I've been out watching the cows for a few days and after a visit to Sue Daley's stand at the craft show I thought right I have to do this.................perfect really for down the road as i'm just sitting there in the car.......NO POWER required...........
anyway I got some big diamonds...........thought it would come together a little quicker then..........not quite so fiddly...........
no idea what I am making them for but I am having fun.................
So today i remember I had a kit using these tiny hexagons...........
excellent idea to play with the big ones first and I felt much more confident today with these little babies............see the bobbin on the right near the scissors.......those sure are tiny hexagons..........
I have one of those steady tables - you know the kind you can put your dinner on to eat on your lap (blue)............well i never do that but my laptop lives on it............anyway it was great sitting on my lap in the car............everything was well balanced.............it has a lip around the edge and little things sit there perfectly............
hope you're ready for the cold weather we are going to get this week..............
Catch you later..............

They look great ....EPP is my favourite!!!!
I really love playing with paper and the fact that it is so portable. I have a green stable table and use it heaps. I have 2 rows left to do of Sue's red and white quilt. Love your tiny hexagons
The paper piecing becomes addictive! Enjoy them
Fun!!! Sue Daley did a workshop at our quilt group and now at least half of us are addicted to paper piecing lol. I'm making her "It Takes Two" quilt and I love it :o).
Enjoy ......
Hugs,
Joy ;o)
I love paper piecing too and it's portability is a winner with me. I was surprised when I saw the forecast for this week. Cold! Lucky I am in Adelaide this week. It's warmer than Melbourne!
Going to get?????????? We've GOT it here already! Wet, gale force winds and bitterly cold. Hmmn, I think they call it winter down here though :) Apparently snow to 400 Metre level overnight. Got my toasty warm flannel quilt on the bed. Hexagons looking great, Chooky
Cold weather sounds good about now....we (Arizona USA) are in above normal heat...yesterday 118...who knows today! Enjoy and I love the lap tray idea.
Lovely to see Chookyblue,that we have been shopping in the same shop!!! LOL
Your small hexagons are sweet.
My paper piecing goes very slowly indeed :-)
I love making hexies, but have not made the small ones yet......they are very addictive......and so very portable....can't wait to see what you are going to do with yours.....
No rest for a quilter eh? You know the way my eyesight is going I don't think my arms are long enough to work with such small hexies, LOL.
thanks for sharing.
cheers, Miche'le
They are tiny hexagons! Perfect work for cow watching!!! Think they may be a little addictive though...

Keep warm & tied down...love the EPP...so much fun!
Hi Chooky. I have been making some too for a project for our next stitching day. They are a bit of a fiddle!
aahh now you've joined The Club...see how long it takes before you are Addicted..lol.
cheers
Watch out now Chooky, those hexies get you in when you are not watching!! Freezing cold and blowing like crazy here..
paper pieceing sure is addictive! I must get back to my hexies! Must get a stable table...I use a cushion now and things fall off it and Rose has fun trying to beat me to picking them up!
How much fun are these Chooky?...
let me know if you like working with h exies?? there must be a trick, as it is not one of my favourites. love the idea of your lap top holder - saw one today at the post office that even had a light on it - evened ummed at it, but managed to walk away.
Glue basting set me free, love paper piecing now. Have lots of sizes and lots of shapes and lots of quilts busting to get out.
I have a lap table too -for my laptop - but mine will NOT be used for miniature hexies!! LOL
Great use of cow time!
Great multi tasking!!!
Cow watching isn't so boring as it sounds then! Great little hexies the smaller they get the cuter they are. Hope you had a heater on in the car!
