Hexies

September 8, 2013 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 10 Comments

Usually I have so many project ideas bouncing around in my head, the part part is deciding which project to make first. Life has been busy lately and I haven’t found as much time to be creative. When I do find a bit of time, I sit looking at my stash and don’t quite know where to start. It has been a while since I have had “bloggers block” but given that we have been blogging now for over 5 1/2 years, it is bound to arise every now and then.

This weekend I made a stack of hexies using some pretty florals, ginghams, and polka dots (the same fabrics I used in the Pretty Box Pouch). They are very relaxing to make and working with the pretty fabrics has given me a great idea on how best to use them. I am finally excited about a project again and can’t wait to progress it along.
The hexies are going to be incorporated into a project which will be perfect for Christmas gift giving.
Stay tuned!

    I am so pleased that someone else has the same problem as me. I buy these lovely fabric bundles and never quite know what to make using all the collection. Last week I took the plunge and separated all the fat quarters into colour piles, I have actually used some of them so will do that in future.

    I notice your basting stitches go thru the paper to the front? Then how in the world do you remove the paper? Also, need to learn how to sew them together? Just started making hexies as a travel project. Thanks for any help.
