Happy Handwork

Image
For my birthday, I received two moda honeycomb stacks.  I took them on as my handwork project.  I can't sit doing nothing very well.  So if we watch a movie as a family or go on a car trip I take along some handwork.  The last one was my farmer's wife quilt blocks, they are all done and now need sewn together. I laid out all of the hexagons, but decided they needed just a bit more of something to pull them together.  I picked green!  I found a picture of these hexagon pillows and decided to try that for the design using green in between the hexagons. I have hand sew all of the hexagons into rows and now just need a few more end triangles and to join the rows.  I thought hand piecing would take forever, but it really goes along quite quickly after a bit.  I did find that it makes my points MUCH more accurate than if I were racing along on my treadle or electric machine :) Alissa
