Sending some HEXIE LOVE!!

Yesterday I had a Mother’s Day gift arrive a wee bit early…Mother’s Day is on Sunday…but hey…EARLY is good!!  Did I leave it unopened till Sunday?  Heck NO!  I ripped into that package with gusto!

Quilting Daughter (aka…Basting Beauty) has been up to her old tricks…creating something functional, quilty and dang SWEET!

Check it out!  Yup…it’s Hexies at their cutest…

It’s a hexagon CLOCK!!

I could tell from the colours in the clock that Erin made it for the sewing room but it was just TOO cute to go in there…so I auditioned it in the kitchen first…

I changed the plate to more appropriate colours…to match the clock…

But it was crying for my sewing room!  And I think I have the PERFECT spot…

Right beside my PLAY sign….

Have you noticed that the shape of the clock has changed three times?  Erin said the joy of this clock is that you can change the hexies and make the clock any shape you want it to be…on the back they snap together like puzzle pieces!IMG_1093

SEW how did Basting Beauty make it??  Well you are going to have to READ all about it over at her blog!!  I’m sure that she is dying to tell you…but it probably won’t be until next week…but trust me it will be worth the wait!

So THANK YOU Basting Beauty…this mama LOVES her new clock!! And  I think the new clock is thrilled with it’s new home!! 

I tell ya’ there’s nothing like a little Hexie Love!!xx  Looks like I have TIME to PLAY!!

Have a FUN Friday and happy stitching!~P

  5. Now that is something new in the mix. Never would have thought of turning hexies into a clock. Did your daughter show an interest in sewing when she was younger? Mine never did.
