Another mini and finished cowl

I started this mini With 3/8" hexies a while ago using a precious charm pack of Antique Fair. I was inspired by a similar mini in 1/4" hexies that I saw at Pot Pourri Cottage in Newcastle last year. Quilting inspiration struck this week so I finally made a start. I wasn't sure how to quilt the hexagons but I'm happy with how it's looking. 


A big ta-da moment last night when I finished my cowl from the Sydney craft show. Made in just over a week would be a knitting personal best for me. It was quite simple once I figured out the pattern, and came together quickly on large needles. I wore it down town today and didn't feel too conspicuous........was nice and warm too.



End of financial year has been wearing me out at work so I'm looking forward to some quiet sewing time this weekend. Hope you find a moment (or two) to relax too.

    Your cowl is beautiful - you are such a speed demon! Maybe you could wear it while enjoying some stitching time - it just looks incredibly cozy, and wonderful on you.

    Love those EPP hexagons but they are not the easiest to hand quilt with all the seams! I like the quilted crosses - great idea. Well done with the cowl :)

    Your hexies and cowl are simply lovely. I know what you mean about work kicking your bottom at the moment - Im in the same boat. Cannot wait for Tuesday night , when financial year is technically over !
