I've been absent, too, Ok. It's summer camp season & I teach many weeks in the season. As a result of that, I haven't turned on my machined at all for a few weeks. The upside is I also havent had time to shop for fabric! So nothing has gone out, but nothing has come in, either.
Teen, your hexies look great! I dont have patience for hand work like that. The only needle(s) I wield are knitting, or tapestry to weave in ends.
