Starry Hexies
Do you remember The Jetsons?
I couldn't help but think about the space age family this week, and their home full of amazing gadgets and clever robots, while in my own house...
Walter the robot vacuum cleaned our floors
Doris dishwasher merrily washed the dishes,
Hans the electric bread maker turned out a beautiful baked loaf,
The Washing Machine ( who doesn't have a name) went round in circles cleaning our clothes for us.
Mike Rowave warmed up dinner..
The Fridge just stayed cool, hummimg away in the corner
and
My iPhone read me stories and played pod casts to entertain me.
Lots of pieced hexagons for The Springwood Quilt Show 2013 Raffle Quilt.
The committee got together last week and we put all our hexagons together, they look so wonderful ... skip over to the Springwood Quilt Show blog to have a look.
By coincidence Barb of Fun With Barb changed her blog header recently, and is using a quilt made with pieced hexagons, here's a link to the post about her wonderful quilt.

Awesomely old-school, but in a 21st century way!
ReplyDeleteAll of those hexies look so good together! Can't wait to find out what will be in the middle! :o)
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Jetsons.....but the part where he gets on the treadmill that is 'hanging out over space' really would freak me out. I'm deathly afraid of heights!
It was certainly busy at your house this weekend! I'm glad you had all the help of modern convenience. Because your old fashioned hand sewing is fabulous and deserves the attention.
ReplyDeleteLoved your post. Often I have wished for the dog treadmill that hung outside their space home! lol.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies look beautiful and you have combinations I've never seen before - hooray for hexies!
Your hexies are gorgeous! Where can I find those appliances? I do remember the Jetsons--used to watch them every day. It's fun to hear the names that I'd forgotten.
ReplyDeleteYour hexagons are beautiful!! I have very fond memories of the Jetsons.....always one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteROFL, can you send some of those friends here? I'm most interested in Doris...
ReplyDeleteWe were just talking about the Jetsons the other day, thinking about the conveyer belt that Mr. Jetson rode in the mornings to get ready for work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful hexies!
E' vero da bambina anch'io ammiravo quei fantastici aggeggi della famiglia spaziale, ora abbiamo le case piene.....
ReplyDeleteCiao
What a beautiful array of hand sewing Rachael. The quilt is going to be stunning.
ReplyDeleteI used to love the Jetsons!
I loved the Jetsons!!! When I was little there were several space shows on the television. I am sure inspired by the moon walk. As kids we would play 'Lost in Space' another great space show!!! Your hexagons are fantastic! They look like space ships!!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLovely hexies Rachael! Now, you and most of us really do sound like we live like The Jetsons! Whoever would've thought all this whilst we were growing up! Enjoy your hand sewing and have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThe Jetsons take me down memory lane, I need a robot so I can have more sewing time.
ReplyDeleteThe hexagons are gorgeous, that is going to be an amazing quilt.
How stunning are those hexies, I truly admire anyone who has mastered the skill of a needle and thread, another talent you have BMD :)
ReplyDeleteMike Rowave - hee hee! Hadn't ever thought of that one.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are super! It looks like you've been having fun fussy cutting and designing them.
The quilt is going to be beautiful. Barb's is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI always think of The Jetson's when I use Skype.
What a charming post and all those hexies to boot!
ReplyDelete"Meet George Jetson...". I have the song going around in my head now.I loved the show as a kid. I love my washing machine and I love my dishwashing machine & chef even more! (Its hubby. LOL) So glad you got your stitching done. Looking forward to seeing the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a comment. Your kind words encourage me to keep sharing my work and stories.
