Ok, I've never made a hexi before. In fact the only hexis I've seen in person were little English paper piecing ones my sister was hand sewing. She had a bunch of plastic sandwich bags full of them. (Did not look like fun to me, so despite my sister's enthusiasm for those tiny hexis I had no intention of trying them). Along comes the Hexi Blog Hop and again I didn't think I would try it, but there were OLISO iron giveaways and
Quiltscapes blog had just posted a terrific Hexi hot pad. I needed a new iron so badly that I signed up. Unfortunately I didn't win a iron, but I did have fun making a couple hexi projects. My first project was (surprise) a Hexi hot pad :
I made it to go with some placemats and a table runner (pattern called Table for Four)
and a fabric bowl as a gift for my niece.
I love the front fabrics, but the back fabric is fun, too.
My second project was a take off of the hexi hot pad. I made the five hexis without
the insulbrite and sewed them together before finishing the blanket stitch on the curves.

Day 5: Monday, August 26
I apologize that when I signed up for the hop, I didn't realize we would be on vacation with very limited, if any, internet service. I hope I will be able to read the blogs from my phone, but might not be able to comment. I will not be replying to comments left on my blog post, but I want you to know I truly enjoy receiving all your comments. I will be having a giveaway of some fabric (fabric not chosen yet, maybe I will pick something up on vacation). Open to all followers who leave comments. I will chose a winner Sept 9th..
