The kids in particular enjoyed that one!<br /><br />I have been hunting Muscat (in 100*F + weather!!!) for a new box and my latest post discusses just what I have done with my hexies!<br /><br />I suppose once in the States, I will be using the ziplock for spacial reasons!<br /><br />Also, great find on the perle cotton. You have given me an idea! I'm going to use up the left over perle cotton floss from my Hardanger projects to quilt something! Don't know yet but will find something!Coffeebean's Dailieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683019987532785840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473428269886970702.post-91413584236507417672010-06-10T22:16:03.506-05:002010-06-10T22:16:03.506-05:00Beautiful grouping of colors of Perle cotton--they...Beautiful grouping of colors of Perle cotton--they are so pretty just on their own :)<br /><br />The great hexagon mixup is a joy of color too.
