Fish

OK, so not the kind you can eat but Inklingo-able ones lol.  After I bought the Inklingo CD 1 and 2 I played around with some of the shapes to add to my Hexagon Layout collection.  The CD gave half hexagons, thirds and quarters so I had lots to play with.  So far I have at least 10 new layouts, however I can't figure out how to draw them in Electric Quilt so can't make a nice slide show like I did before.  My plan is to make a 20 inch block of each layout, they will either be made into cushions or a quilt.  Whichever way they end up being used I can see me doing sashing and using a quilt as you go method.

Here's me playing around with paper shapes to see what I came up with.



Here's is one lonely fish.



And here he is with some of his mates.



Each little fish doesn't take too long to make and is so easy using Inklingo for matching the corners up (I'm quite bad at corner matching normally).

Have Fun!

Hexagons

This is a test.

Hexagons

Current Work In Progress (WIP's)

Right, thought I would share what I am currently working on.  I started as a patchworker and used to have many quilt tops in progress at any one time.  Then along came the Wench, she is 2 now by the way, and that meant I never had the time I used to have.  I then took up crochet whilst pregnant but never quite seemed to get much done.

As a result of this I am trying to limit my self to 2 or 3 projects at a time.  Mainly as I have a tendency to get bored easy and switching from one project to another keeps this from happening.  However I can end up starting too many at once so lets see how long i can keep it up eh? LoL

Ah, also this isn't all the things I have on the go as there are a few quilts in progress that I am not working on at the moment, this is just my active projects.

This is my hexagon quilt, hand pieced.  I've been making lots of the smaller motifs from a large collection of 2.5 inch strips i had cut and am slowly getting them sewn together into this.  My plan is to have it about the size of a single duvet.....ish.  when i get around to buying a printer I will be buying some stuff from Linda Franz and getting some Inklingo stuff......go check it out!  I so wish I had this when I started this quilt, oh well.

This is just your bog standard granny squares, in a Trip Around the World pattern.  this also should end up the size of a single duvet,  hopefully.  This one is for the Wench for when she gets her big girls bed, which i hope will be ages yet as she still hasn't attempted to climb out of her cot.  I'm joining these as I go using this method from Attic24.

And lastly this is a shawl intended for my mum's next door neighbour from Crochetville called Angel Wings.  she keeps giving me things for the Wench even though I only recently met her.  My mum tells me that she reads in her bed on an evening especially in winter to save on heating bills.

That's all for today :)

Have Fun
