I missed a couple of weeks- the end of the school year always gets so busy- but came back with 32 this week for a total of 1816 down with 1104 to go!
I also stitched together five or six flowers,which barely even counts as progress, but there ya go.
I decided that I wanted a little bit of love from some of the women nearest and dearest to me in the quilt, so I made three dozen little letters with a fabric square, a hex, needle, thread and instructions and sent them off. They are starting to trickle in slowly I'm so excited. (Mom, if you are reading this, I haven't mailed yours yet!) These special ones are all the same fabric, and it's the only one with purple, so that I can point them out to the Princess.
Linking up with Jessica, again.

ReplyDeletei love your idea of little packets mailed out thingy.. also love the colors in completed hexi flower. yay progress!
ReplyDeleteoh my--what a great idea to send out packets and use a certain fabric...so nice!! Great progress, too!!!
ReplyDeletethat's so cool that you've invited others to join in your project. I hope they respond quickly! Cant wait to hear more about this part of the pink hexie journey.
ReplyDeleteWow! I never thought of inviting others to join in and what a cool way to do it. Now you have me thinking...I have 4 generations of women in my family that sew....how cool would it be to get each of them to make a star or flower or just contribute to even one in the quilt? Love it!
