Boy was that a nightmare. The young lad decided he wanted his in satin & with a caplet. He wanted to make it himself but has no experience with sewing. Oh dear. Cutting out was mostly wrong. Had seams where it should’ve been cut on fold. Cut on a fold where a seam should’ve been. Then to cap it off he didn’t have enough satin so i had to find other black material for the front sections. I kindly offered to sew it together for him. Oh it’s together now with much effort & cursing. :) Just wish i’d gotten a photo.
This week i’m a bit better with my days. :) Here are my 1” hexies for last week & this week.
The 1/2” hexies &
the babies. Sorry about the photo’s. Lounge room is just to bright. :( Either that or i need a new camera.
This arrived last week . The next in the series of “someday quilts” by Clare O’Donohue. Quite a good read. It’s a mystery novel with quilting thrown in.
These arrrived also. Hadn’t heard of this writer before & came across her quite by accident. Enjoyed these immensely.
Book 3 of the series i posted about 2 posts ago finally arrived. was worth the wait. I couldn’t put the book down until i found out what happened. :) All books from my favourite shop.

It's certainly not hard to loose a day, they spin by so fast!
Pretty flowers!
Beautiful flowers. and the books look interesting.
nice work
Great hexie flowers and thanking for recommending the books.
Lovely flowers :-)
Wonderful flowers in wonderful colours. The cursing worked...
I love your flowers! There's a day lost in any of my weeks, it's going so fast! Would have liked to see Boy's cloak!
Happy stitching, Cisca
It sounds like you had a great week! ;-) Lovely flowers. Enjoy your books!
Have just started a book by Cindy Woodsmall called When the Heart Cries, it is 1 of a set of 3, so far is quite good.
Have the other set you have (the Telling) but haven't gotten to those ones yet!
Will have to look for the other Cindy Woodsmall ones.
Thanks for the book recommendations!
Back on track with your flowers, looking good. I think I missed the whole month. How can it be the end of October already!
I see lovely flowers and a lot of my favorite books which are on the book shelve here too!
Wauh, 3 sizes of hexies :-). You have done well this week and cute they are.
Thank you for your nice words.
Yep, those Wed. just fly right by and another one is here before you know it. All of your flowers for your garden are just lovely.
Cheers,
Bobbie
As always Jeanette , your flowers are sweet and so many of them , great work. The books look interesting as well .
Pretty flowers!
I have to look up the books you have. Sounds great to read them. Not sure if they already translated into Dutch though.
Beautiful flowers. Thanks for the recommendation on the books.
Sweet flowers this week. I feel guilty if I miss a week of posting, but we aren't going to be arrested by any quilt police, so I try not to get too upset with myself.
Thanks for the book recommendations. Any books connected with quilting are worth the time.
All your hexies are coming along so nicely. And thanks for sharing your reading interests. Funny but I DO know of Beverly Lewis and have read several of her books, but have never heard of Cindy Woodsmall! Could it be because you and I live on different continents!?
Lovely hexies Jeanette. I like Cindy Woodsmall's books too - the Sisters of the Quilt trilogy is excellent and just about to come out in one book I noticed (much cheaper!). I have read the first of the Ada's House books as well but have been waiting for the 2nd one and the Sound of Sleigh Bells to come out in paperback...I think I may be placing a little order this morning :grin:
Lovely hexies, the gingham one caught my eye also. I know how you feel with your last sewing project, sometimes things just don;'t go smoothly.
Oh, I have sworn off hexagons as they are so labor intensive no matter how great they look.
I have made note of your book recomendations. I love to read but finding good books in English can be a challenge here in Japan.
You have been so busy and the flowers are lovely.
Oh, it seems like Wednesday get here so fast sometimes. Great flowers.
