I don't paper piece but do the old-fashioned, set-in seam method. Sometimes if I haven't made a hexie project in a while, I just feel the urge to cut some out and sew. Not sure why they are so satisfying but they are! I wish I had your color sense -- your bluebell quilt is amazing and beautiful!pens and needleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419188410602193272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-32648665233447905512017-05-16T16:55:06.625+01:002017-05-16T16:55:06.625+01:00I want to make a bluebell quilt now!

Thank you for all the photos, I await each weeek to see what you're up to. Such a busy lady & so kind to let us have a peek into your world.

Have you posted anything of the inside? I'd love to see more. And a big BRAVO on the feature in the magazine. I suspect we don't get it here. I didn't know you made cards. Of course I'm loving anything and everything nautical as we decorate our lake cottage once again!! My sister Nancy is quite good making cards, it's been a passion for several years. She has a blog called Stamp For Les (blogspot.com), dedicated to our late sister, Leslie, who also was a great card artist and featured in a few magazines. You might want to pay a visit, she'd be thrilled.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Jane xBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-32697240569730157002017-05-16T04:07:22.147+01:002017-05-16T04:07:22.147+01:00Hexagons are rather addictive, but I find they tak...Hexagons are rather addictive, but I find they take a long time to get anywhere.

However, the current bee in my bonnet is urging me to make a sampler similar to my mom's sampler, that I showed you several posts ago. To that end, I primed my pump by reading what Alicia Paulson had to say about embroidery in one of her books, but I have been studying your directions in "Quick and Clever Cross Stitch"! I can not thank you enough for your clear directions and your inspiring examples, Helen. I started out by plotting the pattern on the graph paper in my traveler's art journal. Now I have copied off the graph paper you printed in your book and need to transfer the pattern to it. My sister measured mom's piece and I just measured the frame like hers that I bought. It is a bit smaller so I will need to adjust for that. My mom's piece is done on linen, but I have 14 count cotton Aida cloth I think I will use if my calculations deem that possible. I am so curious about my mom's choice of colored thread. She just used brown and blue...about 92 years ago! I know that available colors were different years ago, but I am keen on using a different color palette...not sure what yet :) xxxxxxxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-69443639818401589162017-05-15T21:24:01.518+01:002017-05-15T21:24:01.518+01:00Your bluebell quilt is looking beautiful Helen and...Your bluebell quilt is looking beautiful Helen and yes haven't the bluebells been glorious this year.
