Hello,
Yes it is time to drink Champagne and dance on the table. I have been sewing.
I have joined up more of the hexagons for my long term project, called
A Country Garden. Lots more to do on this.
I had this flour bag in the sewing room stuffed full of off cuts from binding, scraps and even a stitchery or two.
Last week I set to and pulled out the fabric and ironed it and started cutting up pieces into 2.5 inch squares, half square 2 inch finished triangles and 4.5 inch squares.
Something to work on in between projects. I have no idea what I will make but the idea is to use up all this fabric in scrappy projects. I wonder how many "Flour bag projects I will get done?"
Happy days.

Gotta love hexies!!!!
Very pretty hexy's there Bev, great progress on that big project...
No champers for me at the moment, I have a rotten cold!
The scrap projects will be interesting, can't wait to see how they come along.
Good to see you have not been blown away yet!
Hi Bev ... sorry I missed your last post so just playing catchup :-)
Your hexies are beautiful, theres something timeless about hexies. Your scrap projects look most interesting and as for that flour sack ... that would make a gorgeous dollies apron!!!!! Happy champagne drinking to you - hugs, julie x0x
It fun going through some old scraps from prior projects. A good way of using them up. I have a small bag of yo-yo's. Maybe one day I will attach them together.
For the past few days, we have had some nice cooler weather. Nice to have to windows opened up for a change.
Have a lovely day.
I hope you get enough scraps put together for a useful sized quilt. Those hexagons are so pretty.
Love the way your hexies are growing..
Oh I am sure you will make a lovely project from your scraps .. Have fun
Great work using your scrappies - the hexes are looking good :-)
The hexagons are looking wonderful. So great to see them growing.
Hello Bev, I do love your hexagon project - just my colours! It is going to be wonderful and your scrappy project sounds good. I have a couple of boxes of scraps cut into different size squares that I can dip into when I need a quick project. xx
Love your hexies!!! And great to get all those scraps cut and ready to sew! xxx
All your hexies look great. You are so good using your scraps. It won't take long to create a new project from them.

Your hexagons are so pretty! And it's always great to use up scraps! :0)
Champagne! Bunk up... I'm on my way. Don't drink it all before I get there :o) Your hexies are gorgeous.. so is the project they're part of. Good idea to tackle those scraps... I've a plan to sew up all the old stash I'm fed up looking at in just the same way.... great minds think alike! :o)
I feel like champagne Bev too after the stress of the last couple of days...might even dance on the table too If I can get up there with my knee!). I have a couple of small flour bags but they are empty! I think I will have to cut up my scraps too into pieces! Isn't Fiona a crack up LOL!
Hello Bev, I absolutely adore your Country Garden hexie quilt. The colours are delightful & look exactly that..summer borders crammed full of colour-full, fragrant blooms. I look forward to seeing it's eventual completion. Much love Catherine x0x0x
