I would love for you to join me (a retired senior)in my zany crafting adventures with quilting (waaaaay too much fabric); scrapbooking (will I ever catch up?); redwork; counted cross stitch; crossword puzzles; reading; and cooking.

HEXAGONIA: An Armchair Travel Project

 

My "Traveling Tin" 
from my Mom:

She lined it with felt...
:)))
And
I filled it with my new 
armchair project
"Hexagonia Garden"

Here are the starting fabrics:

and
Rounds:

All these are from the 
"Kismet" line
that I just love...

I bought myself a group of fat 8ths
and will be adding more 
fabrics in the peach color
from my stash
as I go along and
the piece grows...

I am excited to be able to hand 
sew while resting on 
my heating
pad...
And watching 
our Formula One (F1)
races this weekend...
(Zoom-Zoom)
:)))))

**********************************
My pre-printed cross
stitchery has to be done at a 
table in order for me to 
hold it so I can SEE
the small holes...
so that time is limited
for me right now...

**********************************
This morning I used my Go! Baby
Accuquilt cutter hexagon die to cut
freezer papers and fabrics
for the hexagons...

while

Tom took apart an old, big
desk that we will be
replacing with a smaller
less bulky one...

[He does all the 
"heavy lifting" around here...]
I am lucky to have him...

T G I F everyone

Hugs, Julierose

P.S.  Most comments are not coming to my gmail account--
anyone know why this is happening?

  1. What a lovely tin. The fabric is beautiful. There are some new lines coming out that really have me tempted. One is Wild Forgotten by Art Gallery Fabrics. It's not my usual colors but it hits a cord somehow. Enjoy your day. . .

  2. Your Mom's tin is a sweet treasure to have, Julierose. The Accuquilt cutter is a great tool!
    I'm having all sorts of issues with Blogger these days and have no idea why :(

  3. Imagine my surprise when I saw that tin - I have the exact same one!! When we were cleaning out my friends condo I found it and decided it had to come home with me.
    Sorry I don't know why the comment thing is happening but I have a mystery of my own....for some reason my keyboard and my computer aren't talking nicely all the time. Another puzzle to solve!

  4. Hope your comment problem is now fixed, who knows why these things happen? I'm pleased you are still taking things easy while you stitch and heal.

  5. You have no comments here either. And I'm not getting a Bloglovin' report daily either. What's up? I couldn't decide about Kismet but the fabrics you pulled are beautiful and the quilt will be lovely.

  6. What a lovely reminder of your mom! I get into hexagon moods only to stop making them. I'll finish them at some point! I never get email notifications lately. I just end up checking my blog. Weird!! Hope you feel better soon!

  7. Reset comment notification for your blooooog.

    I love your travel tin. A friend gave me a largish flat tin too, for a travel tin--Brooklyn Bridge Chocolates, long since eaten by me. I like the lining of felt, good idea
