Just sitting here this morning and reading all my favorite blogs and thinking how blessed I am to have such a lot of nice people who inspire me to be a better me but still just be me!!!!! Especially reading Jenny's blog at https://www.elefantz.com/ . Made me realize that for me all this lockdowns we are having is to make the world slow down a bit. I used to just go to the shops and walk around looking to what I feel like buying. Nowadays I just go when necessary.
Made me realize I for one don't need that much stuff to survive. I also, sadly though don't visit my favorite haberdashery shop, https://www.facebook.com/Holly-House-Port-Alfred-1670331229903352/ , as much as I used to but still go and buy stuff that I need. I need to thank her when there again as she keeps the shop fully stocked and ready for buying whatever I need. I have been buying stash and then not using it. My hands work more slowly than my stash buying and ideas in my brain of what I still want to make. But I am always thankful that I am able to use my hands to make some precious things for our home.
Still working on my hexi's and have made 20 so far. have a lot more to go as I am going to make it 250x250cm square and my bed. Also have to add some embroidery in the center using my whole set of house of embroidery threads. https://www.houseofembroidery.com/ these are just great and the colors are so pretty when embroidered.
I am using the idea for the hexi's that I saw on Emma Jones's website. https://campsite.bio/vintagesewingbox She is the inspiration for me using epp hexagons again.
Now lets see if me using the links to places I like works.
I need to give give thanks to the people who help me enjoy making my latest quilt the recognition they deserve
