Good morning All
Hope today goes as well as yesterday with potty training. After the gym, I'm gonna be cleaning like mad. I'm having a bunch of ladies over for a craft night and movie watching. Hope we can watch "The Spitfire Grill". I love this movie and the girls hadn't heard of it. Have you?
On my way back from taking the kids to my inlaws, I stopped at this wonderful shop in Kamloops, BC. Katjas Quilt Shoppe There was another customer talking with the owner about English Paper Piecing. So of course, I had to listen and join in the conversation. LOL The owner has designed and set up a Block of the Week for EPP Hexies. She will mail the blocks anywhere. I joined!
I also stopped at another quilting store in Chiliwack, BC called Hamels Fabric & Quilting on my way home. I spent a lot of money in this store. I was really drawn to a Fat Quarter Stack but had no idea what to do make with it.
I was pulling fabrics to start the hexies and then I remembered the FQ stack I purchased. I think it will make a great quilt.
My quilt guild was on Monday night and I was able to prepare the fabrics for Week 1 of the hexies. During the meeting, I basted all the shapes and put 2.5 of the middle hexies together. On Wednesday night while watching Big Brother, I finished the hexie.
I'm quite excited for this quilt. I know it will take me a while but perfect for watching TV, my guild meetings and the Craft nights.
Have a Creative Day.

I fussy cut the fabrics so the
monkeys were beside the numbers.
