The cooler weather seems to be here for sure. We even had to turn the heat on today! 😦 Turning the heat on is always the beginning of the winter lament for me — that dark tunnel we go into until just after Christmas when, thankfully, each day gets a tiny bit longer.
Nothing much quilty, other than I started putting together the hexagons from the last Inklingo swap. I debated making traditional GFG’s with them but decided to do a quilt like this:
The picture is from this book. So far I have 4 strips of 30 or 31 hexagons done. They go together amazingly fast. I go through this book over and over and want to make almost everything in it so I suppose this is a start. The goal is to get a really quick lap quilt done with these. I think I can get the strips done within 10 days and then another 10 or 15 days to put them all together. However, I’m sure I’ll be missing the little hexagons and will be back to working on Insanity later this week.
Lester, looking so contemplative — until he did something goofy. 🙂


Well that is one of my books! But I’m still going to show pictures of it later this week. You have really been inspiring for me Cathi. I appreciate it so much. I love learning new things. And I want to learn this.

I like the idea of using the nexagons as a strip quilt. That would never have occured to me. Love and hugs gina xxx

OMG! Our furnace went on last night too! Think I will have to work on some little hexagons as the weather cools.

Gosh – turning on the heater. This turns into a ‘thing’ at our house every year. Of course, we live in a mild climate making the heater only necessary to take of the chill in the morning or evening. Still, I like to hold out as long as possible – Hubby doesn’t want a moment’s discomfort *s* I’d better start thinking of a date to shoot for, then add a couple of weeks and let the fun begin *s*

Hexagons would be lovely in the cooler weather. We are still getting some cool weather here, but soon it will be full-on heat!
