The Start of Hexie Club 2013

I have had a lovely relaxing weekend in Taupo with family and quilting friends and 

of course a little bit of sewing between times. It is a great place to meet family from Wellington.

I also got to visit a lovely group of ladies in Taupo who are busy working on my Yoko Saito "Japanese Applique" Block of the Month. Wow are they making amazing progress. Thanks Sue for another amazing afternoon tea.

I have been working on projects for a new group at the shop for 2013 and probably a

Project of the Month Programme for those who cannot make it to the shop for a 

monthly group meeting. o watch for Hexie Club.

The first project I have started is based on 12mm hexagons. When measuring 

hexagons you usually measure the length of one side,so this on is small, but 

not our smallest!

Soon this will be a small project bag to carry scissors, threads, etc when I head off to group.

The back of the bag will be a favourite taupe fabric with this wee hexie flower on it.

The Club samples will probably be taupe and 1800s reproduction fabrics.

Or maybe this two-sided shot cotton Pin Cushion will feature too.
