Hexie Cushion finished and a thank you

DSC09979b

I managed to get quite a few of these hexies done while I was in Florida. I have to say, they wernt my favourite thing to do but its probably my technique and I would definitely try another way if I were to have another go. Still, I'm fairly pleased with the results and my far far away quilt now has a matching cushion.

As I'm nearing 100 followers I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has become a follower and has commented on my blog. Your comments and advice have given me confidence and I am greatful for each and every one of them. In celebration I will do a giveway but you will just have to wait till I get to 100! (and till I think of a suitable prize.)

I also want to say a huge thank you to Val from Sugar and Cianide
who had read that I loved the Wizard of Oz and very kindly offered to send me this fab vintage pillowcase she had all the way from Texas, how lovely is she?!!

So lovely infact, that not only did she send me this pillowcase-(and refused to let me, at the very least, pay her postage)but she also sent me not one, but two fat quarters of DS fabric which I also love!

Now Val, if your reading, I have your address and Im putting together a little package to say thankyou, but some hints on what fabrics/colours you like would be handy so speak up as I want to get this right!
