I have been working all summer on my Hexagons made with Kaffe Fassett Collection fabric and Pink Bubble Gum Kona Cotton.
Here is a part of the lay out I am thinking of doing. I am planning to use more green KFC for between the flowers. I am not really liking the green, maybe to busy looking.
Opps, I had a little repair job to do. Gemma Pup got a hold of this flower and put a whole in one petal. I had to fussy cut a now hexagon and resew.
I have added this post to Kathy's Quilts, were you can find more hand work.
Here is my boys loading the truck, the cabin is were we stayed for 3 nights. Take special note of the blue box my oldest is carrying, it is my Hexagon project on the move. So nice to see then working hard. I got a far bit done on the hand stitching. I tried basing hexagons on the drive. I get car sick easily but I was able to baste Hexagons on the straighter roads. Miracles do exist.
Gemma Pup on one of our hikes. We had both dogs with us, so it was kind of a different vacation.
I love these very artful choices for your hexagons.
ReplyDeleteThe hexi colors are amazing! Vacation time is always nice when you can throw in some sewing.
ReplyDeleteLove the bubble gum pink solid as the background for your KFC hexagons. It always amazes me at the different combinations that can be done. Have fun as put in some basting stitches today!
ReplyDeleteI think it is really difficult to find the "paths' color and also any little patch additions. I need to finish up my Monet's garden--and figure out what I want to make out of it--and then I want to attempt a star hexagon piece..."if wishes were horses...etc" lol hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed you can stitch at all in the car. There is no way for me to. Visiting from Slow Sunday Stitching.
ReplyDeletesounds like it was a wonderful vacation!
ReplyDeleteI like to work on my hexagons when driving(riding that is) and it usually works well. In my ongoing hexie project I originally planned to have leaves but I couldn't make them look the way I wanted and finally just took them all out. I like yours so far but hard to know if they are too much without seeing a larger area. Maybe we can look at it at retreat :)
ReplyDeleteI love those beautiful hexagons.
