Two little swap hexie flowers this week, as part of lovely Jane's Inchy Hexie Flower Swap. I love being part of this group. My swap partner asked for 30's style fabrics so I hope these will fit in with her garden.
Every week lovely Karen at Journey of a Quilter gives us the chance to share our flowers as part of One Flower Wednesday. Thanks so much Karen.
FABULOUS FREE STUFF
A few people have asked about the little wall hanging on display behind my old Singer in yesterday's Tuesday Treasure picture. I bought it as a kit about 15 years ago on a holiday in Victoria's western district. I think it was from a patchwork shop in the old court house in Camperdown.
Unfortunately I can't recall the pattern's name or the designer. The kit was fabulous as it came with a set of 9 little charms.
Each little vest has an inside pocket and each contains a different charm including a key, a money bag, a mirror, a pair of glasses, a teddybear, a heart and a watch.
I've spent a bit of time searching for the pattern, to no avail. I may even have given it away years ago.
pretty hexies... love the wallhanging... very cute..

ReplyDeleteI saw that little waistcoat quilt in your previous post and recognised it because I bought the pattern at the Craft Show a couple of years ago. Mine came with little wire coathangers. I have collected the materials but not sure when I will get around to making it. It's very cute!
