THE OTHER HEX FLOWER BOX PURSE COMPLETED!

The other hexagon flower box purse is complete! What do you think about the twin sisters? :)

A CUSTOM ORDER OF ANOTHER HEXAGON FLOWER BOX PURSE!

I received a custom order of 2 hexagon flower box purses last week. The lady who placed the order wanted me to use her own fabrics of her own taste, so she sent me the fabrics. She wanted all the leftover fabrics back! It looks like she is an another fabric addict just like me! :) I understand how she feels about her fabrics very well!

One of the purses will be a Christmas present for her quilting friend. The lady says she'll try to keep it as a secret till Xmas, but she says it'll be very hard to do it! I sent the same pictures to the lady and I'm very glad that she liked the color combination.

The second purse is in the same color combo. But I'll use a different fabric for binding so they can tell them apart.

The fabrics she sent to me are of fabric designer Jo Morton for Andover Fabrics. I haven't heard anything about Jo Morton before but it turned out I had some of the same fabric line, too! So I used also them next to the lady's fabrics.

A NEW BOX PURSE IN THE SPOTLIGHT!!

Tataaaamm! Here comes the new box purse! I just listed it in my Etsy shop! I wonder how many days it will stay in the shop!

PROGRESS ON THE BOX PURSE PROJECT 3

...and in the end sewn in the lining.

...made it into the box shape...

I have completed the box purse project. Yesterday, I chose the fabric to line inside, got the bias tape ready, sewn them on the edges...after that sewn in the zipper...and then little handles to both ends... and then ...

PROGRESS ON THE BOX PURSE PROJECT 2

I like tracing the hand quilting lines with my eyes! キルティングラインを目でたどりながらやるのが大好きです。

Last night I basted the top, quilt batting and muslin; then started quilting on the purse project. This is my favorite part of the process: Hand quilting which is like a therapy and very soothing for me. I don't think everyone likes this phase, but it's so much fun to hand quilt!

昨夜、キルトトップ、キルト綿と裏布をしつけかけて、キルティングをし始めたのです。これは一番好きな段階です。ハンド・キルティングは治療みたいなことで、やる時は気持ちがいいのですよ。みんなが好き訳ではないけど、手でキルティングすることはすごく楽しいですよ！

PROGRESS ON THE NEW PROJECT

I made some progress on the new purse project today. I completed joining and removed the paper pieces from the fabric hexagons. The next step is ironing and cutting the top according to pattern.

新しいポーチのプロジェクトに進歩を遂げました。つなぎ終えて、ペーパーピースを外しました。次の段階はアイロンがけ、そしてパターンどおりにカットすることです。

A NEW PROJECT!

This arrangement is what I liked most. I changed some placements of the hexagon flowers, or the fabrics. I can't wait to see the finished top!

この配置は一番好きです。ヘキサゴン花の位置や布をだいぶ変えてみました。縫い終えるのは待ち遠しいです！

I started a new project of an another Hexagon Box Purse that I had sold 2 weeks ago. I love working with small hexagons. I cut hexagon pieces and put them aside; and when I have time I paper-piece them. These are the pieces that I pieced at the craft show while I was waiting for the customers. :) It's so much fun to place them randomly! The initial piece arrangement will change quite a bit during the sewing process.

2週間前にネットショップにて売れた、「ヘキサゴン箱形ポーチ」をもう一つ作り始めたのです。へキサゴン物を作るのが大好きです。ヘキサゴンカットしておいて、暇な時にピーシングをするのです。これらは3・28日の手芸市の時にお客さんたちを待つ間に作ったヘキサゴンピースです。ヘキサゴンをめちゃくちゃに配置するのはすごく楽しいのですよ！最初のピース配置は繋ぎ過程ではかなり変わるでしょう。
