Crazy Quilting finished

And now to add all the other bits and pieces

I took a while to figure out the best options for my initials and date. But I finally figured it out

I decided it needed to be bead embroidery for the initials. But the date was too small for that. Stem stitch was not going well for it either. In the end I chose back stitch











I am so pleased with this

Hexagon 2 Crochet Pattern – UK Terms

Hexagon 2 crochet pattern

Hexagon 2 crochet patternHexagon 2 crochet pattern


Hexagon 2 crochet pattern



This pattern was created to make a blanket for a girl that was attacked terribly. I wanted to do something special for her. So I created a hexagon for people to add to the blanket

Read more about it here:  https://craftcove.blogspot.com/2018/01/hexes-against-bullies.html


First I made this pattern here. But decided it might be too much for every hexagon to be the same, and some people might find it too difficult. So I created this other plain one. 


This pattern is available to everyone for free. But I ask you not to share it, or claim it as your own, but feel free to share the link from here. I also ask you to please think about bullying, and the terrible effect it has on people, while making it
