Blues for January Week 2--1/11/14

There hasn't been much progress on most of my quilting projects this week because machine stitching time has been in short supply. We have been putting in long hours at work and even have to go in today (Saturday.)

 However, I have managed to move ahead on my blue hexies. I got them all basted last Monday night during the BCS Championship Game, a real nail-biter won in the last minute or so by my husband's beloved Florida State Seminoles. Yeah, Noles!! I've started joining the hexies together into columns for a star and will have plenty left for a couple of snowflakes.



Check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts every Saturday to see how others are using up their scraps. So many beautiful projects! I am also linking up to the Hexie Weekend at A Quilting Reader's Garden and to the In Hand EPP Party at splish splash stash. EPP inspiration all over the place! On Sunday I will link up for Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.

    Glad you found a few minutes to stitch. Working on Saturday doesn't sound like much fun at all. Your hexes are coming along well though, every little bit adds up in the end.

    I admire your patience, hexes are a lot of hand stitching!
