Hexies

April Goals! A Lovely Year of Finishes

ALYoF2014April Showers bring May Flowers…right? Gosh I hope so since I will be starting to work on my garden this month!  I will also be working on the Modern She Made Swap on Flickr that I am in. This time the project has to include hexies, and thanks to the wonderful Shanna, I found out and was accepted into the swap.

These are my EPP templates and my layout – the background is going to be a surprise for now…

My partner likes scrappy and rainbows so these are my fabric pulls.

Hexie Obsession

I have a new obsession – and it is one that I can do in front of the TV at night without much need for brain power – which is good because at the end of the day I am seriously lacking in brain power!

Hexies! I bought 2 charm packs of Simply Color by V & Co from Quilting Lodge. Cut one of them into quarters and I started basting. The pictures that follow show about 1/2 of the squares – just over 100 hexies.

Ok, I admit it, I had a lot of fun photographing my hexies – sorry for all the pictures 🙂

Are you wondering yet what I am planning on doing with all these hexies?

When I went to The Intrepid Thread last weekend I bought some stunning Essex Linen by Kaufman. I am planning on using the hexies and the linen to make some new pillows for my bedroom. I’m sure my husband will just LOVE the girly colors – LOL.

Here are a couple designs I have been playing with:

At this point I have way more hexies than I need for my pillows but I am enjoying making them, so I might stop when I have one whole charm pack made…we’ll see!

What have you all be working on?

On Monday I am going to share with my Sewing/Quilting New Years Resolution list!
