Hexie Challenge in Red

This week I have made two red hexagons.
Both are made using a motif as their feature.
This fussy cutting is so much fun.
Do send us your photos.
 
     
 
Shirley is making her set in woven Japanese Taupe fabric.
 
 
Elizabeth brought these in for Show and Tell and aren't they stunning - a
pin cushion and needle case made by her mother at least 40 years ago.
 
 
It just goes to show nothing is new - she was fussy cutting back then.
 
 
This is the back of the pin cushion.
 
Our English Paper Piecing Sewing Group starts at the shop tomorrow afternoon so I have an afternoon of sewing and demonstrating Paper Piecing Techniques. - looking forward to that. Back soon.

  1. I love your latest hexagons Robyn. It is so interesting seeing what can done with fussy cutting and a good eye for pattern detail. I also love the taupe hexagon, a lovely subtle take on fussy cutting. The 40 year old samples are wonderful, what great mementos to have for the lucky owner.
