Fabric Swap for Hexagon Making!

Wow, look what I got in the mail last week!!!  Lots of fabric love from Kristen of  K*D Quilts.  We are both making hexagon quilts and hers is a NO REPEAT - mine is not, so we swapped some fabrics to give mine more variety and help her fill the need she has for over 1,000 different fabrics.  Go check out her blog too, it is great and I am really glad I met her here online!

She wrote me a sweet little note too. 

Don't you love that little deer at the top!

She sent me a lot of beautiful fabrics that I didn't have.  This was so much fun, we are going to do it again later as we both collect new and different fabrics.   Thanks again Kristen!

Starbucks and Hexagons - 2 of my favorite things!

So I know this is a little extreme since I already have a Starbucks insulated cup, but when they came out with a new one that is bigger (24 oz) AND the two layers separate so you can decorate the inside of them, I knew I had to do THIS!

I got out some 1/2" hexies and some Central Park and Sunkissed fabrics and started stitching.

It was kind of difficult to shape it to the curve of the glass but I think it turned out great!  I love having these cups at work, helps me drink more water.  We have a good ice machine (I work at the hospital) so I enjoy cold drinks all shift long.  Now, no one will pick mine up by mistake either, they will just look at it and shake their heads and laugh.  I love it though.
