HEXIE TIME

I've been working on hexies for GFG blocks this week.  This is for a swap where we each send a fat eighth to each participant.  They use your fabric (and others they might add) to make a block representing themselves.   In return you receive many different 6" blocks all with your common fabric.

I'm using GFG to represent me.  I have 6 grands for the 6 petals.  I'm nana in the middle.

PAINT STRIPS?

 

These hexie strips remind me of quilters paint chips. 

And that I need a manicure and some good wrinkle cream!

PLAYING WITH HEXIES

I'm playing with hexies this morning.  What do you think?  I'm going to try switching a few and taking another pic.  Cameras really help us 'see' things.

All but the last row of these I basted at guild yesterday.  It's amazing how much you can get done if you take hand work along.  I need to have more prepped for Dr. office, etc.

Hope everyone gets some stitching time in today

GHQA

With all my hexie efforts lately, I was so happy to see that The Great Hexagon Quilt-Along is still active.  Yippie!  What a neat place to get ideas and inspiration.  You can link to it here.

Sew Prim Khris is the originator, and her blog is here

So many projects, so little time!.

HEXIES

Here they are -- 18 sets of 6 hexies, all ready to jump in the mail to swap.  These were to quick and easy to do. 

I think I'll be stitching a table topper with mine.  I don't see an entire GFG quilt in my future, but you never know.

HEXIES

The past few evenings I've been working on hexies.  These are stitched to the papers.  I'm making these to trade with friends so I'm using the prescribed method.  It is very easy and mindless to stitch these while watching tv -- very relaxing.

But really, I think from now on I'll use Inklingo, where the first stitches you take are stitching the hexies together, eliminating the need for the paper pieces.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  I have a Stashbusters group at the LQS, as well as a First Communion for my Grandson, Devon.
