It was a very quiet class today.
Josephine is getting closer to the final border of her Mrs Billings, and today we had time in class to have a look at the pyramid hexagons.
Are you sitting down? ‘Cos I had time to help Josephine with her hexagons, I ended up….yep, me….ended up making a paper pieced hexagon pyramid!!! Yes, you read correctly!! What’s more, I actually enjoyed it – shock! horror! gasp! Not sure if it was using Aurifil thread, or taking fewer whip stitches, but I did really enjoy it!! Wanna see?
Don’t know if I’m a total convert, but I’m not adverse to “giving it another try”. One should never say never, so they say!!
While I was working on that one, Josephine was making one too, (not quite finished)…
And speaking of Mrs Billings, Miss Helen showed me the latest copy of Down Under magazine (issue 160) last week, which has a delightful piece on the Mrs Billings quilt, and Karen’s role in the resurgence of interest in this beautiful masterpiece….
Then over the page is…..
Shirley’s prize winning version, and mine too!! I now have my own copy! Tickled pink, I are!!
Happy stitching

beautiful so nice that your quilt is in the magazine – it looks like a lovely magazine I will have to see if I can find it anyplace but doubtful.
I just finished repairing a very old quilt that was made with the hexagon. It was beautiful!

Beautiful work Meredithe! I would have at least 10 copies bought by now if I were published!
I just found your blog, and it is wonderful!! When I come to a new to me blog, I always go back to see what they’ve been up to. I’m sure there are others who do the same thing, and it would make it so much easier to do if your posts were archived.
Thanks, and i’ve subscribed so I can see everything you’re working on. 🙂
