The marathon has been run

At last I can present to you my hexagon bed topper which was started back in 2010 when I was bitten by the bug.   I took this project along to my quilting group each month as it was a good portable hand project to work on and I also worked on it during some lunch breaks when at work.     It got to a certain stage by 2011 and then just sat around until this year which I had named the year of finishing off three projects that have been sitting around for  too long - this one being the longest.

I picked it up again only to discover that the last piece was missing so I have been working solidly on it since October.

Today was FNSI and I was determined to get the topper finished by Christmas so an early start was made today to ensure that my goal was reached.

I have to give a special mention to hubs who patiently sat and cut out all those hexie shaped papers at the beginning of my hexie journey.   So here it is


If you would like to see what everyone got up to during FNSI head on over to Wendy's blog and you are sure to be inspired.   Thank you Wendy for hosting FNSI during the year and I hope that it continues in 2018. 

I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Christmas and enjoy whatever way you celebrate the Season with family and friends.

Linking with December's OMG.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
