Hand Sewing

This is what I sewed on 7-6-13, for Sew Every Day Challenge in July with Pat Sloan. I didn't have time to post this yesterday.

 


I started to sew my hexies together.  I really enjoy hand sewing I don't seem to do have time to do much of it, but this weekend was the perfect time. While in the car.

Sewing Hexies

Yesterday I sewed a couple Hexies in the car.

 Here's my thread and scissors in the cubbies in the door of the car.

This is what I have been sewing tonight. Not a lot of time. Been spending time with family today at the zoo.

Tomorrow we head back home.  I'll post more tomorrow night. Have a great night. 

Tutorial for making Hexagons from circles

On March 7th at my Guild meeting I will be doing the Tips and Techniques.
We have been talking about Hexagons so I thought that I would do some different views of creating them.

The first one will be creating a Hexagon from a Circle...

First you will need a 5" Square .... Fold in half

 Don't throw away the extra... I will show what I did with that later.

 

 

Here's what you can do with those extra pieces...

 

Add another 5" square under the extra.

 

Create a small quilt with it...

Here's the front

 

 

Here's that back..

Wasn't that fun....it was easy...
