A new riff on Mollie's Spring Embroidery Hexies

I have been away but busy.  I continue to work on the spring hexie embroidery designs I downloaded for free from Wild Olive's wonderful, generous blog.

I made the flower rings as Mollie suggested but then I thought I would applique the flower rings on to a larger hexagon

I used the tried and true newspaper and made my own templates  for the hexagons.

Soon I had a dozen done...

So pretty.  I am not sure where this is going....stay tuned.

Hexie Trivets Done

Look at these.  I was sooo pleased with the colours I chose.  The fabrics are almost all from the Ohh-la-la line by Dana Brooks of Lazy Daisy Cottage for Henry Glass & Co.  Get a load of this:

Aren't they sweet.  I used the pattern from Patchwork Please!  The beginnings are here.

Just Delightful!

Patchwork Please!

I got a copy of Patchwork Please! by Ayumi Takahashi.  Ever so cute.  The subtitle is 'colorful Zakka projects to stitch and give'.  It is full of really delightful ideas.  As a hexagon lover, I couldn't resist her design called, 'Happy Hexagon Trivet'.

I just photocopied the pattern and started adding fabric...

It's going well.  I will let you see more pictures soon.
