The hexagons are from one and a half inch squares of fabric. I had to break into those Katie Jump Rope fabrics somehow. I won some of these scraps at Meg's blog, the Mad Quilting Librarian, a few weeks back. I figure out how to baste them properly from Melanie at Texas Freckles.When basting, you don't go through the paper template. Whoops!
The rest of my lovelies are finished at 3" or 4". I varied the sizes based on the initial scrap. I "framed" them with neutral linen.
One of them became a pincushion last night.
I have a red and aqua scrap project I'll share with you next week. Maybe these will morph into something fun other than a bunch of pincushions. My book giveaway is still going on here.
Go visit em's scrapbag and see what the other happy scrapper's are doing.
These are fabulous!!!! What a sweet pincushion. Thanks for joining in the fun!
ReplyDeleteholey cow these are uber cute!
ReplyDeleteall cute stuff Kristen!
ReplyDelete(and uh oh... I didn't know you didn't go through the fabric!) ;)
Like tiny gems. :-)
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so cute! I want to play around with my scraps now!
ReplyDeleteSweet hexies, even sweeter little pinnie! Where do you find the 'not through the paper' basting tute? I just had a look around Melanie's blog to no avail....
ReplyDeleteYour tiny little treasures are so adorable!!! I am really loving the linen "frames".
ReplyDeleteIn reference to Poppyprint's question, I think I was wrong. Melanie thread does go through the hexie paper. She do have adorable hexies! I am not sure where I saw it now, but it sure saved cutting out templates!
ReplyDeleteLots of people do stitch right through the hexagon paper--I think they stitch faster that way, but then you have to remove those stitches later. I also use the method where you don't stitch through the paper. Great work!
ReplyDeleteI have been looking for pincushion inspiration (my girls snipped holes in mine) but havent seen anything that caught my fancy. That last picture did it, a ticker tape pincushion. thanks.
