  5. Oh my goodness, Clare, all of your projects are wonderful! I can't believe how far along you are on your hexies. Gorgeous! I am waaaay behind in emails but haven't forgotten you, will email soon!

    I love the canoe that your DH built. My dad built one by himself that we used to take to a local lake and use. Good memories. I often wondered how an only child raised in NYC learned wood working but it is definitely a talent.

  6. Everything looks wonderful Clare! I'm so jealous of your hexi quilt. I've made some petals, but haven't sewing them together yet. I love your Tilda doll too. A friend made one for me and I just treasure it so much. All your work is just lovely!
