My First Hexie
I didn't really know what I was doing when I started sewing this. I picked up a hexagon paper and the first piece of fabric I saw and started stitching.
My enthusiam was spurred when I got my .75" hexagons in the mail--all 750 of them! When I saw them, they seemed so small. I was worried that I had ordered the wrong size, but have since learned this is one of the most common sizes (did I know that when I ordered? who knows!)
I'm getting used to their size. I am not used to the handstitching the hexies together. I find it a little hard to get the stitches through the front hexie and back hexie. But that's getting better too.
I have also decided that I am following the pattern of Martha Washington's Flower Garden. And I'm hooked.
