I am quite pleased with the result as in just under 2 hours Lily has a new Bag to keep her DVD player,

charger, headphones and even a few DVD's when traveling in.  Not a bad effort, especially considering I wasn't following a pattern. I just "winged it".  Best bit, Lily LOVES it.

Speaking of my Miss Lily.  

Do you like her new bracelet?

Looks like I can also add "Rainbow Looming" to my repertoire.

Hope you have the chance to do something that you enjoy today.

Best Friends Forever

I have had Installment one for a couple of weeks now.

Best Friends Forever BOM

by Rosalie Quinlan

I have never really been "into" the framed Hexies but Rosalie's stitcheries have sold me on this one :o)

I have been playing with a couple of ideas, even drafting Paper Piecing templates for the plain hexies.  First up I was going to use a new range in at my LQS and then planned on using all my Bonnie and Camille Scraps.  

Something was stopping me. It just wasn't right so I just let the pattern sit there.

 Then on Wednesday I could hear a "scream".  

Yep "Scrumptious" was letting out an almighty scream :o)

Once the decision was made, it was so easy to start cutting :)

This pattern is "quilt as you go" and I need 60+ of the plain hexies plus the embroidered ones. I have started on the plain ones.

Here are the first 15.

This line of fabrics is truly living up to its name :o)

Now to pick some coordinating threads.
