Back Again!

I was away from home again last week, so that

meant being away from my sewing machine :(

Luckily I thought to bring along my hexies.

They have grown a lot in a week! 

I actually ran out of hexies patches to sew together,

so now I am back digging through my scraps

to make more.

Can I just say I love my scrap bin?

It gets bigger and bigger,

and it is like a treasure hunt when I dive in there.

Before I left the penthouse last week,

I did try one of Victoria's stars.

I loved making this one.

It does take a little bit of time tracing the pattern onto tracing paper,

but it is totally worth it.  I have already gotten the next ready to go,

now to pick the fabric!

I also got this lovely little package of fabric this week

from a good friend of mine.

She just knew I would be gaga for this lovely set of Kaffe!

I see a blue and white quilt in my future!

Or maybe blue and yellow?

Or maybe blue and magenta?

Or maybe blue and everything!

Can't wait to cut into these babies and see the fabric start flying.

So thoughtful of my friend to inspire me!

It's good to be home and near my sewing machine again,

sleeping in my own bed . . . .

Hope you are enjoying this beautiful spring day!

I think my hexies are calling me . . .
