W.I.P Wednesday

My Parents have three lovely girls who live next door to them in Ireland, and every time we go over they spend a huge amount of time keeping the kids (and me) entertained.  To say thanks (and keep them sweet for next time), I like to make them each a gift when I come home.  Hence the need to make two pencil cases and a makeup case in bright colours (their request).

Holiday pics!

I managed to finish the makeup case and one of the pencil cases yesterday and baste hexies (I know I said never again!) for the final case.  Just in time for WIP Wednesday ;-)

So to my weekly round up....

Finished:

Hexie cushion - which has been blogged 4 times already, but I love it so here it is again!

This made it to the final 10 of the Festival of hexagons - go take a look and vote for your fave!

Makeup case & Pencil case - The inspiration for the stitching on both of these this came from Susan's hexie cushion, I love how the Perle stands out on the charcoal solid.

Kona charcoal and various scraps
