Hello, how's everyone doing?
We're enjoying a relaxed but very cold and snowy winter break. It's been snowing for days and roads are in terrible condition, but I'm quite enjoying our being house bound, as I got a few more blocks for my Tone it Down quilt finished.
This one is my favorite so far. I was planning on using only green, blue, gray, and low volume fabrics for the quilt, but it felt like it was missing something. So I decided to add some peach/ pink, yellow, as well as some grayish black and I think the whole color scheme works a lot better this way.
I also did tons of epp, I keep all the supplies in my Sew Together Bag which makes making a few hexies here and there so much easier.
These lovely enlongated hexagons (lozenges) might be my very favorite epp shape ever and I'm planning on turning them into a scrappy pillow cover. Should be fun :)
Hope 2014 is off to a good start for all of you, too.

Beautiful and love the (new?) header. I need to keep looking for that pattern for the Tone it Down- it wasn't at Joann's last time I checked.
ReplyDeleteI like the header too! Gorgeous EPP, I must do some lozenge shapes - they're so pretty! Happy 2014 :)
ReplyDeleteOoh lucky you getting snow! Your tone it down quilt is going to be stunning.
ReplyDeleteThose lozenges are wild! Not a shape I've seen around... where did you find them? I'm just starting (another) EPP pillow cover as well!
ReplyDeleteYour little piles of hexies and lozenges always look like fabric jewels! Pure eye candy! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing that quilt, and loving all those colourful EPP goodies!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely what I would imagine to be the perfect pouch for EPP. EPP is something that is on my list to try out this year, too… just have to figure out if I want to go scrappy or actually make a plan :)
ReplyDeleteNeat! Good to see your bag in action :-)
ReplyDeleteSvetlanko, ty jsi zase pilna! No, ale je fakt, ze je dobre mit stale co tvorit, vid?
ReplyDeleteCo se tyce toho snehu... no, u nas by se take trosku hodilo. Je fakt, ze to odklizeni snehu me nebavi, a parkovani na neodklizenem parkovisti uz vubec ne, ale zima ma byt se snehem. Tak uzivejte si tu Vasi zimu, krasne to vse pozorujte z tepla domova :) Mej se krasne, pa, Jola
I love your sew together bag..I made one last year...such fun and it holds LOTS :o)
ReplyDeleteThe peach is a great addition to your block at the top...adds a little zing :o)
ooo! your lozenges are yummy! that's going to be a gorgeous pillow.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Svetlana! I was thinking of you when I saw the news of the severe weather...... as we are enjoying lots of outside time here in flip flops and short sleeves, I wouldn't mind of bit of "real" weather and cozying up time with my sewing machine- ha!! All your projects look great, as usual! All the best in 2014!
ReplyDeleteLove the odd shaped EPPS! I have only ever done hexies and I love them. I look forward to seeing more of yours!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you are using for your Tone it Down quilt. adding the pink gives it just the right amount of glow. Your epp shapes are wonderful too, such fun colours.
ReplyDeleteI just love being snowed in! Your hexagons are looking fabulous and I'm anticipating your pillow : )
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is really going to be beautiful and so you! Is it called the "tone it down" quilt? I'm going to look for it online since I've been unable to read anything for about 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteLove those lozenges you've made! I saw a little Oh Deer one in there--hope that makes it into the pillow!+
