POTC # 55 completed 16.11.09


Cental hexagons are from the La Scala Collection and the dark red are from Jinny Beyer Pallette collection. The pale pink are batik.


I have another 12 blocks designed, and have decided to continue completing these, in between preparing and sewing some of my joining squares.

I am also printing and slowly cutting both the cream hexagons which will go around each individual block and the small 1" square joiner fabric. Makes a small break between sewing the main blocks.

Andrea is helping join some of the cream hexagons...by doing 'threesies'

So there will be more than the original 56 blocks needed and I will be able to sort out from the final blocks which ones I want to use.
Thank goodnes this is Inklingo...

POTC # 54 Completed 15.11.09

Missed yesterday - at least I didnt get this one finished till earlier today. Meant to get another done...but spent the day in the garden...and looking forward to fresh vegies in the future.
The central fabrics are Nuance and the outer ones are batik.

Oh and we have a new frog in our frog Pond..Wee bit!! He looks just like Frodo, but is much smaller.
So there was another time waster over the weekend, not to mention some good TV programs!

POTC # 53 Completed 13.11.09

This was not an easy block to do.

The central Traditional Batik was really too soft and difficult to place. Involved a bit of unpicking.
The outside dark brown is Fossil Fern and apart from the central Tradidional Batik the others are another of my mysteries!

POTC # 51 completed 11.11.09
I seem to have a few mystery fabrics popping up all the time.....but I know the central ones are Asian...where they originated from - I have no idea! Batiks surround them.
Actually raining with thunder and lightening here at present - strange weather!

My contribution to the Worlds Greatest hexagon quilt.


14 of them, were posted off yesterday. 05.11.09.
I included a Freezer paper sheet with 15 printed hexagons ( of the cream fabric that goes on the border of each flower) on to show how I had printed on the fabric using Inklingo, and included the colour I printed with, and the size Freezer Paper I used...


Couldnt resist this one. Its Frodo2 again on one of his favorite rocks above his pond. The net is there to protect him from the birds here. Our first frog wasnt so lucky! There is another large tadple in the pond, so hopefully Frodo will have a friend soon.
POTC # 47
Completed 06.11.09.
This block was difficult as the patterned pieces are Liberty of London, and the fabric was so soft... it felt like sewing tissue paper and was a bit of a fiddle. The dark blue fabric is from the Jinny Beyer Pallete and the light blue - another mystery!
