Comfort zone.

I have been branching out and trying something new this week....nothing like getting out of your comfort zone.

When I went off to the K & S show a few weeks back, I was looking for some of these.....




I really love the diversity of hexagons but have never tried to do them.  If anyone knows a good tutorial on them, please let me know as I want to know if I am doing it right or not.

Fiona had let me know that she buys her hexagons at Paper Pieces.  I gave up after going down  the rows twice with all the lovely polite crowds...so I caved and ordered them on line.

So it isn't fabric...is it! 

I did have an idea for these....My Japanese Charm Swap that arrived a good few weeks ago that I haven't blogged about....some very sweet fabric in that I will use with these hexagons

Now I have moved on to some triangle...I made these myself...a little easier to do than cutting out hexagons.



I hope I am doing these the right way also....again any tips are much appreciated.

What am I using these for? 
 you will have to wait and see...a good 100 to go I think.



 And I love that they all pack away in my lovely frame purse from Christiane (blogged here)

Back to stitching!

  1. I, too, have my first hexagon project started. That is, I have cut and tacked some of the 42 hexagons I need to make a project bag!

  2. I print off a page of hexies and cut them when I need them! I think there are a few different places where you can specify which size hexies you want and just go for it! Though the first ones I did were done with the old compass! It works!

  3. I think Lynne did a good piece on epp'ing hexies etc. I always take my EPP places with me in my purse:it's funny some of the places where you end up sewing!
