Harrow Hexies (and giveaway reminder)

My lovely Mother-in-Law lives in Harrow, about 20 minutes drive away from us.  We usually pop over and see her every other weekend: husband does whatever odd jobs need doing, and my responsibility is to drink coffee and listen!!!

For a long time I've had a hexi and triangles project stashed away by "my" seat at her house.  One was finished 18 months or so ago, and is in daily use


The replacement project is again iSpy fabrics; this time with pale triangles.  It's slow progress, but as I haven't done much other sewing this week I thought I'd show you how far its got
The rough plan is concentric rings of light and of dark fabrics, around the blue owl in the top right corner

As well as having stitched all those pieces together, I have a box of tacked hexies and triangles

With plenty more cut hexies to keep me busy!

And as I've talked written about "The Duchess" (also known as "the package"), here she is: the other Mrs Hickley saying hello to you all

And a final reminder that there is a giveaway : scroll back to last week, or click here to register your interest!

    You always have something on the go, don't you Benta? I am impressed that you even have WIP's in your MIL's house to keep you occupied, when you are not drinking coffee that is :)
