A hex on me!

I'm sure at some stage I said that I was going to get whole lot of UFO's finished this year...maybe I meant next year because I seem to be starting something new. Actually two somethings.

A little hexy challenge is going on between a few ladies. Still sorting out the details but I've made a start anyway. I'm planning an off white, pink and green, shabby styles...something. I think it'll be another quilt. But who knows?


And these? Well these are the centres for a 1930's quilt I am planning.
I collected A LOT of 1930's fabrics when I decided I was going to do the flowers and I am never going to use all that I have in one quilt so....I'm planning at least two more :o) 

I went on a quick jaunt to Daylesford today and visited the Spa Quilters Quilt Show. It was really nice with lots of fabulous quilts, bags and wall hangings. The group seems to have a lot of different influences meaning there was a diverse range of patchy, quilty styles.  

Time for tea...and another sip of red.
Perfect accompaniment to the roaring fire.

  4. I don't think I'd ever have the patience to do hexagons like that, so I'll follow yours with interest.

  7. I would love a 30's hexie quilt, so if you wouldn't mind whipping up 2 of them that would be great. Also, wino-crafters, crafty -winers or any variation of these 2 words would be great! Happy drinking!!
