The 15 Minute Challenge

This week I have been keeping up my end and managing to do a little bit each day.

Wednesday - Hexies
Thursday - Hexies
Friday - Cross Stitch
Saturday - Hexies
Sunday - Hexies
Monday - Hexies
Tuesday - Hexies and some crochet

The Hexies are part of the This Goes with That BOM.  I am getting fabric and papers from Hetties and just Fabric from Quilt Fabric Delights and am mixing the two together.  I decided it was time to start joining the hexagons together because as I was joining them with triangles surely 20 hexagons was enough for a small quilt..... NO.  Looks like I need about 100 for a 1m x 1m quilt so I will be stitching for quite some time, it will also mean that I will be putting in quite a few plain hexagons instead of the 4 of 5 that I initially had planned.  Think this will be one of those long term projects lol.  So hexagons will come up regularly over the next few months, not that I am going to be able to do them solidly for too long.

I haven't crocheted since I was kid and I never have followed a pattern, I went to She Sews Sunday the other week at Hetties and the project was a crochet project, I bought a book that caught my eye and it is full of motifs.  I liked this one and set out making it.  I sat down this evening and finished it.  The problem is that english/american patterns call the stitches different things, once Lorraine had explained what the difference was I was fine.  It had a picot stitch which I had never done before but there are plenty of video's on You Tube that show you want to do so mastered that and away I went.  Don't ask me what I am going to do with it because I haven't a clue, maybe I'll get some more wool and make a rug or something.


Head on over to Kate's to see who has met the challenge this week.
