The photo below shows the pasta bowls nicely nestled down in their holders. So much easier to carry a hot bowl out of the microwave rather than trying to hold a bowl between a double oven glove and walk across the room. A great scrap buster project as well. A double bonus.
So that was my FNwF project. What was your project if you joined in with Cheryll and the others?
That was my little diversion from the hexie production line. To date all the hexies have now been sewn onto the background fabric and with my trusty Frixon pen I have marked all four corners of each block with two lines ready to do some quilting along those lines. This is what each block looks like now.
A close up of the quilting.
My OMG for November is to do the straight line quilting in each of the four corners of the 12 blocks and make a start on joining the blocks.
Linking with Oh Scrap.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy
sewing all

I've just discovered how fun hexies are! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.

Lovely pasta bowl holders, and great quilting around the hexies x
I like the fabric you’ve used for your bowls ..... they look great too!
Thank you for the link. I had seen soup bowl covers before, didn’t think I needed them then ..... but I can see they’ve got to go on the list for a spare moment! Tee hee ..... whatever that is!
Lovely hexies ..... neat quilting! I’m getting wary of frixion pens though ..... firstly peeps have told me that it doesn’t disappear completely, and if the fabric gets cold the ink shows again ..... and secondly, I used mine to write the words “scrabble” and “Rummikub” on my Game Piece Bag (see my blog), unfortunately I ironed one of the pieces and the colour came out of the red fabric - not enough to worry too much, but I know it’s happened and I can see white marks! Anyway, just a warning ..... be aware.
