This is the past week’s progress on Insanity. These little hexagon diamonds are quick as can be to put together, just under an hour for each one. I’ve been working in a reporter’s office as a registrar a few days the past week or so, and I take one of these with me to stitch on during the lunch break — great way to spend the lunch break.
I still have about 100 charms to print but that will be done by the end of this week. I can usually get about 50 or 60 of them printed in no time.
Last night was my first meeting of the quilt guild. It was a bit overwhelming — huge, huge guild with 465 members! Thankfully, I finally met Samadhi, to whom I am very grateful for her encouragement to join the guild. There was a great trunk show by Sherri Hisey — absolutely gorgeous selection of quilts including some fabulous barn finds!
I love this shot of Lester — he looks quite lost in thought. It was probably just before he pounced on a toy!

I love that shot of Lester too! And of course, your insanity hexagons! Wonderful! They are progressing nicely. I wonder how much insanity is involved though. They are a great way to stay sane, especially at lunchtime – in my opinion anyways.

I recently bought to hex Japanese quilting books. They are so lovely. I thought of you (and smudge and lester) and how pretty yours are. I’ll have to blog about my books sometime. They really are so nice. Your work has inspired me.

Your cats are amazingly photographic :)Where did you get the book on hexagons? And lastly, are those hexagon diamonds for that Australian Quilt magazine quilt a few months back? I have to find that link again.
