I'm done with "round 2" of the hexie flowers.
Each "round" I look at my stash of scraps, I have little cubbies where I have fabrics sorted by color.
I have 7 cubbies
white
yellow/orange
red
pink/purple
blue
green
black/brown
so I take 2 scraps from each one for the outer part of the hexie flowers and use smaller scraps for the inside. AND I have this plastic container I think for beads where the hexies in progress fit perfectly 14 at a time.
Today I just had to start on my custoners 8 pillow tops, I haven't done pillow tops like this on the long arm before, I've done mini quilts one at a time, but here she wanted basic leaves all over and gave me muslin for backing, so two pillow tops fit a WOF perfectly.
I'm halfway done- 4 down 4 to go.
Oh I just HAD to show this too- a neighbor invited the kids and I to go a pick blackberries in their back yard, so we did that and had plenty for a cobbler. yum!
Then today I got this little package!! I knew it was a pin cushion for the pin cushion swap, but didn't know what it would look like...
look! a little house! isn't it cute? and with a little owl on top, isn't that fitting? :-)
And even a little own pin on top too, what a HOOT!

Such a cute house--love it! I need to make me a list like yours. How fun to be able to scratch off the things that are completed!
Wow you are doing just fantastic! I only have one thing on my list, and I'm still working on it. Of course it is hand quilting a queen size quilt, but still... I'm plugging away at it. (It is my first.)
Such a cute little pincushion house! Yes, it is a HOOT! (Your wordplay wasn't lost on me.)
I am so impressed by your hexs! I love your new pincushion it is awesome! You are so busy!
Love your hexies! And the pincushion is just fantastic. I don't know what to send to you next month to match this.
The hexies look fabulous and that house is soooooo cute!
OWL cute is that!
Please spread the word, I am trying to wrap Aurora in warmth and love by sending each first responder and survivor a quilt. If one doesn't quilt, knit or crochet, they can contact me for ways to help with postage:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Aurora-Colorado-Emergency-Responder-Quilts/401592493230782

What a cute pin cushion ((I came in from Fun Thread's Sew What Monday)
Well you're just surrounded with all sorts of yummy things these days! :) That cobbler makes my mouth water and your pin cushion is the cutest thing! I've been neglecting my hexies. Yours are lovely!
Bea, is this your yearly TO-DO lost?
