Have a good day and enjoy the other one.

Hay ya'll, The other day I received the package that Mz Darlene sent to me. I was stuffed full of fabric pieces for my hexagons, my quilt in progress. There are so many different colors and sizes and textures. Thank you for sending them Mz Darlene. I am well on my way to making thousands of tiny hexagons. Now if I could just find more hours to sew. Thanks again, Hugs and prayers, Daizy

It was my Pleasure Daizy,
I would love to see your hexagons sometime if you could post and I hope you have time to sew soon too. That is a lot of tiny cutting and tiny sewing. I admire you for that, I am all thumbs when it comes to tiny.

Mz Margo,
I use a template. The plastic ones you get from sewing centers. I have all sizes. They are a challenge but I have found that if you press the fabric lightly to hold the folds down it is easier to sew them neater. I will try to post a photo soon for show and tell.
Thanks again for the fabric, Mz Darlene. Even the small pieces can be used for the smaller hexagons.
Hugs and prayers, Daizy

Oh good Daizy, I know you mentioned once about 1 inch sizes so I thought it would work when I came across it.
Your very welcome.

I'm always looking for small rubber/cling/clear stamps with various greetings: happy birthday, love you mom, thanks, love you, miss you, thank you ect. And small brads and shirt thickness buttons, baker's twine in any color. I would be happy to take heavy weigh colored cardstock too. I make cards for operationwritehome.org and no money to buy extra supplies.
To trade: punchies/tags from punches I have on hand. A2 card fronts in colored/patterned cardstock. A sheet of return address labels for you. A pack of 4 notecards handmade by me.

How heavy weight is the cardstock you are interested in? Do you want them cut to a certain size? I have some and if you want to trade would trade you for the return address labels and pack of 4 notecards.

Hay ya'll,
I will add to my "always looking" list here by adding red and white and blue fabric. These can be pieces or swatches or fat quarters or garments. I need cotton type fabrics in these colors/shades to sew a Quilt of Valor quilt for a Vietnam Vet who fought for our FREEDOM. He lives here on my ranch and is retired. He is a really nice man and I want to sew it with fabrics from around the country. I will be adding a note with the locations of where the fabrics came from. Thanks for your help.
Hugs and prayers, Daizy

Hi Daizy,
I may have some material for your quilt.
Please tell your friend the Viet Nam Vet thank you for me and that I really appreciate what he did for our Country by putting his life on the line for us and our freedoms. At a time when people were not nice to those veterans, it was sad to see, Tell him he is in my prayers and give my love.
hugs and blessings

Thank you Mz Darlene, I will be sure to add your thoughts and love to the note I attach. He will be able to look at the note and read it over and over again. Telling him would not be enough. He talks a lot about how the homecoming reception was. It makes me sad.....made me mad back then. Thank you again for your help.
Hugs and prayers, Daizy
