Borders added to the Eye Fooler quilt.

Did not sleep at all last night. Lots of things on my mind but most of it was sewing related. So I just got up at 3:00 a.m. put some music on and added 2 borders to my Eye Fooler quilt. Hubby says it looks "royal". And that is a good thing. Anyway, it is now ready/done. I need to piece the backing and cut some batting and wait for the next delivery from my Long Arm quilter, Lisa Olinger.
Did I tell you she picks up and delivers????? Too cool!


I found these hexie boxes at a Borders. This large square one hold all the rotary blades and that electric sharpener. (which I love!)


This box has a neat notebook and a pencil case with hexie pencils too! So far it is just looking beautiful. I have not decided what to store in it.
Love the interior color....


I moved the magnets in that magnetic pin holder and check out how my pins are behaving. I have my own little magnetic vortex going on here.
I love my TJ Lane thimble. It fits so well I forget I have it on despite the weight of it. It solved my sore thumb issues. I should have used it from the start.


This is my work box for basting the hexies. I can set this on my lap anywhere and have everything handy!!!



I also crochet like there is no tomorrow. I use this little holder all the time. There is a small slot on top for the metal crochet hook and even a small drawer!!!
Excuse the dust. Who has time to clean when there is so much sewing to do?
Yes, I made that doily.


Hubby found this antique sewing box on Craig's list. There is not one single nail in it. The top rolls back like a roll top desk.


I watched Our Bonnie Hunter on Quilt cam today. She is such an inspiration!!!


I did get two of Angela's exchange fabrics made into spool blocks today.

XOXOXOXOXO Subee

As usual, running rings around the rest of us!!! You are amazing Subee :*) Love that crochet ball holder - I've never seen one of those! And they way you have organized your hexies is perfect. I took a picture to save for when I start my hexie project. Thanks for sharing all your goodies with us today :*)
