Scrappy Saturday Sewing ~ Folded Hexagons from Life in the Scrapatch

A Little Scrappy Saturday Stitching

With my sewing machine tucked out of the home project way, 

I have been crocheting, but missing the feel of the fabric.

Today I decided to pull open this small hand sewing project box 

and do a little hand stitching.

These folded hexagon flowers are destined for an old WIP:

My Kingfisher Quilt ~ UFO

This is what it looked like the last time it was out of my project box. 

I have long admired the colorful quilts that I have seen in the

My Local Quilt Shop ~ Fabric Love from Life in the Scrapatch

Bits n Pieces Quilt Shop in Pelham, NH

This will be ongoing and it will pop up in my posts regularly.

Welcome to Stitch Sew and Show ~ Week 16

I have bits and pieces of this collection and maybe enough of this large print yardage for the backing on my quilt.  I am now wishing I had bought more whe I saw it as I am really loving the colors and ...

Friday Fabric Play Day from Life in the Scrapatch

 

Here in my progress on my version of the

Kingfisher Quilt @ Stitched in Color 

I have been enjoying the eye candy in the 

#kingfisherquilt

on Instagram and had this on my list for a long time.

I have had a stack of these  Hexagon Flowers in my sewing stash 

for a very, very long time ... since 2009.


I started this plan Here

These folded hexagon flowers are not EPP.

They were made from this tutorial:
