I’m definitely getting back into the swing of things with my hand sewing.
This week I cleaned out my little English Paper Piecing Yazzi kit, putting away the hexagons that I’ve already basted and cleaning out the nest of thread clippings that always seem to accumulate.
I spent some time basting more hexagons, but also sewed three flowers together. All of the hexagons are from scraps in my collection. Some of them are my fabric, but a lot of the ones I’ve been working with lately are from scraps I inherited after my Grammy (who, along with Mom, taught me to quilt) passed away.
I really love seeing other people’s works in progress, so I’m linking this up with Life Under Quilts EPP Count, She Can Quilt’s Scraptastic Tuesday, and Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday.
Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday – we love to see other people's work too! Having a connection to your family quilting past is a fabulous way to keep them with you I think.
Your hexagons looks great, beautiful colors!

Laura, Nice work. It is great to see you linking up with Jessica's site.
Wonderful hexagon flowers. And you get to think of your grandma while you make them. Bonus!
These are beautiful!
What a beautiful way to use scraps, and to know some are from your Grammy makes them all the more precious!
I love your hexie flowers; the stories/links/heritage that goes along with each and every piece makes these all the more treasured. I know that your Mom and your precious Grammy are smiling… even from Heaven. 🙂
