Last night it stormed too much for me to get on the computer, so I worked on my quilt journal and made a small silk art piece for it. Earlier in the day I had printed out a free English paper piecing template for hexagons, and I used the 2.5" size to trace out and cut up about thirty or so from an old file folder. Then I made my very first hexie out of scrap fabric, just to see what it entailed.
It wasn't difficult, although I had to go back and reread a tutorial on how to make them, and watch a video on how to take out the cardboard template. So I'm going to make some hexies on the side out of my scraps, and see if this can help make a dent in them.
Watch me grow. :)

I am not a fan of doing hexagonals. Not that I don't like them, but they frustrate me. I like that little piece though!
As to the new blogger interface, it sucks. I can't do a thing anymore with my old site which I thought to resurrect and start using again, more because it's free than anything else. But I might go back to Wordpress and give them another shot. At least there, I can change things around. :/
