Hexa go-go


hexa

I have a passion for paper piecing, hexagons for a long time.
Perhaps it’s because I seem to have more control in the sewing, and never had to unsewn anything I’ve done
It’s relaxing and it’s so enjoyable
And when I saw this book, the alert signal, was on!!
Finally I got it, and didn’t realize that the author was one of those four people that wrote this book.
It’s really really nice, I can see myself doing some and not the lot because of the time issue ,of those projects
I truly recommend it!!
Lately I have to say, I have been so lucky, either in the choice of fabric, and in the choice of books.
And yes, there’s one more on the horizon, but hasn’t come out yet Winking smile
Another great book, another great choice.
Have a great week x

And the collection keeps growing…

This book was done by 4 bloggers, two in the UK, one in Germany and one in the USA.
From the blogs I visit regularly, I only knew the last,I mentioned, the ‘Quilt Dad’ he’s such a talented guy
Well I’m sure the others are very talented too, I yet have to explore their blogs, one more thing in my’ to do’ list.
Just as well the British Summer…… how shall we say, summer probably this year is not the right word, it still has to show
But as I was saying this book is such a pleasure to read, great photos, great instructions, and thousands of ways to use the book, plus your imagination
I do love when I get a book that is much more than what you expected, and surely this one is amazing, and I well recommend it
Have a few plans already, yet,… more plans, awaiting for my fabrics to arrive, a quilter will understand me, because poor me, hasn’t got enough in her stash

Sunday Morning Quilts

First of all apologies to the authors, I should have written this post a few months ago
For a Lady that loves Patchwork, and specially scraps…..
This book, that I was waiting for a few months is just so so lovely. I was so excited!!
It has great ideas, and it is such an easy reading. A total pleasure
I follow Amanda’s blog in reader for a while now, Cheryl’s  blog I started to follow now
By the way, they both have a lovely giveaway now, so go there and if you win, always remember who told you lol
Easy reading, great projects
I’m in Patchwork only for three years.
And yes I am addicted!!
You know that.
So all I can say is, I love this book, and well well recommend it.
