Stitching up a hexie storm

I've finished my hexies and have packed them all up to go off in today's post. I really hope my partner likes them. I wasn't able to use my favourite colours (!) which were in my partner's dislikes so I raided my stash for any little scrap which might fit into their likes.


A few little extras snuck their way in.

The completed stack.


It's been a fun swap and I've really enjoyed the hand sewing. I sat out in the sun last week during my lunch breaks at work & whipped up a few of these, very relaxing.
I've ordered more pre-cut papers from Patchwork with Busyfingers and will be trying my hand at some other shapes when they arrive. I went all out & bought some acrylic templates as well to make fussy cutting easier.

I'm so glad to see English paper piecing coming back. I've done a tumbling block totally by hand and now I'm using trapezoids to do a pinwheel. I love how relaxing it is. I love your little hexes - the fabrics are great!

I ove your hexes - soooo pretty - I love your new fabrics from Pink Chalk and I love your blog too - also intrigued - what other paper piecing templates have you ordered? That's what we have in common - paper piecing - I'm addicted!
