Five Becomes Forty

Back in May of this year I shared a blog post with you about my English paper piecing project...a hand stitching project that I keep around for those times when it's enjoyable to work on something that is easy to take with me anywhere.  In that May post (click here to see May post), I only had five hexie flowers done. Well, I am up to forty now.

Lately I have been working on these in the evening, when hubby and I sit in front of the TV and relax before bedtime. I usually get about two done each evening.

Hand Sewing

About a year ago I wanted to have a small project that was easy to take and work on anywhere I wanted. So I decided to give English paper piecing a try.

This is a hand sewing project that I take with me when I go to guild meetings or when I get together with friends. 

To date I've got five hexagon flowers made.

I pre-cut lots of fabric squares that look good together.

And I made the paper hexagon templates with my Silhouette Cameo.

I have no idea what I will end up making with these hexagon blocks. It could possibly take me many years to have enough for a project of any size. We shall see!
