Hexagons, again

 I have been trying to sort and organize the photos on my computer (and ipad). 
This is sort of complicated, since i seem to have about 17,000 photos on it.  I want to shift many of them on to memory sticks, but am afraid that I would just forget entirely what's on them.  So, I have been printing out hard copies of lots and lots of photos, and placing them in albums.  Also, I hope to make a list of what is on each memory stick as I transfer the photo files from the computer to the stick.   This is all a bit overwhelming, but I do think that it is ultimately achievable!

 One of my strategies is to also upload some photos to my blog--- things that I took photos of in order to keep track of on the blog but might not have gotten around to doing yet.  This might make for a series of sort of random postings,

Unfortunately, some of the photos from the ipad were ones that I wanted to remember, but I have no attribution of where I obtained them.  (I can certainly take them down from the blog if I am stepping on anyone's toes by having them here....)

an amazing pieced hexagon that I lost the attribution of who made it!

This time the block is called Four Stars, for the obvious reasons:

This is block 17, it is called Peppermint Swirl

Other works in progress

When I made the page about the works in progress, I only listed the ones in Saskatoon. Now that I am in Savannah, I must own up to the fact that I have projects on the go here as well. These are two that I have worked on this week. One is star quilt that I am making from a free pattern download From the Westminster fabrics site. Westminster was taken over by free spirit fabrics so may be the pattern is on the free spirit website. I will look it up when I go on my laptop. Right now I am just on my iPad.
The fabrics are nearly all from art gallery fabrics, that had just come in to the store a few days before I traveled to Savannah. They are and Shades of turquoise, gray, white and gold. I really like this color combination.
The other project started with some vintage grandmother flower garden blocks that I purchased in Houston. A few months ago I decided to set them with triangles of Black and off-white prints.
I had them on my design wall when I took the photograph. Just now when I was looking at it I rotated it to see how it looks when hexagons are oriented the other way.

Spools

I have started a new project. I decided that I needed some decorative spools to hold my special ribbons. So I am making some out of clay. I have posted about this on my Clay blog, but while I was thinking of doing this I googled some images of spools. These are some pictures that I found which are sort of interesting:
