My first hexi flowers are done!
I have been lurking around The Inchy Hexagon Flower Swap blog for a year and finally decided to take the plunge. The hand sewing and quality expected were intimidating me in the beginning. But, once I started I realized this is just tedious work, not difficult work. These are already in the mail on their way to Oklahoma, to Erica, my January partner.
Erica requested her flower petals be made from fabrics printed with stripes. She is anticipating her flowers having the appearance of a kaleidoscope. The one with the dark red center is fussy cut from a winter themed border print with snowmen, berry garlands, strings of popcorn. The other is a cute, relatively new print with cute little snails. When I saw them all in straight little lines, I was hoping the lines would become apparent once fussy cut and sewn together. What do you think?
I am now sewing together two hexis for myself. Stay tuned!

Erica should be very happy to receive those beautiful flowers. They definitely have the appearance of a kaleidoscope. Beautiful!!
Love them. I adore hexies. Possibly a swap for Hand-Dids? I could handle hosting this one I think.
