I've Caught the Bug!

The hexie bug that is! After admiring all the beautiful hexie flowers in blogland I just had to give it a go for myself.


I plan to use fabrics from lots of different ranges in shades of pink, green, red and white.



I have found lots of inspiration and helpful hints in here ...



So far I've finished eight hexie flowers and have many more cut out ready to sew.


 Much as I love stitchery, it's nice to have something a little different to work on in the evenings.


 Only 131 flowers to go ... I could be doing this for quite awhile!

    Your hexies look beautiful. I haven't tried making one. It just looks too fiddly and the flowers grow way too slowly for me. Good rainy day project though.

    Welcome to the hexie fans! :-)
    Your fabrics are very beautiful! I like the fussy cutting in the middle of the flowers.

    I haven't caught this bug yet, but I am about ready. Are you cutting your own templates? I am having trouble finding them.

    If you had to catch a bug, the hexie bug is a good one to catch. It hasn't gotten me yet but nips at my heels often.
