hexies here and there...

this afternoon I thought it would be lovely to spend a little time in the sewing room.
But......what to do?
I am procrastinating on a few things while trying hard not to start anything new.
So, I thought i'd have a play around with a the selvage strip that I cut from the border fabric for Okehampton.  The piece was about 2 1/2 inches wide so there was room to try out some fussy cutting.
Some other fabrics made their way to the production line too....
Playing with the designs in the fabric is such fun.
The bottom four are all from the same strip of fabric. I love the different ways to highlight the pattern.

On Saturday I visited Tranquility patchwork in Moonee Ponds, an amazing shop full to the brim, I'd even say overflowing, with beautiful fabrics and patchwork accessories.
It's not for the faint hearted or for those with little time to spend as there are so many fabrics to tempt you and a little work is required to uncover a treasure.
I went for a specific fabric but couldn't find it so settled on these three beautiful greens which will be perfect for leaves and binding stems for a future project.
The middle and one on the right featured in my Caswell quilt quite frequently and I have only scraps left. Just love them!

only nine more working days to go till term holidays!!
cant wait...
have a great week
