Foxglove at Night Wall hanging

I just love these blocks.  The colours are sooo vibrant.

And finally, put together and all those paper bits removed from the back.  Yeah!

The Hedgehog Pincushion - Everyday Handmade

You have to see this....
So I borrowed this book from the library

EVERY project they present is marvellous.  I couldn't decide which was my favourite.  Cassie Barden and Adrienne Smitke are co-authors of Everyday Handmade.  Now look what I made with their wonderful instructions.

 Another adorable pincushion.... Need I say more.

Hexagons, the progress

I have been positively addicted to these.  Between company and housework I have been making really good progress.

lots of blue, huh ? But look at this...

More of the browns here. I'm not quite sure how the two will interface but I must figure that out soon and join them.  I am about 2/3 done I estimate by the hole between these two sections on the floor.

Maybe I shouldn't have laid these down on the rug for picture purposes but it was such a lovely sunny day and they were handy here.  You can't see but I have lots of little papers to remove from the blue hexs but I will get to that too.

Pincushion Crazy 2

Undaunted I tried again.  This time I thought I would go with something I know.  I went to bhg.com to find the pattern for Anna Maria Horner's Flower Pincushion.  I made three of these a few years ago and ended up giving them all away.  I thought they would be smaller and perhaps a better size.  Remembering how they flew out of my sewing room with their admirers I thought a multiple would be a good idea.

OKay five might be more than I need but they are all sooo cute... and easy to make.  But sadly still a bit big...
