Do you see those hexagons?

I pieced the hexagons and appliqued the Blue Wren Nest . Then made it into a pot holder . Made a pair, actually. The one on the right is the reverse side.

 

My sister has been under the weather lately. So this is for her to cheer her up !

 

luv ya

More Hexie Caddy Pincushions

I’m so happy to see more of my Hexie Caddy Pincushions appearing in Blogville!


image
I think Marjorie will be making a smaller one.




image

But Shannon of Pieceful Kwilter knew it was going to be big. So she used a 1.5” hexie instead of 2”. Yes, you can make it any size you like by changing the size of the hexagon.

Lastly,  Barbara made this . 
If you  have made any Hexie Caddy Pincushion, please send me your pics or links . I love to ‘show-off’ all your beautiful creations!

Graciela of  Hilitos de Colores  made my Hexagon Tote-Along Pouch. She even made a tutorial on how she made the pouch…in Spanish!
Muchas Gracias Graciela!


Thank you ladies for sharing your creations with me.

I moved out…..

…my sewing machine moved out ….from the guest/sewing room yesterday. The mess I make in the little room was getting overwhelming. Besides, mummy will be coming for a stay soon :)


So, I moved into the computer/study…and now /sewing room . And to make the computer/study/sewing room a little more ‘sewing’ , I made a nice cover for my sewing machine !



DSCN2385
I used a lot of white to make the room look bright and cheery.

DSCN2386
This stitchery is just perfect! A reminder to anyone in this room to pick up those pins I may drop! It’s a stitchery for a pincushion from Homespun.
Get the free project here. 


DSCN2327
While there, check out the heaps of projects. I discovered them while checking out Khristina’s Flower Power
I made the wrist pincushion.

I love it !


Happy Stitching and Happy Weekend!!!
