We were off on a quick road trip yesterday to move our youngest daughter home from college and I was able to get an entire hexi flower sewn. Felt soooo good to be hand sewing again. This will be part of my Hexagon Memory Quilt.
I plan to pre-cut a few more flowers to have on hand for some more relaxing summer sewing. Off to link up with other slow stitchers at Kathy's Sunday Linky.
With smiles!

What a great photo.. that sums it up! I do so much stitching in the car on road trips!
ReplyDeleteFun to see your hexie on the road :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous little flower! I can baste in the car on road trips, but piecing the hexies together requires enough focus/concentration that I find myself getting car sick. Are you going to save the papers with the little notes/memories on them?
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet hexi and view! Bet it is nice to have her back!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to pass time on the road. Most people don't look forward to long car trips, but being able to get so much accomplished makes it more fun.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteI went back and read about your Hexagon Memory quilt. This is just the neatest idea I have read about in a while! This quilt is going to be so special!! I think I like the scrappy idea too.
ReplyDeleteI think scrappy too, especially as I really don't want to make the plain trail.:)
DeleteI am so jealous you can do things in your car. I can't because it make me violently ill :( I am also jealous because your daughter is already off at college! We have two more years to go, I hope we can all survive! We are now dealing with buying her first car. Moody teenagers are not fun!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have some hand work prepped and ready to go. Great job on the block and love the idea for your memory quilt.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great photo! Have a great summer with your daughter home for the summer.
ReplyDeleteI read your post about your hexi memory quilt, what a great idea. Your daughter is home, it is summer, let the fun begin!
ReplyDeleteDaughter broke her ankle...so most the summer will be pretty quiet. But that's okay....atleast I'll have good company while I sew. We're thinking of making it the summer we watch all the old disney movies!
DeleteThat sounds fun!
DeleteAs others have mentioned, I don't know how you do this without getting car sick, but it must be a great way to pss the time, and you get something really cool at the end of it!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a hexie memory quilt! Thanks for linking up!
