On the Go

I forgot to post my Sewing on the Go kit last week for Monday Morning's count, so here it is...my little Ginghers on a lanyard from my friend Eri, and a pincushion also by Eri, my favorite Aurifil thread, paper clips stuck to a magnet, papers, fabric, and my specs.

And it all fits in this little See-thru cosmetic bag that slips neatly into my handbag.  I am good to go!

Two Down and ??? To Go

Finished my second strip this week, and I am really getting anxious to do more.  Seldom plan my quilts in advance,  because they usually morph into something else.  But in the spirit of Monday Morning Star Count at Jessica's blog, I have come up with some tentative numbers for goal.  If I make the quilt 45"x 65", I will need 7 strips of 18 hexies and 6 strips of 17 hexies for a total of 13 strips and 228 hexies.  I have completed 2 strips of 35 hexies, so I have 11 strips of 193 hexies to go.  Whew!  I HATE MATH!

I would much rather be sewing all these little lovelies down.  Can hardly wait to see where M. Piggy will land...

Committed At Last!

Yay!  I made a decision...always takes a while for me to figure out direction I want to go in.  The hexies are going on strips, keeping this a very portable project for Sewing On the Go.  Which reminds me...Jessica's book signing program was a huge success!  I was so glad to see so many of us catching her spirit.  I love her easy basting method and am converted forever now.  I am not joining my hexies,  however, but rather appliqueing them individually.  Thought my blues were just to dark together and needed a lot of white to set them off.  So I'm off and running here...

Bevy of Hexies

This yo-yo quilt caught my eye and may be just the layout I want for my Indigo hexies.  Article reads "For an on-the-go project, stitch a bevy of yo-yos and secure them to strips..."

Question:  How many hexies in a bevy?  So far I have 125.
