It is already time for another Work In Progress Wednesday report.
Hexablooms
I now have a pile of 16 completed blocks for row 16. The fabric for the remaining 11 blocks is prepared, cut, and numbered, awaiting basting and assembling.
Gifts
The luncheon mats are finished. I also made a Swedish 'tablecloth roll'. It is a cardboard tube that has been covered in fabric and used to roll up table runners and the like for storing.
SDGs Mending
While sorting out and packing away winter blankets and flannel bed linens, I discovered that my pillow liner (a plain pillow cover used between the pillow and the pretty pillow cover) was torn.
It's a very old liner, probably from the 1970s, but of high quality and still clean and fresh. Frugal as I am, I thus decided to mend the tear in the same way as I did the tear in my black jacket - by using iron-on tape. I will be able to use the pillow liner for some time yet.

The Swedish tablecloth roll is a great idea! It prevents wrinkles from folding. Hexagon projects take quite a bit of preparation, but it is worth it!
I like your covered roll!
I find that rolling an embroidered or patchwork cloth with the decorated side facing outwards helps prevent wrinkling of the embellished surface.
Great progress!! Good mending idea, that will do the job. And wonderful finish on the Swedish 'tablecloth roll.' That will make storage a breeze.
Your hexablooms are going to take over the world, in a nice way of course ;) They're beautiful.
I'd not heard of a Swedish tablecloth roll, clever idea.
