More hexagons and a pincushion


I sat and stitched up these pretty little hexi's yesterday. They will go out in today's mail to be swapped around the world :) I can't believe how much fun I am having trading these little guys !! I figure fairly soon I will have enough to start putting my table runner together !! 


I love this one that I received from Long Beach, such a beautiful red !! It will fit perfectly in my fall themed runner !!


And I received these pretty petals all the way from New Jersey , love the batik . I am gonna have to do a project with Batik hexi's and a black path, I think that would be a pretty combination !


My swap partner received her pincushion for the swap that I hosted. I just love how it turned out and I am over the moon that my swap partner was pleased with it :)

Swaps in, Swaps out :)


I received the beautiful hexagon's from Ellen the other day . The will looks just beautiful in my table runner. I just love how it will have flowers in it from all over the world !! I also made a couple to go on their journey across the pond . One will be going to England and the other to Germany. 


I am so excited I ordered a Fiskar's Hexagon Punch from Amazon last week and it should be arriving at some point this week ! It will make doing these hexagons so much quicker as I think it takes me longer to trace and cut out the hexagon than to sew them together !! 


I received this adorable pincushion and thread catcher from Tina Friday !! It's great for when I am sitting on the lounge sewing as I don't have to get up near as often to go to the trash can to throw away the scraps of fabric and thread !!


And I finished off the mug rug for Angie. It still needs a bit of a press to get the join in the binding to lay flat. I need to figure out a new method of binding as I never like how the join area looks. Some people can get theirs to lay perfectly flat but mine always seems to have a lump in it :/

The baby bunnies are doing wonderful. Their little eye's are just starting to open. Another week and they will start to explore outside of the nestbox. That will bring out my camera for lots of adorable pictures :)

Baby Bunnies , Hexagon's, Mug Rug


Meet 2 of the new additions to the Bunny Barn. Above is Hulk a blue/fawn harlequin VM mini rex. Below is Diva a black otter mini rex and brand new mamma :)


They day after I bought the pair of them she gave birth to these 3 beautiful kits :) They are 3 days old in this picture. I am really looking forward to watching them grow !!


I have completed a few hexagons to swap. I am trying to get enough from all over the world to make a pretty table runner. I saw one on pinterest that really inspired me.


This is my little Spring themed mug rug for a swap that I am hosting on facebook. I will work on the buttonhole stitching tonight at work. I also need to make some progress on the crazy quilt pincushion as it is due to be mailed out in a few days !!
