How utterly wwonderful...I cannot WAIT to see a post all about it when you've been. <br />Your patchwork hexagons are really beautiful... You have made me want to raid all the fabric I can from around the house (and possibly my mothers house too) and make some for myself. Looking forward to seeing more progress pics soon. And you are absolutely right about the hand sewing, I too find it so soothing.<br /><br />xxx <br />LouiseTea at Weasel'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604423580611540588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-7146943788293006892012-01-22T16:09:42.137+00:002012-01-22T16:09:42.137+00:00I haven't tried patchwork like that since I wa...I haven't tried patchwork like that since I was a child - I don't think I had the patience for it then, so I doubt I would now! I always think it looks beautiful though and I kept back some of my daughter's little dresses so I could do something like this with some of them. <br />How are you getting on with 'never let me go'? I watched the film adaptation the other day and thought it quite good.YarnRoundHookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236467315705385693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-50693090824686822372012-01-20T21:21:10.671+00:002012-01-20T21:21:10.671+00:00The quilt is AMAZING!

That pattern ...I love your grandmother's hexes. That pattern was the very first one I used to make a quilt, I made it over 30 years ago and it graces my photo id and also can be seen on my blog pics. Isn't it grand to be able to make something from the reusable parts of things that are worn in the past, a scrap of a favorite dress, a piece of a baby dress, grandma's apron....love it! The great thing too is that you can sit and watch the tv while stitching and kill 2 birds with one stone. If I was Alice I would want to fall down a soft rabbit hole of yarn, I would either crochet or knit myself right out of it and love every minute while doing it, lol<br />Keep warm, have a great day...<br />Susanne :)Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-63502642301799250922012-01-19T19:02:34.668+00:002012-01-19T19:02:34.668+00:00What a wonderfully cheerful post and I love the fa...What a wonderfully cheerful post and I love the fabric for the summer dress.<br />Those hexagon flowers look great, really like the ones with embroidery on.

I love the hexi patchwork, it's so therapeutic, you can't rush. There's a bit of drawing, a bit of cutting, then tacking and then stitching. It's like making a garden grow, and with your pretty fabrics it will look like a garden once you've finished! And I love the Noro yarn, I was quite overcome by it all when I was in my new LYS the other day, oh for more hours in the day! <br />Thanks for joining in with the cheerfulness this week xxxPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08292050209658686142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402402600046694659.post-8742023790032292392012-01-19T15:24:30.867+00:002012-01-19T15:24:30.867+00:00I LOVE your patchwork, it's gorgeous!
