Taking Time to Play --- Minutes for Me!

I have said it before, we need to take time to play and anyway what else would a quilter do on a Saturday?

I received a gift card for Christmas and I decided to use it for some fun stuff!

I bought 3 yards of fabric, a new scissors, and 2 paper punches (2 inch size).

Here's the beautiful fabric. I will use it for something fun! Of course, it is BLUE!

I cut several of each from an assortment of colors.

These will be fun to play with my grandson.

I have been making fabric hexies for an I Spy Game to use with his I Spy Quilt that I made him last year for his 2nd birthday.

I have seen live Skype visits where he plays the matching game and I watched a video of him playing with his cousins, but I can not wait to see him play in real life when I visit him.

These are the ones I sent this week. I can't wait til they arrive. I am sure he will love them. I had to make them in larger sizes so the item would fit on the hexie.

I really had fun with the cardstock hexagons.

Through Skype and when we are together, we can play color and counting games. My grandson speaks Dutch and English. I can also learn some words in Dutch. Like colors and numbers. This will be fun!

I made a card to mail to him next week. I will fill the card with circles and hexagons.
