My Week
As i've joined 2 groups working on quilts from Vignette In Stitches & book 3 is nearly due out i figured i'd better make a start on them. Easter Saturday i traced out the stitcheries for block 1.
I've gotten this far in a week. I also traced out the stitchery needed for the Vignette hexagon quilt but haven't made a start on them yet.
Over the weekend i made a start on the hexagons themselves. I then couldn't decide on which pieces to use as centres. Made the executive decision to trace out all the jelly roll strips & make the leaves up & go from the with the blooms. This is how many i've managed so far.
When i bought my hat bow a while back the shop also had chests for sale. I wanted to get one but by the time i went back they'd all sold. I was in Ipswich the other day & noticed one of the cheapie shops had the hat boxes & other boxes in there. I wandered in as i had 10 minutes to kill before my appointment & discovered to my delight they had some chests there.
I am using this for the hexagons & i use the hat box to store the Vignette In Stitches pieces in. I'd been seeing on a blog for a while hexagons being made for a Confetti quilt. Curiosity got the better of me. I looked it up on Google & found where to buy it. :) This arrived last week.
Not sure when i'll get time to make though. Too many other projects UFO's to finish & that i'm working on.

Jeanette what a busy lady you are i can relate to all the UFO'S lol,i am also doing the vignette quilt and the SAL but i have had to put them aside as i am in quite a few swaps including 2 xmas ones lol, so i need to work on them just need some more hours in the day,lol.
That's a lovely chest and makes a great hexagon storage.
What size are the hexies for the Confetti quilt?
Wow, I love your stitcheries and especially the background fabric!
Great minds think alike. I just bought that pattern too.

Wow. You've been stitching your little fingers to the bone. I love your chest. I have a half finished hexagon quilt there and I need to get on and finish it. All you Hexie girls are inspiring me.
Wow have you been busy - this is a LOT of handwork! Lovely, lovely stitching. Loving those hexagons, but resisting the temptation!
Oh I like that pattern much better than the vignette one might have to look out for it thanks for puting it up Jeanette
Jeanette, I too, store various projects in my boxes. Just love them. Not only does it keep things tidy, they are so very pretty.
Love your stitcheries, they are just lovely.
Cheers,
Bobbie
Love the stitcheries!! Do your fingers ever get sore?? Box is perfect for storage!! Wow, that confetti quilt is going to be gorgeous!
Lovely stitcheries and very nice hexies as well. what a very nice box to keep your hexies in.
Could you share the site or company where you purchased the Confetti Hexagon pattern? I have been looking for just the right pattern! Thanks, Connie
