Odds and Sods

Nothing really to report in the way of sewing, but Helen (from Archie the Wonder Dog) and I had a chat about tiny blocks (unnecessarily tiny some might say *).I mentioned a tiny hexi piece that I'd started, but when she asked if it was on the blog I realised it might not be, so here is ha"penny hexi: each flower is about the size of an old English halfpenny (ha'penny) coin
(* the discussion started because Helen made some *tiny* leaf blocks where the blocks were an insane 3/4 inch! Click here to look)
While I was looking for the ha'penny hexi piece, I also found my Aussie Hexies: 79 of them joined to two triangles, and I don't think I've shown these for ages:
These diamonds are waiting to become stars:

Annoyingly I have no solid red fabric left for border or binding, and have no idea whose it was or where i got it, so there will have to be some creative finishing!
I did make some bunting a few days ago:


And Lisa has met up with Brendan and by now they should be on the road to Colorado!

  2. I can't believe anyone would make those teeny hexies! You are a superstar, Benta! Sweet bunting too!

  3. Those hexies really are tiny, aren't they? I'm tempted to make a miniature quilt soon - whilst my eyes might still manage it - but it's 'in the queue' so don't expect action on it anytime soon!
