My progress on my Pieced Hexie quilt is coming along......this month I am Queen Bee in the Get Your Hex on Quilting Bee. 4 blocks are back from the busy bees...the bow tie and baseball near the bottom right corner came all the way from Switzerland! ( I kinda name them, silly I know). Every time I finish a block I have a new favorite.
You can see the rest on my Flickr page and check out our group too. So many talented ladies, I can't wait to see what's in store for us next month.
I did get some more basting done this weekend and it will take me all week to sew these 2 inch babies together. I love my mini design board from Lori Holt's tutorial, it's so easy to carry around and the pieces don't get mixed up or fall off. It does catch A LOT of thread....not so pretty in the pictures, but I still love it. I will say don't iron on it cuz I scorched my other one duh! Iron too hot!!
Off to play with my fabric.... Happy Sewing, K
Those hexies are adorable! & I love the mini design wall idea- brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, I can't take credit for the design board but I do love it too!
DeleteAll those hexies are so cute! The mini design board is great, thanks for linking to the tutorial! Thank you for linking up to Let's Get Acquainted this week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Taryn for hosting this week glad you had the time to stop by!!
DeleteLove seeing your hexies- very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth! Glad you stopped by for a visit!
DeleteYour hexies are just beautiful! I keep thinking that I should make one of the design boards. They are pretty and useful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah! You definitely should make the design boards!! I used the leftover from my daughters science project! I totally love them...
DeleteLove those pieced hexies. I would love to give them a go but I really don't think my patience would extend far enough!
ReplyDeleteSue you can do it! Stop by Hillbilly Handiworks blog and check out her pieced hexies.... You can buy the paper pieces by the set and flow along with a group on Flickr.
DeleteTotally love those hexies, but what a lot of work. You are dedicated!
ReplyDeleteJessica I agree it's a lot of dedication but with my bee mates it will be much easier. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
DeleteThis is a really cheery hexi quilt - so much EPP! I have been eyeing some EPP for myself. Your little tuturial on EPP is very helpful and is giving me the push to want to cut some hexis out and start with some fabric I think would look pretty cute. Lovely blog and lovely EPP - will definitely be following in the future!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog! You should definitely try the EPP, it is so addicting and a small project is totally manageable. I did a cosmetic bag with a 12x19 piece in Flirt and I love it.
DeleteLovely little hexies! :) I have been wanting to learn how to make/piece hexies.. there are so many things I want to learn, though, we'll see when I actually get to it! That's going to be a fantastic quilt!
ReplyDeleteAnna you should give EPP a try! It is too fun and I love a portable project to keep my hands busy...
DeleteThese are amazing! I have never seen anything like this. I need to check out your Flickr group!
ReplyDeleteHi Kristin, Love your hexies!! Do you piece them by hand?
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheri, yes all by hand but it goes really quick and I work on them on the weekends and sometimes at night while watching tv. Some nights I'm just too tired from work....
DeleteYour hexies have blown me away. They are beyond fabulous.
