TONYA made my day!

A sunday at Dominique, do you remember her sewingroom,


This is the serial knitter's fancy sewing case!
She is a serial crocheter at the moment, Quilting's a bit abandoned !



Anne Marie is quilting her copy of an english quilt you can see at the VandA until the end of June,
and also explained in Kaffe Fassett's MUSEUM QUILTS.
I'm tempted to make one with fabrics from Den Haan En Wagenmakers.



Back to the hexies.
I made quite some progress, and i work on this quilt every day for a few hours at the moment.

















Did i talk about the size of a flower?
Maybe the best way to show is showing it on my hand.........







Last sunday and monday too the Champs Elysées were closed for traffic, an incredible experience!
Weird to HEAR people talk and walk where normally have traffic make the noise nearly unbearable!
There were plants to see, and vegetables, and fruits and seeds and trees, even cows.
We were there early in the morning, but half an hour after the opening the heat was on and the crowd very very dense,
People moved slowly and everyone appriciated the silence....






















































Look what i found in my mailbox this morning:
Tonya, LAZY GAL, spoiled me with fabric and GWEN MARSTON's Abstract quilts in solids, AND fabrics!
Most of them will be used straight away for the hexies.
Thank you Ton!
I adore and take care in Florida!

It was certainly the weather for it! Hasn't it been glorious?

What a lovely lovely present from Tonya! I did ask her if here ears were burning the other week.

Can you let me have your address so I can send those hex's to you, or would you like to see a photo first?

Love the sewing case, so cute and Anne Marie's quilt is lovely, nice and bright. Great gift from Tonya and I love all your wonderful hexagon flowers. So tiny!

I'm glad the package got there safely! It's rather embarrassing just how long it took me to mail...
