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

Completed last night, this is the first of my #hexie flowers. #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject Now I need to get busy on today's #hexies!

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

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

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,

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

a sleepy #PippaThePunk means I get my #hexies done... maybe I should start calling her #PippaThePleasant #100daysofhexies #the100dayproject

I did an extra one tonight!! I'm ahead of schedule, can you believe it!?!? #the100dayproject #100daysofhexies

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

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

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

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

I'm caught up with #hexies! And Pippa is reasonably worn out... today was a success! #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject

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

I'm not feeling creative tonight, so this is it... no stories, just #hexies #100daysofhexies #the100DayProject

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

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

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

What happens when you aren't paying attention? You sew two sides of the #hexies together. #the100dayproject #100daysofhexies
