The guidelines for the Island Batik December Challenge were simple

Any fabric
Technique: English Paper Piecing
And here is my simple response. This cutesy little table runner finished at 12" by 52".

| Paul, the model |
I used Island Batik Neutral Yolk for background (and binding) and various Island Batik fabrics to create the hexie flowers. Neither too big nor too small, I was going to name it Goldilocks but then...Paul suggested that it was "Too Hexie for My Table" and the name stuck.
Did you notice the touch of whimsy? It is in the binding :-)

| Too Hexie for My Table |
Disclosure: The fabrics, thread, batting and needles were generously supplied by the following companies:
I will be sharing with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
Speaking of sharing, the winners of the giveaway are Comments #31 and #67. That is Mari and Nann. They will each receive five fat quarters of Island Batik fabrics from the Bellingham Bay collection by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design. The winners have been informed.

Speaking of Island Batik fabrics, I bought some from Hancock's.
Paul: Didn't they send you two large boxes?
Me: Yes, they did.
Paul: And they also sent you fabrics to make your Masala Box?
Me: Yes, they did.
Paul: So?
Me: I bought other collections. They were on sale :-)

| Melody FQ Bundle |
 |
| Summer Fields FQ Bundle |
Melody and Summer Fields are two yummy collections from Island Batik. At discounted prices, I'd be silly to not get them.
Paul: Was that your Christmas present?
Me: Yes. From me and from you :-p
Paul: How much did you buy?
Me: Two FQ bundles, one pack of 10" squares and some yardage.

Speaking of Christmas presents, I received an overstuffed package from Bernie. It was so stuffed that it looked like a small travel pillow.
And here is what spilled out...

| Yummy Scrappy Goodness!!! |
I don't have to be rich when I am blessed with generous friends. Thank you Bernie. You know I will put these scraps to work right away :-)
Speaking of scraps, I completed my RSC2021 quilt. No, I did not choose pink binding.
It is turquoise but none of the initial choices. You see, the light was too light and the dark was too dark.

| Island Batik Marble Aqua - Just right :-) |
I will be taking pictures of my newest finish this weekend. That blogpost is next. I am so excited!!!
But enough about me. How are you feeling? Overwhelmed with the pressure of impending holidays or relieved that the year is over? Do let me know. Your comments are your Christmas present to me :-)
