51 - 100 of 100 Hexies 100 days

I sit here in the caravan listening to the gentle patter of rain - constant rain, and find I have time to do some blog posts, Messy House one first and then 'fingers crossed', a travel - Are We There Yet one.

I have finished all the 100 hexies in 100 days, some weeks ago, just been enjoying the adventure we are on. 50 - 56 were I spy blocks, pretty easy, even with my limited travelling stash.

57-63 (I miss labelled photo) was big and small, and let's face it that it all relative 😀 Big Eiffel Tower and Whale (even though the whale is the tiniest one there - and we haven't seen one whale this whale season)

64 - 70, hearts. Four hearts were from one FQ and three were scraps from my tags box. Lucky.

71 - 77 was fairy tales. Being a teacher I love fairy tales. There are always owls in fairy tale illustrations, as are strange animals doing human things.... and lets not forget the fairy.

78 - 84 was animals. The sheep was from a FQ I purchased at Dubbo in 2018, and it still comes in handy every now and then. The centre bee isfrom new fabric I bought at the beginning of this trip, and the farm fabric I packed, thinking (or hoping) it would come in handy.

85 - 91 is all about seasons.

92 - 100 Sweet, well honey is sweet and bees make honey, and honey can make sweets.

Yay, all 100 complete.

Busy week

This week I decided to add another border to the Simply Colourful Brown Bag Mystery quilt. I had run out of some of the suggested fabric, so substituted a pink, that had already been used in the quilt and a teal fabric. Looks so good!

And Sew Foxy Mama's 100 Hexies in 100 days. We are up to week 11, and the theme is "I Spy" - guess I may be doing some fussy cutting - like I haven't already 😊.
Week 4 - wishes

 

Week 5 - big and small

 

Week 6 spots and strips - but I chose spots, as that was the fabric I had.

 Week 7 - floral

 Week 8 - travel - gee I wish I had chosen travel places, maybe I still will?

 Week 9 was woodland and last week, week 10 (below) was in the sky.

I have completed week 9, but neglected to take a photo.

 I also finished the new Simply Colourful Mystery by Colour Wheel Quilts, Scrappy Square Dance top. I decided to make two lap quilts (baby quilts). One is for my new granddaughter, due in February, so I still have a few months to quilt and bind it.

 Also on the go is the continuing Moda Blockheads. 

I'm still behind, but getting there - and there is no rush.

 

Under my needle...

I've made a lot of progress with the Brown Bag Mystery the past few weeks while at home. Then we were able to go on another short two week trip to the central coast of NSW for my Auntie's 80th, so I started another challenge -100 hexies in 100 days, created by Sew Foxy Mama. I know, so many projects on the go, but I needed something simple that I could easily pick up and sew, a few stitches at a time.

With the hexies, each week is a different theme, so that took a stop at two LQS's and Spotlight to find some of the fabric to suit the themes. Luckily I found some scrap bags and was able to make some of the hexies needed.

Now we are home again I'm back to the Brown Bag Mystery and also the new mystery quilt by Colour Wheel Quilts - Scrappy Square Dance - sponsored by Simply Colorful. All caught up and waiting for Friday's new clue.

 Now back to brown bag mystery....
