Did you know?

that there are more than one way to put Hexagons together...I didn't but I do now!
(Can you see your fabric ?)

Do you see the four groups of seven on the left, well they slot in together fine, the the one on the right does not fit. I hadn't realised that if I just did them as I was doing they wouldn't fit. That means I have to think about where I attach them together and it looks like I have some undoing to do!
It'll have to wait, I have hurt my finger with the needle repeatedly stabbing me, and I can't find my thimble.

Also I am annoyed as I was recording on my blog the photos of the fabric I was sent, and who sent it. Well looks like my photos are disappearing!!!! So I cannot remember exactly who sent what!!!!

I have had an idea, here are some of the photos if you can see the fabric you sent me, would you comment on here or on the photo to let me know. http://community.webshots.com/album/580245847yOxPxW

Thank you in advance

Crafty Weekend

Well it was a foggy start to the weekend, especially as I was travelling to Melton Mowbray for the Scout Hut Crafters weekend.
Saturday was a quiet day as many had previous engagements. Well I say quiet, it did get a little rowdy when some ladies were nearly wetting themselves with laughter!

See the man in the background, well they were being rude concerning his drill!

I got this JBW design done, woo hoo I stitched!!
It is a gift for someone, I shouldn't show it but they won't know until they receive it!


***
Sunday was a bit busier

***
I have started to put together my Hexagons, this is my first group of seven!

***
We did a friendship exchange and this is what I received from sue, A gorgeous beaded fob on scissors and some fabrics for my friendship quilt! 

This is what I stitched for Sandra, Amitie Broderie Couture.
And made into a Bits n Bobs tray, there were some more goodies but I forgot to take a pic!

***
Polly gave me another bit of fabric for it the Friendship quilt 

And Lyn gave me three to choose from and I had to chose the cats now didn't I! 
I have also had some from Maddison, I forgot to take a pic.
