I started making hexies about a month or so ago. You can see the post on that here.
I was urged to start because Judy offered me a free quilt if I would make a store sample of The Grandmother's Flower Quilt. I was hesitant at first because I haven't done much hand sewing in the past and was not sure how it would all turn out... especially if it was going to be a store sample!
Anyway... after a quick lesson I was hooked and I think my hand sewing is not so bad either. :)
We're making Grandmother's Flower Garden Kits in 1930's Reproduction Fabrics and Brights. And I'm doing the brights. They are the cutest kits. I almost want to buy them just so I can get my hexie papers and squares in a pretty package!
I'm thread basting but there's this neat new Bohin Glue Stick that I want to try out.
We're releasing two a week so there will be more of this. I'm thinking of going with a Kona White and doing hexagons all around for the background. What do you think?

Your hexagons look absolutely perfect! Your sewing is fantastic. :)
ReplyDelete:) Thank You Bethany. I had a good teacher. :)

I think your fabrics will look fantastic against Kona white. :)
ReplyDeleteY'know... I tried it against the white and it didn't look too good... so... don't know... I tried it against the new Kona Citrus which was interesting! Let's see.
DeleteI made my first hexies this summer too and it is so much fun! I do have a gluestick (from Sewline) and it really speeds up the process. So I recommend trying it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Marit. :) Yes the gluestick is definately something I should get.
DeleteAwesome hexies, but I think anything but white would make it a real feast.
ReplyDelete:) Thanks.
