Holiday Hexagons

I think I mentioned that I adore Kaye Wood's Hexagons. I also adore her quilting tools. I used the View and Do Hexagon template to do these toppers. These toppers can be used for numerous holidays - let's see Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Veteran's Day. Am I missing any?

Please take a moment on this Memorial Day to honor those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Hexagon Table Toppers

I managed to get my hexagons stitched together for these table toppers. At first the sewing of these hexagons intimidated me but then I came across this video by Kaye Wood, Hexagon Cut and Sew. Sew simple!!

Stitch N Pitch

The NY Mets Stitch N Pitch is next Saturday, June 5 at Citi Field in NY. The Mets are playing the Florida Marlins. I haven't been to the new stadium yet and have been wanting to go so I decided Stitch N Pitch Day is the perfect time.


Also at this particular event they are attempting to set the Guinness World Record™ for "Most People Crocheting Simultaneously." Click here for more information.

Maybe I'll see you there????

Won a Give Away

I won a give away over at the Flirty Apron Swap Blog, these cool Apron Cards. The cards were made by crafter Debbie M. I'm looking forward to receiving them. Sign ups are ending on May 30 for the latest swap. You still have time if you want to play.

Friday Night Sew In Projects

The Friday night sew in for May was a success for me. The past few sew ins I didn't get much accomplished if anything.

I completed a table runner that I had started last weekend. I used the tumbler die from my Accuquilt Go Fabric Cutter and 4 different black/white fabrics. For the backing and binding I used a red/black print.


I also cut some hexagons that I'm going to put together to make two table toppers. I think that sewing these together is going to be a challenging session.


Lastly I finished my apron and some oven mitts for the Pin Up Hot Mama Apron Swap. This is just a sneak peek. I'll post more on the project at another time.

Shawnee's New Apron Swap

Shawnee is starting a new Apron Swap. I love these swaps. They are a lot of fun and I can't not sign up because I'm addicted, LOL. A good addiction I think though. If you want to join us, go sign up by clicking on the image below.

Easy Striped Table Runners

Last weekend the Jersey Girl Quilters got together for a sewing day and we made the Easy Striped Table Runner. This is one pattern that is named correctly. I couldn't believe how simple and quick it was to do until I made one. Yesterday I made three more.

Wall Hangings

Here are a few wall hangings I did a while ago and forgot to post them on the blog.

I made this for my mom. I used a picture taken at our family picnic last summer. I had did another one out of orange material. Well the orange faded into the white. I have learned to test fabrics before using, especially the lower quality material.


I had taken a class at my LQS, Piecing With Grace, on landscape quilting. This technique is really cool. BTW Piecing With Grace has closed. And Pastimes Quilt Shop maybe closing shortly too.
