While I Was Away...

... I told you I had packed some epp for me to get on with. I asked you all to guess how much I would get done. Do you realise how unrealistic some of you are?! It's me we're talking about, after all. The world's best procrastinator (actually my dad is, just in case he tries to quote this).

I went away with six pieced hexies.


I cut and basted seven more hexies while at my mum's and then sewed like a wee demon on the train ride home, getting six of them pieced, and the seventh started.

A rather blurry photo but proof I was working on the train.
I have got on with it more since I got home. It is a small project so easy to get on with. I pieced the last hexies and then pieced them all together. Then I tried to take a photo of them up against the fence in rather windy conditions, with a varied success rate. The best and the worst are shown.


I decided the grass made a better backdrop as the trampoline surface was being as uncooperative as the fence.


This panel needs to be turned into something now. There is a plan in place already. It is just up to me to get on with it. Now, there in lies the problem. So many projects on the go and a total inability to focus on one of them.

    This is gorgeous! Lovely pink and grey!

    I am sure you already made up your mind? The sun comes out and will motivate you to finish one UFO after the other

    Great colours, and fair play for getting so much done! EPP is time consuming!

    Like you, I'm not a very good at sewing monogamy either - every project is for a different situation (that's what I tell myself anyway!) Love your EPP - it would be a really striking bag panel! Can't wait to see what you do with it :) x

    Focus smocus, just have fun. Well, unless there is some kind of real deadline, I guess. I love this piece, the bits of brights really work so well with the greys and blacks.

    Well done Susan, it looks lovely! I gave up on the EPP as soon as I was home from my travels, and decided to use the shapes in a small project. At least I have a finish... I'm curious how you'll finish yours!

    Looking fabulous there Susan. I was way off with my guess of how many of these you'd get done while away!

    You do like to keep us in suspense dont you?
