PatV82 Hexie Projects
Pat is our first swapper to submit photos of her projects. Thanks, Pat!
This was the first project I did with "our" hexies. The tote bag itself is canvas, I lined the upper inside with a sash of hexies, both sides of the canvas have a hexie flower on it (sewn down onto the canvas).
I also did a checkbook cover (photo #3) and a little phone purse (which I misplaced in my move last year). So these 3 photos are for 1 project.
I used black & white hexies to make 2 very large mugrugs/mats. The first one went to JLu with the Anything Goes mugrug swap in January 2015. The second one went to my Secret Sister (KBlue) as part of the 2015 Secret Sister Swap. I also gave her all the rest of my black & white hexies to start a project. What is harder to see (thank goodness) is my finishing. I put temtex on the inside to make it stiff, so I ended up just doing a zigzag stitch around the outsides.

2016. You will get one ticket for each photo sent and the winner will be drawn

that’s awesome!

at the above address. We hope to have lots of previous players show us what
their hexie projects!
19th Hexie Poll-Vote Now!
Time to select our themes for the 19th Hexie Swap! The due date is late enough so that you don't have to worry about making hexies during the holidays (unless you want to!).
Email me your top THREE choices to 2013hexagonswap@gmail.com. The poll will stay up until
November 28, 2015; the official sign ups begin immediately and ends on December
19, 2015. In order to give you PLENTY
of time, the swap is due in my hand no
later than February 6, 2016.
Guidelines would be the same as the previous swaps, but always
feel free to contact me if you have any questions on fabrics. You can check out
the blog at http://hexagonswap.blogspot.com/ for past swap
guidelines. We are looking for small prints to make the most of our hexie
quilts.
The terrific gals at Paperpieces have been kind enough to extend
their 20% discount for all merchandise purchased (shipping not included in the
discount). Visit their website at http://www.paperpieces.com/
