SheReads: Don't show them our backsides... oops! Eventually The paper will be removed, but until they are sewn together I usually leave them in. #hexies #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: Completed last night, this is the first of my #hexie flowers. #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject Now I need to get busy on today's #hexies!
SheReads: It all began with this fabric, little white hexagons and a clerk @olivejuicequilts in LaCrosse, WI, in 2009. I had recently finished a quilt I had started in junior high. I didn't know what to do next... I knew I enjoyed handwork. The clerk @olivejuicequi
SheReads: Feeling inspired, thank you @dotmeg & @elleluna. For #the100DayProject I'm going to sew at least 7 hexies or a "flower" together each day on a quilt I've been working on for years. On Instagram, I'm going to tell my hand piecing and quilting story over th
SheReads: I bet @timbuk2 never imagined the Travel Taco being used for my travel quilting kit. It's the perfect size for spare #hexies and other #EnglishPaperPiecing necessities. Now if only I had gotten two -- still on the look out for the perfect toiletries bag,
SheReads: Ever wonder what a spool of thread looks like after it's been chewed on? Yesterday #PippaThePunk escaped from her crate and had fun with my sewing kit. Fortunately, none of my #hexies were destroyed! By the way, even though I haven't been posting photos e
SheReads: a sleepy #PippaThePunk means I get my #hexies done... maybe I should start calling her #PippaThePleasant #100daysofhexies #the100dayproject

SheReads: I did an extra one tonight!! I'm ahead of schedule, can you believe it!?!? #the100dayproject #100daysofhexies
SheReads: falling asleep while sewing means only 3 #hexies tonight #the100dayproject #100daysofhexies
SheReads: It's my #hexies house. When I'm not traveling, I like to use this tin for my #EnglishPaperPiecing supplies. I'm not sure how I ended up with it, but I do know it was my Great Grandma Smith's. It started it's life as biscuit tin, but Great Grandma used it

SheReads: Pile o #hexies... 18.5 done, only behind by 1.5! #the100DayProject #100daysofhexies
SheReads: Two and a half #the100DayProject #100daysofhexies #iwillcatchup
SheReads: Two things... 1) These #hexies are small... about 3/4 of an inch on each side. A friend of mine who had seen the photos here, but hadn't seen the #hexies in person was surprised at how small they were. 2) You can see my stitches. This is an early part of
SheReads: Up close and personal... and behind again. I'm ok with it because I know I've gotten more done because I committed to #the100DayProject of #100daysofhexies than if I had just continued doing what I was doing. I'll catch-up and someday this quilt will get
SheReads: Almost caught up... only one photo and one #hexie behind. But sleep calls again and tomorrow I'll have to play catch-up. #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: I'm caught up with #hexies! And Pippa is reasonably worn out... today was a success! #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: I'm a day behind and I'm going to be. Maybe they're will be two tomorrow... maybe the next, but now it's time for bed. I'm worn out, it's hard having a day off! #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: I'm not feeling creative tonight, so this is it... no stories, just #hexies #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: Look at those basting threads. After cutting 3000+ #hexies out of paper I had to cover them with fabric. I had a lot of old thread... the hot pink was from a sewing project in junior high, a t-shirt I hated, because I had to add a black yoke after the ser
SheReads: Slowly, but surely... we added a new dog to our family today and my #hexies aren't getting the attention I had planned... only three left then it's bedtime. #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject
SheReads: How does one count #hexies without counting hexies? You weigh them, kind of like tickets at an arcade. When I started, I wanted this quilt to be a throw, but a BIG throw like queen size bed size throw, which requires 3000+ hexies. #100daysofhexies #the100
SheReads: What happens when you aren't paying attention? You sew two sides of the #hexies together. #the100dayproject #100daysofhexies
