My little bit of this big World

Wednesday 22 June 2016

All together now

I have stitched a few each of these last colours and designs
 Here are the mixed design hexagons I will be using
 I have picked four of each
 To help with my OCD, I have put them all in this box
Starting with the hand made hexi, the hope is I pick one from the box and sew it, no putting them back trying to match, I want to make it fun without my added stress of trying to make it look random. 
 I have rather alot of these hexagons, I think about 1400
but I have a few other projects I want to make
 and if I hate the whole putting them together
someone (my sister) would love to have them.
 I have one pile to finish sewing
I lost an hour cutting out paper template hexagons
but I am loving doing it all the old fashioned way
this box is just a perfect project box, just looking a bit empty now.
Firstly hubby is feeling much better, he had repairs to his left shoulder the tendons had torn, he has his arm in a sling and is taking things easy. So I am chief cook and bottle washer for a few weeks. So thank you for your comments.
Not much else happening here, I'm just so tired, it's been a pretty eventful couple of days, so an early night is called for.

  2. Happy the hubby is doing better. Yeah, I drive myself crazy with the random thing also. When I crochet all those yo yo scraps for a bedspread, I just HAD to divide them into rows so it would look rihgt. silly me!

  6. Wow, that's a lot of hexagons, they look so pretty all lined up in the box. Glad to hear your husband is on the mend.

  7. Random is always so hard to do - creating patterns is much easier! It looks lovely so far. Your hexie stash looks great as well.
    Best wishes
