I'm curious about what you might be making with that pretty fabric. I like the color of that thread in your header picture. I don't know what that bug is but that's a great close up of him
Hey Ann! Nothing set in stone. So far I'm practicing my hexies. Though likely a bag, basket and whatever else. Maybe a scrunchie too. No real plans at this time. Just learning as I play.
I still have a collection of fabrics to 'do something with'. I used to make jointed toys in the winter and enjoyed creating them. Those are some fantastic shots and I love the beautiful photos of the insect!
Toys sound great. Have you made any face clothes, unpaper towels, oven mitts, hot pads, jar covers? What toys did you make? Sounds fun. Thanks about the bug. I love shouting insects.
I'll take a couple of your adorable waffles! so cute. love the distinct details in these photos Ivy!! let's see.. what could you be doing with the material? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I'll send them your way. They're yummy. Right now I'm learning hexies. Though I'll likely make a bag too. Maybe more make-up remover pads. Dunno for sure. Right now I'm learning hexagons. How are you feeling? All better?
that bug is amazing, love her/his colors... don't want him ON me but he/she is colorful and interesting and the spiders on the fabric looked real. I had to go back to see if I missed cotton in your header and then saw she meant the thread was cotton. well done on the camera skills
Thanks. I do love shooting little bugs. This one is a crop. Fun. love that spider button. He's so neat. Thanks for popping in. Wishing you a good weekend ahead.
Ooooo, I like that pink daisy fabric. Reminds me of something I'd wear growing up. That's a great close-up photo of the spider, but it looks like a strange looking one, be careful. Have a sweet day, friend.
Bravo on the macro !!! Outstanding and perfect for Wordless Wednesday. I do love the purple thread too. Your lighting works so well with that shot. Sue
Your Wordless Wednesday makes me smile, Ivy! The close‑ups are so fun, and I love how you sneak in those little surprises—waffles, bugs, spiders, all of it. Your joy in the tiny details really shines through. Such a treat to pop in here. 🧇✨
Yep, it looks like a real beetle... beautiful color AND your fabric has beautiful colors too. I read that you're making hexies. I haven't tried hexies yet... how you make them! - With a cardboard template!!! In any case, I wish you lots of fun. I haven't been into quilting for very long either, and I'm very happy that I'm now working on my fourth quilt... originally I thought "I'll make three quilts" - but once you start with these beautiful, colorful fabrics, you really can't stop... because it's just so much fun. Hugs.
Sewing for sure is fun. I've been a sewist for a long, long, long time BUT, this is my first go at hexagons. I'm currently using Creative Grids 60 Degree Equilateral Triangle Designed by Rachel Cross. I got mine at a local fabric shoppe however, Amazon has them as well.
Here's a video that might help kickstart your hexies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8BOrGuX4rU (this is a YouTube video by The Sewing Studio).
There are many ways to get a hex, the video above is one of those ways. Cheers and Happy Sewing!
I wonder why this didn't show up in my blogger list? Hmmm. Glad I found it. I love seeing all the cloth (which right now I am planning some projects with cloth so it's very inspiring). And wow, what a handsome spider. I love his/her green and yellow color. I hope March starts off wonderful for you!
Hi Erika! I'm not sure. I know this happens to me when Bloggers don't show up in my reader thing here on Blogger. Then later, they pop up. I see an Erika in my followers, and I think that's you. What I've had to do with blogs from time to time, which is weird, but I've had to unfollow and refollow them. That did work for a bit. But it's been awhile since I had to do that. Hope that helps.
LOVE that you're planning cloth projects. Excited for you. Have you seen Donna's other blog @ https://sewitseams51.blogspot.com/ ? She is super talented and you might enjoy this blog too.
in an attempt to help you add the blogs you follow on your blog...go to the top right corner of your blog, click on "Design". on the new page that appears on the left side column, click on "Layout" then "Add a gadget". there are a lot of gadgets you can add , you want to "Add blog list". i hope you can follow this, it's not difficult and there are a lot of "Gadgets" you might want to add!! my email address is stangs6@hotmail.com if you have any other questions or i can help any further!!
Hi Debbie! I gave that another try and Blogger refuses to give me the actual list. Just the title. Even though I have everything checked. So not sure what that's about. When I change the layout of the blog I'll give it another go. Much thanks!
once you have the "gadget" loaded, you have to enter each of the blogs you read individually. maybe you did that. a pop up box should appear that says "Configure Blog List"...scroll down and you should see (written in red) "add a new item" after you add a blog link, you have to click on save (in red).
I had to look up that bug, I've never seen one like that before. Apparently it's a Green Nettle Weevil, every day's a school day. What a great photo. Those waffles look yummy, wondering what you had them with.
It's a very pretty Weevil. I had more than one and I love the green. Waffles I just ate them by themselves. I often will just eat waffles. And, I'll use the leftover waffles as toast later with peanut butter. Or any kind of sandwich.
Thanks, Denise. That's a crop. I took so many of that little guy. The heart waffle maker is crazy fun. Got a batch of the wet ingredients ready to go for morning. Blueberry. I'll teleport you some.
I love the macro bug and you managed to capture such wonderful detail. Very cool spider fabric. I wonder what you will make with that or will you use it as a background for something else? Yummy heart shaped waffles. They look delicious but I've just eaten, so something fun to try another day. Thanks for the wordless Wednesday 😊
Thanks! That was a crop and fun to shoot. Shot many of him that day. Be posting fabric projects soon. One of the things I'm loving are the makeup remover pads and the unpaper towels. Both reusable and sooooo fun.
Yes, I was thrilled to see the bug up close and how pretty he/she was. The heart-shaped make it fun. I dunno why, but it just is pure fun. Thanks, Beatrice. Happy Day to you!
I love the purple color of this thread! Do you know what kind of bug this is? I hope it doesn't eat your fabric!
ReplyDeleteI think he's a weevil. Though not 100 percent. Thanks about the purple thread. Happy Weekend.
DeleteLove those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks, River. Happy Weekend!
DeleteLove the colour of the cotton in your header, and the fabric is looking good too - and that bug, well done with your macro.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. Much, much thanks. Fun buys.
DeleteSome good looking waffles!

