Cabin fever is no match for hexi makin’! I’ve got, perhaps, 24 hexi flowers put together so far. I think I’ll need another 40+ to consider an arty quilt!

Have you ever heard of English paper piecing? I’ve decided to try this and see how it turns out; you take a hexagonal card stock template, or really any geometric shape will do, and then you fit a piece of material over it-enough to overlap. Then you fold and baste the cloth overlap on the back of the template. There are millions of different ways to create! You can take 7 and form flowers. By the time I get bored with one “flower,” I’m on to the next. Great use of scrap fabrics! This might become a quilt one day.

My friend wanted a painting of pears. I got it done for her birthday and it was a daunting experience. I don’t generally paint, but I enjoyed doing this. She loves abstracts and she loves color. And thank heavens, she LOVED this! 😅
