A gift for a friend :)

This little zippy is for a friend - it's made with the same fabric as a tote she has made (and which I don't yet see posted to her blog, hint hint :D).   I didn't add any embellishments to this (other than the twin needle quilting in variegated orange thread) so that the recipient can decorate it to match the tote :D

Today I tried something new - I did some hexies to try a project I spotted during my internet travels.  The project is done but I have to make the "bling" to go on it - hopefully I can do that today so I can post a photo.  I cheated on the hexies - you're supposed to tack stitch them on the wrong side when you fold the raw edges in - I just pressed them and then appliqued them on to the project.  It wasn't difficult, and saved me the extra step ;)
