I've been overwhelmed by the number of entrants in my giveaway and I've had so much fun visiting everyone's blogs. It's been such a fabulous way to get to "meet" new quilters and crafters. So GOODLUCK to everyone!
Meanwhile I've been making these little hexagons using the glue method instead of basting stitches. I plan on making a small change purse for my Mum with these. I've been using the cottonbud (qtip) to apply a narrow line of watersoluable glue around the seam allowance then fold the fabric over the papers as usual. It's such a quick and easy method.
.This is something I've had around for a long time. I bought this pink floral a little impulsively with the intention of making a quick and simple strippy quilt. I've been making these HST and sewing them into strips to use alternately with the pink floral. I'm such a sucker for a pretty floral!
Lastly my pile of orange peel applique is growing. I think I need 64 to make the little quilt on the cover of Remembering Adelia. Of course I have another 3 quilts very near to completion and another 3 I'm ready to start along with all the wishes and want tos. I love this obsession!
Bye for now, Rowena

It is a wonderful obsession.Your pink and green hsts are nice.I would love to see the orange peel applique.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good obsession though, and we get something beautiful from it.
ReplyDeleteI am doing hexagons, but hand sewing with no paper or glue. I have used the glue stick for some applique, but it seems a bit thick for me.

The 1/2" hexagons are beautiful. I love the glue method also.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above. The hexagons look gorgeous together, and the pink and green goes well with that fabric. I have some of it as well, so now I have a preview of how to use it.
