Compulsive Purchase
Jan 23, 2006 Quilting
On Saturday, I picked up the latest Fons & Porter magazine from Barnes & Noble. I like this magazine. It inspires me to quilt and be creative. I think the Wheel of Mystery quilt is the only quilt I’ve actually make from the magazine, though I intend to make others.
The January/February issue features Kaye Wood’s View & Do™ Hexagon templates. I like hexagons. From a geometrical point of view they fascinate my mind. They can be divided into three equal shapes that are very different than the original shape, very talented. The project, a simple item, is a Hexagon Star. I think it is the quilter’s version of a crocheted dollie.
This morning after I purchased Ross’ birthday present, I found myself on the Fons & Porter website. Before I knew what hit me, I bought the hexagon templates and a 2-year subscription to the magazine. Now I want to go home and select fabrics to make a hexagon star. This will be the perfect project to work on in between the bathroom remodeling project.
