Dinosaurs

Last weekend I put the One Bizillion Years BC quilt top together - it was very quick and easy using a panel I cut up.


The top turned out bigger than I'd originally planned so I'm just waiting on some more backing fabric to arrive then I can think about quilting this one.  This afternoon I'm going to sew up a pillow case using one of the leftover dinosaur panel pieces.

Now that I'm working again I have lunchbreaks so I've been handstitching.  The second hexagon bag outer layer is finished.  This one is all Fig Tree fabrics - they are all repeated 3 and four times (I don't have 260+ Fig Tree fabrics).  Last night I prepared a third lot of hexagons for another bag.


This one is black and white with a little touch of grey and red.  The girls in my stitching group gave me a good selection of black and white scraps to add to my own.  About time I tried making up one of these bags I suppose ... maybe tomorrow.

Spoke to the travellers last night as it was Elizabeth's birthday yesterday.  They are having the most wonderful time and have booked a little side trip to Rome for a couple of days next week.

Hi Lynda! Your hexies are looking great. I'm wondering how you're going to make the bag up. I have this pattern, and it seems you're going to change the construction a little, having joined the panels and the base pieces? You're way ahead of me with your hexies, but hopefully I'll catch you up in the school hols :) Blaze the trail Lynda, I'll follow in your expert footsteps :) Ros x
