Sewinggg....

Hey Hey Hey Its Kayy

I just wanted to show everyone the progress on my quilt~   So far, I've gotten three flower things done and sewn them together :) I cant wait for this to be done. I know my stitches show through on the seems, but I'm OK with that since its my first quilt ;D its just a personal thing for myself anyways C:

I also bought some cute fabric today to make myself a dress as well, I went to Jo-Annes and got this tan colored fabric with cute little skulls and hearts on it in black, as well as some shirred black fabric as well. Ill will definitely post that when Its finished!

So here are a couple quilt pictures:

Sorry, quality sucks! No light :(

Here's a way better picture I took outside not too long ago :) now you can see it. Isn't it cute? I can't wait to add more! Requires lots of patience though :)

Anyways, that's all I had to share for the moment, I know I was going to post some drawings... perhaps tonight, or Tuesday, I wont be home tomorrow since I'm spending the night at my friend's house, cant wait!

Have a wonderful night everyone!

A New Hobby? I Think So!!

Okay, so yesterday, right after I posted my post about boredom, I continued to browse random blogs. I found this wonderful blog about quilting (of course I subscribed!) I've tried quilting before, when I was about 12 years old, ha ha. I did not turn out well!  Well I ended up keeping the messed up topper for the next three years, and a few months ago, I ended up making a dress with it, which turned out pretty well, Ill have to edit a picture in here sometime.

Anyways, I already sew, but what I came across was hand quilting with hexagon pieces, it was adorable and just, like wow! Anyways, I found this last night, and attempted to make my own hexagon template, which for some reason just did not work out. At. All.

So today, I got online and found a perfect hexagon picture online, and traced it from my computer (it was just a picture of a hexagon, so I wasn't taking anyone's copyrighted image!) Anyways, i put what i traced onto a piece of thin but sturdy cardboard, and I've been using it to trace lots of little paper templates onto some scrap papers, and so far, Ive made two hexagons :D ha ha, i only just started, but its going decently, I'll put a group of pictures at the bottom of the post :)

I think I'm just going to start out by making a simple flower to hang on my wall :) simple enough :D ha ha, I also have a question at the end of the post, if anyone knows the answer that'd be awesome! (if not, google works too ;D)

This is the picture I used for my hexagons :)

These are all the templates I traced out, one of them cut out with the fabric behind it :)

The templates and one of the hexagons almost done!

Here it is in better light,,,

And here's two of them! ha ha, I'm working on the third, the pink plaid is the middle piece

Please tell me what you thought! Id love to hear :)

See you all later!

P.S. I said I had a question, when you go to take out the paper, do you cut the strings you sewed the template in with, and the stitches you used to connect all the hexagons will keep them together in the right shape?  If anyone can answer, thatd be lovely!

Also, my post on how my drawings have changed over about two years, will be coming up later today :)
