Many, many years ago in a little far away country lived a girl who oftenly went to movie with her daddy to watch movies about wild, wild west. In these movies she saw wonderful bed blankets made from many colorful small pieces of fabrics. And of course, she wanted to have one, but in her far, far away country no one knows how to make it. Then, some decades later clever men invented internet and our little girl (being granny in meantime) finally learned how to make a quilt. From many scraps , in all the wonderful colours in the world.

HEXIES, HEXIES AND MORE HEXIES


First I made  these two little flowers for my blue garden



These three are going to be planted in my friendship flower garden

These are beauties I've received from my friends in Inchy hexagon flower swap group which I've joined in July

Finally I found some orphan hexies and made a cover ( pyjama) for my faithful Heidi, that's the name I gave to my sewing machine  which is from Switzerland

Stay tuned, tomorrow I'm going to show you some more wonderful pictures

MUG RUGS

I have two questions for you:
1. Do you love swaps?
2.Do you love mug rugs?

If is you answer "YES" , then this is a post for you.
Oh, yes I adore swaps and this little masterpieces called mug rug.
I love to make big quilts, some of them were really huge, but making this cute little things are kind of relaxation for me.And here is a result of getting these two words together:

TWO WONDERFUL MUG RUGS RECEIVED IN SWAP

First one is made by Anneliese from Ireland


and the second one came from Ireland too, but from the Northern part. It was Karen who made it for.me.

They even match together, don't they. And both girls made a wonderful needle cases for me because it was a  "goodie" swap (organized by Susan from Fluffy Sheep Quilting )



And finally here are mug rugs I've made and sent to my new friends  Benta

and Janet

As a goodie, I made a journal cover for each

HEXIE NEWS

My dear hexies got a new home;  I bought them this lovely wooden box with glass cover and 18 departments.
It looks a little dull now, but I'm going to give it some colour (pink perheps?) and maybe few flowers? How about some hexie flowers in corners? No, I would not keep anything else in this box except hexies, I think I would never stop making them. After this one (Friendship flowers quilt) with white background, I have plans for one with dark background, the one with blue flowers I've already started, then I have my Inchy club hexies...
Yes, my name is Simona and I'm addicted, hexie  addicted


Hexie post without hexies? Here they are: our "Mum" Karen sent me some more scraps  and upper flower is made  from  them. Two lower are combos from all over , including some from my stash.


Wish you all a  nice hexie day !

In my last post, three weeks ago I've asked for help because my 2,5 " square stash was running low. Some of you  were very  kind and offered me their precious scraps.

HELP NEEDED

Last year I've seen quilt like this somewhere in Blogland and that same moment I've decided to make one for me.I thought it would be wonderful way to get rid from a lot of scraps I had. As you could see, I was very busy growing my garden which is now about half of planned size ( 65" x 85"). So far I've used about 500 diferent scraps for petals and soon I'll be at the end with my scraps. And now I need your help; would you please send your scraps (2,5" x 2,5") and I'm going to send you mine in return. Some kind of a swap.If you could help me, please contact me on e-mail address:krpeizakrpe@yahoo.com
Thanks
