Let's Get Acquainted Link Up...

Quilt number 1 basted, food time, and then basting my Siblings Quilt.
Good morning (afternoon or evening depending on where you are in real life), and welcome to my little corner of the blogging world.   A massive thank you to the wonderful Beth at Plum and June for giving me the opportunity to host the link up this week *gives a little curtsey*.  

If you want to find out more about me, then either pop over to the Let's Get Acquainted New Blogger Blog Hop 2013, or my Liebster write up.

So, let me tell you what I've been up to this week, sewing wise, I've been focused on binding this Hexy quilt for my little one.
Squishy corner binding.
I started it 2 and a half years ago (it was my very first quilting project), and although it has been put aside, sometimes for months at a time, I am now quite determinedly in the final throws of the finish.  It is 3/4 bound and the final side will be completed tomorrow, and then I plan on quilting the binding hexagons to secure it all in place.

I am loving the look of the binding Hexies, it is such a cool and unusual way to bind a quilt, this tutorial gave me the idea, and it is really simple process.

Quilty bound corner, 3 quarters done!
So, now it's time for you to tell me what you have been up to:

1. Link up any recent sewing/quilting post.
2. In your post or on your blog, please include either a text link or a button letting people know about this link up and link it back to this post.
3. Visit at least the two bloggers who link up before you and everyone who visits you from this post.
4. When the link tool asks for your name, enter your favourite fabric line.

  10. Will have to look up hexy binding for my insanity quilt... As you will have gathered by now, I never read instructions until it's too late, so didn't name fabric in my link up! If I had done, it would be Amy Butler :-) Much too predictable, I know, wish I could think of someone obscure instead...

  15. That is a wonderful way to finish a hexies quilt, I will keep it in mind if/when I start a new hexie project... Don't know if I'd ever manage to make a whole quilt of them though.
