EPP hexagon pillow...a finish, finally
I finally finished my epp hexagon pillow! I first showed you some of the 2 inch hexies pieced together here. Well, that was two months ago! I probably wouldn't have finished it except that my dad has been in the hospital for two weeks and I've had a little free time (while the relishes are at pre-school) sitting up there keeping him company. He is feeling better, but will likely have heart surgery later this week. With that said, I have had very little time/energy to sew.
Really not much to say about this pillow other than I used charms from Simply Color by V and Co. for Moda. Two inch hexagons are the perfect size for 5 inch charms, FYI. I used my Silhouette to make the paper templates. I keep telling Mr. Relish it will pay for itself! lol
I also started a new EPP project today while sitting at the hospital. I am excited about this one! It has hexagons, squares, and triangles, oh my! I didn't take a picture today, but maybe I will tomorrow and blog real quick from my ipad.
I did finish Mr. Relish's anniversary quilt but I'm saving that post for next month for Sew We Quilt's blog hop, For the Boys! Wooohooo...my first blog hop! Stay tuned for that, but just so you know, he LOVED it!
I am also liking up over at Hydee Ann's (<--love her name!) new monthly EPP linky party at Splish Splash Stash! You must go check it out this Saturday! Hi, Hydee Ann!
Lastly, while I was taking pictures of my hexagon pillow early this morning (see the dew?), I also snapped a picture of little relish sporting her first pony ever! Isn't she adorable?
That's all I got for you this week. Thanks for visiting!

ReplyDeleteHaha...yes, it's all finished! I actually had the post scheduled to publish but then got added to the blog hop. Whooohooo! Yes, I brought the finished pillow to share with the nurses and my dad to show what I had been stitching. Haha! His surgery was today and everything went good. Thanks so much for the prayers!

ReplyDeleteThank you!! The pillow spent a few days in the room with my dad this week to brighten the room and to show all the curious nurses the finished product. Lol. Thanks for the well wishes! He had surgery today and hope he gets better and better every day. XO

Deletehi back atcha! thanks for linking up. =) little relish's first piggy tail is so cute. that's a milestone i've documented with each of my 5 girls. thanks for the tip on the 2" hexies and the charm squares. i was wondering how charms might work with epp. love the hand quilting on the cushion! hope your daddy feels better and surgery goes well for him. can't wait to see your new project.
ReplyDeleteHeeey! 5 girls!!!! Oh my!!! I bow to you, my dear! Lol
DeleteI love the finish your hand quilting gives to your pillow.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It took a bit of time but well worth it! How on earth one does a whole quilt? Thanks for stopping over for a visit!
DeleteLove your hand quilting on the pillow, it makes it even more special.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm glad I forced myself to do it by hand. I wasn't very even with my stitches but I kinda like that part. Thanks so much for the visit, also!
