One blog post linking with 2 other sites. Firstly I'm joining in over at Anthea's Hibiscus Stitches, 'Piece yourself together', and I'm also linking in with Jess's blog over at Life Under Quilts. Jess is another English Paper Piecing (EPP)/ hexie aficionado, just like me! :-)
Here's a better view of the hexies, all glued and ready to be put into an envelope for mailing.
We mail our hexies to a central point and some busy people will sort them so that everyone in the swap will receive a parcel of hexies back but these will be a selection representing the colours of the rainbow...well if not the whole rainbow at least red, pink, yellow, blue, green and purple. The idea then is to make something with your 'rainbow' hexies.
My latest EPP project has managed to combine 2 of my crafting 'passions'...hexagons and Liberty prints. Last month I signed up for the swap through Instagram; Liberty of London Modern Hexie Swap. Each participant was allocated a colour or two. The 1 inch hexagons had to be made with Liberty Tana Lawn in that colourway/s. We had to make a total of 42 hexies in a variety of prints. Another requirement was that we had to glue the fabric hexagons to the papers. I've mainly only ever stitched the fabric on the papers, so it was good to persevere with another technique. ( and it worked so well with the thicker purchased papers)
My colour allocation was Blues and Purples...
It's been a fun project!
