365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Coming Together Nicely
Day 215: By request, front and back! I have five more rows to add to the hexagon quilt to make it large enough to top a full-sized bed without any "drape" over the edges. The end rows will both be long rows (i.e., 14 hexagons, as opposed to the short rows of 13), which makes graceful corners. Half-hexagons fill in spaces along the sides, but top and bottom will be left as points. This quilt is entirely hand-sewn, and I've enjoyed making it so much that I've already begun making a few hexagons for a second one. Once again, I want to extend my profound thanks to all the friends who contributed fabrics to this project. Your donations should keep me stitching for at least two more quilts!
