My hexagon paper
As I mentioned before I got my hexy papers , so here is one flower down, and 23 more to go ..I decided to make 24 flowers and applique each one onto a foundation 12 inch block, maybe sash , we will see the outcome first. I will do rows of 4 across by 6 long, with sashing and borders..The fabric is Friendship for a Cause and I hope I can find some matching yardage ???
Whats for dinner at your house ???
Yummy good ole Hormel Chilli for us :) Of course I add my own touch, some corn some tomatoes etc. top it with sour cream and no one knows Hormel made it except you and me :) Oh yes, and don't forget shredded cheddar and crackers..It is one of those meals that starts to remind me of Fall..Plus I watched Grumpy Old Men the other day and saw what they gave that poor one eye bull doggy for dinner ..LOL
What a beautiful mess LOL!!
I went over to Rose Valley blog to read her post on her messy cutting , but I think it is so beautiful..http://myrosevalley.blogspot.com/

Yay ! I got my paper pieces
I looked outside and there was the package I was waiting for in order to continue my hand sewing !! My hubby asked me what would I do if there were no Paperpieces inc. I said Id have to cut up magazines or news papers and make sure (you) cut them accurately !! LOL ...OH what fun . I am really enjoying this . I have 4 charm packs of this fabric and enough papers to make all of them..

Re thinking my quilting ability and style
For someone who has been quilting since 1984 , one would think they have a style or a particular way of doing things , maybe even an inclination towards a certain kind or type of quilt or color of fabric . However , I dont...The more I think about it I have been all over the place with quilting, taken classes from applique to folksy to fast piecing to whatever is new at the time.Do I like modern , or traditional., folk art or prim???
My mind keeps reverting to wanting to do my own thing , whatever that is. I have noticed I have done everybody's class , everybody's colors , and everybody's ways but my own...GOOD GRIEF !!!It's always how some one else taught me to do this.. So I have decided to figure this out , my way !!!Finally ..with out appology or excuses...
