It's been hot and humid here. I guess summer has finally arrived. I've been working on a few quilt tops that may turn out to be gifts so I can't post them yet. Due to the heat, I've been working on smaller, somewhat cooler, projects! This is my latest hexagon. I love working with stripes! I thought it gave the hexie quite a bit of movement!
I also started another shawl. I have no idea why! I just love making them! I'm using a book that uses sock yarn to make all the shawls. I have plenty of sock yarn! This shawl won't be terribly large so it shouldn't make me any hotter in this weather.
Here's the book, if anyone is interested. There are some really beautiful shawls in this book.
Still trying to figure out how to continue machine quilting my Blogger's BOM. I should practice the ideas I have but I decided to sew the quilt tops instead. There's only so much time! Hope everyone keeps cool!
Rosemary your hexies are so darn cute I love your fabric, fantastic job...
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sally! They're always fun to make!
DeleteThose stripes really do make a great hexagon!
ReplyDeleteI love the lacey pattern in your shawl. You'll never have cold shoulders again. :-)
Thanks! Does that yarn look familiar? I bought it on a field trip back in May with some friends!!
DeleteLove your shawl pattern--it looks like falling leaves...the hexagon is really pretty..Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Julierose! They're both nice projects I can work on while sitting on the couch, trying to keep cool!
Deletelike the way you have used the stripes x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Diane!
DeleteThat's a cute little hexie! It puts a smile to my face. :) Love the pattern for the shawl, very beautiful. I'm still stuck with the Blogger's BOM quilt too, can't decide how to quilt it.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying feathers in the set in triangles around the pieced blocks. Notice the word, trying! I love making sampler quilts but do not like quilting them! Too many decisions!
DeleteHexies are great...I am working on them too. It has been hot and miserable here as well. Love your hexie and the shawl.
ReplyDeleteIt's cool and raining today but still have high humidity. It's easier to take than that heat! It's so nice to work on smaller things when the heat gets unbearable!
