And the Winner Is!!!!
Well; we had a fantastic Hexie Queen blog hop!! The winner of my giveaway is:
Getting things Together
Today is a day for me to get caught up. I have been spending most of my time in the garden..today is raining; which we need. So; to the sewing room I went!!
I finished my Swoon quilt top: not a great picture...it barely fits on my kitchen floor here...I'll get better pics later on.
Block #7 for the About A Quilt QAYGGAL
This was quilted on my domestic Baby Lock Tempo......
And a lap quilt I did as a group thing with our local fabric shop
Disappearing 4 patch. Again; not great lighting.
I did a large meandering on the Tiara for this one.
This is made with flannel wool fabric and is a blessing to machine quilt.

Be A Hexie Queen
The final day of the blog hop; and my day to show you what I've made with my very first hexies.
I have always steered clear of hexies because of that tedious shape!! But, alas...it isn't bad at all!!
Now, I am not saying I am going to make a bed size quilt yet; but I at least know more about them now.
Thank goodness for Madame Samm and Debbie; or I probably never would have tried this. And we have Connecting Threads as our sponsor...they are wonderful!! Thank you guys!!!!!!
Now; my first project is a couple of candle mats. and they are made from 'Lucy Crab Shack'.
I stitched these by machine and turned them right side out...quick and easy!! Two hexie flower candle mats.
The second project is a baby quilt....for this one; I cut out the hexies and machine appliqued them onto the background. I know; easy way out!! That was my first thought until I made the candle mats....I kind of enjoyed doing them. But this quilt; I saw on Craftsy and loved it...so;
Same 'Lucy Crab Shack' fabric for the hexies...I love the softness of this quilt. I machine quilted it on my wonderful Tiara!!
I hope you enjoyed these projects and this blog hop...I have had lots of fun and learned something new that I will definitely try again. Now go and visit all of the others posting today...lol
