Hi Everyone......
Last week was our 32nd anniversary. 32 years is a long time for anything, but it doesn't feel long for being married to my wonderful husband. I guess time flies when you have fun. He makes me laugh every day. I'm so blessed to have someone who supports me in all that I do. He's always there for me in all ups and downs.
On top of that, I also got great news about my QuiltCon entries. Two of four quilts got accepted. Here is a glimpse of them. You've seen the one on the right before. It's the quilt called 'Journey'. The one on the left is called 'Autumn 21', I will have to show it to you at a later time.
I'm so thrilled to be included among super talented quilters. Check out so many great quilts on Instagram #QuiltCon2021.
In my last post, I said my OMG for December was to do something with all the EPP Hexies that I have. I've made some progress as seen below.
I made the top four coasters first and tried different ideas for quilting. It turned out I didn't like them as much. I felt there's too much quilting on them. So I made the next four coasters and left out the quilting on the white background. I only quilt around the hexie shape. I like it much better. So I made more.....

The fun continues with this 7" square hot pad.
I also tried some other layouts on 8" square as in the picture below. The more I look at them, I probably make the background a little bigger.
Have a great quilty day!!
Lovely coasters you made. Thanks for the idea.
