Because................................................I got my Oh-so-worth-the-wait-even-though-I-was-an-utterly-impatient-lady-in-waiting PACKAGE (way too small a word to describe this beauty of booty loot) - for the handsome hexies swap...
from the entirely awesome high priestess of much originality and downright awe inspiring crafter lady of complete and utter goodness - CATHY GAUBERT!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we should just all sack Santa and employ Cathy for the post instead and the world will just be the happiest place it has ever been. What do you think?? Want a closer look?......
Never has a hexagon been so utterly adorable!!!
Look at all the stitches in this quilted hexagon!
Fabric prints of some of Cathy's designs...............
I don't think I will be doing anything today except quite a lot of fawning over, stroking and smiling insanely.
Santa - you are going to have to work VERY hard indeed to keep your job sir, you have been warned.........

how cute! enjoy your gifts and don“t sack santa yet... wait until January...

Well you're blog posts have encouraged me to try hexies for the first time. I've also seen you mentioned in this month's Sew Hip, so that's 2 months running at least for your fab skills :)
