Half Inch Hexies

Today,

I have reached the next milestone - 4,000  ...  actually 4,144.   It measures 51"x53".

SWAP

These are pics of the January mug rug swap with Quilting Gallery. The first one is what I received, the second and third ones are what I sent (mug rugs, wrist pin cushion and a copy of Homespun magazine where my project was published). My swap partner lived not far from Boston, USA.

KOALA MITTENS

I made these mittens for the koalas that were victims of the recent bush fires.  Will put them in the post tomorrow.  You might recognise the tapes Diane - you gave me this when that well known men's wear store closed, put to good use.

BAGS

I have had fun making these small (and not so small) bags - having a rest from my 1/2 inch hexies (now have over 3,000 joined together).

December Update

Finally finished making the three

projects I purchased at the craft show back in October.  The angel postcard was made for the CQs Christmas swap.

HEXIES

The next milestone reached - 2,100 today!

1006 So Far

A WIP (work in progress) - these are half inch hexies using small bits from my stash, well over 1,000 different fabrics will be in it when finished.  It is a long term project - very portable in the preparation stage.  It is all hand sewn - no glue used at all!  I am joining 7 into a 'flower' and then adding these to the main piece.  Currently it measures 24 inches by 30 inches at the longest and widest points.
