I need a new hand project to do. seems I've done a lot of stuff and don't need much more.

How about hand quilting a quilt in a hoop? My current TV hand projects are knitting socks and crocheting an afghan for this winter...

I'm currently considering appliqué as my next hand project. Maybe Baltimore appliqué? The book "Mi Amor Legacy Appliqué" looks like it would make a stunning quilt. And it will keep me busy a while...

Have you looked at other PP options?? I have two friends that are working on different PP patterns. Both are flower variations. Have you tried a Clamshell?? Just a thought.

This is what I'm thinking about doing, because I HAVE to have a hand sewing project going. Saw a site that showed the hexagon divided into 3 diamonds, therefore making tumbling blocks! I think I wrote the link down somewhere, will see if I can find it, and come back and post it. I'm currently still doing hexies, right now a butterfly, have literally stacks of butterflys and flowers! LOL!
