Slow Stitching--not just on Sunday

Millefiore is almost finished!!

I needed a new project.

And then the clouds parted and the sun came shing through and

Mickey Depre of MD Quilts and Pieced Hexi fame

shared her 2016 On The Road Project.

(Just click the tab at the top of her blog page.)

As soon as I saw this, 

I knew it would be my next hexi project.

Thanks Mickey!

It started out very innocent.

I was just going to make up a few kits to have ready to go once Mille was finished.

Then I lost all control because

it got hot! 

Stinking hot! 

Can't breath outside, it's so HOT!

I am a whimp!!!

When I wasn't watching The Olympics in the living room

and basting red flower centers,

I was in the sewing room piecing neutral crumbs into squares to make Crackle hexies.

And piecing the yellows and oranges for the hexi flower block kits.

Kits, these were just for kits!

I was only going to baste the centers.

As you can see, I lost all control!

It was too hot to work on Millefiore's last 2 sides of fill in blocks.

So I stitched hexi flowers.

Just to see what they look like.

Good thing I had some kits made up.

snicker, snicker

I'm excited to see what everyone else is sharing at Kathy's Quilts:Slow Sunday Stitching.