DeleteThey're all great, but especially the macro closeup of that bug -- WOW! such a beautiful iridescent green!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra. Before I shot him, I didn't even know just how pretty they were- Found a couple of them that day.
DeleteThat's a great close up of the bug!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! I cropped in. Was fun.

ReplyDeleteHi lori! Thanks. Wishing you a yummy weekend.
DeleteThe spider print looks reminds me of your drawing style :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy!
DeleteOooh - those are great macro shots. But I'll take the waffles over the bugs.
ReplyDeletelol. Waffles headed your way in 3... 2... I...
DeleteI like the bug! Your skill with a camera is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to play. Have you gone back to noodle making yet? So fun. And yummy.

Hi Jackie! Thank you!
DeleteI love your header with that great shot of the spool of thread. Wow. What a close up of the bug- almost doesn't seem real.
ReplyDeleteHellloooo Judee! Hope you're having a yummy warm weekend.
DeleteI swear that spider is posing for you!
ReplyDeletelololol.
DeleteOoooo, I like that pink daisy fabric. Reminds me of something I'd wear growing up. That's a great close-up photo of the spider, but it looks like a strange looking one, be careful. Have a sweet day, friend.
ReplyDeleteJust a little weevil - very pretty. Daises are so fun. Did you have a bike with daises? So fun those were.
DeleteBravo on the macro !!! Outstanding and perfect for Wordless Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI do love the purple thread too. Your lighting works so well with that shot.

While I don't necessarily love seeing bugs/insects up close it is rather fascinating to see all those details you were able to capture.
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks, Joanne! Until I took the shot, I had no idea how pretty they were.
DeleteThat tiny bug photo is spectacular!

DeleteYour waffles make me hungry for some. It's too late for today but tomorrow's supper will definitely feature them!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week!!
Great! Did you end up having waffles too?

DeleteI'm impressed Ivy, great macro on that bug and love the pretty patterns and colors. I could just go for a plate of heart-shaped waffles :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Denise. That's a crop. I took so many of that little guy. The heart waffle maker is crazy fun. Got a batch of the wet ingredients ready to go for morning. Blueberry. I'll teleport you some.
DeleteAmazing photos my friend. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the heart shaped waffles, I love waffles.
Much, much thanks! Us too. So fun waffles.
