Little little hexagons....

I've been carrying around a little bit of hand sewing.... loving these little hexagons...
I've finished two diamond segments... And started another one.... I just realised why I'd put them aside for a while (there is always a reason isn't there??)... and it's because I needed another ice cream container lid to make a hexagon template... mine was getting worn out...

I'm not entirely happy with these photos... they were taken on my phone.. but I'm blogging on a laptop now, and it's better to blog on the run than not at all.....

Pokey Puppy on the go

Thank goodness for sewing gatherings or I wouldn't get anything sewn!!
I actually worked hard at a sewing night with Fiona and Debbie, and I've made about one third of the Pokey Puppy quilt top. I need to finish it quite soon. It's for a baby due in April. I've made its twin the Saggy Baggy Elephant Quilt, which is already finished.
I've just realised I haven't posted a finished pic of the Saggy Baggy Helephump!! I asked Mum to quilt it with large monsteria leaves - I think it gives a perfect jungle feel...
The quilts are both gender neutral - I don't know yet if they are boys or girls...
I think it's past time to share these photos...
I've put the inside cover printed square on the back as the quit label.....
I hope I can get some of the Pokey Puppy sewn before the next group session...
