Mini (3cm hexies) hexagon patchwork of little apples and little tortoises appropriately slow progress…
Just a peak at some 3cm hexagon patchworking in progress made with English Paper Piecing and many tiny-weeny stitches from Aneela Hoey Little Apples Moda fabric.
Skull and dots, teal hexagon cushion is finished and in my Etsy shop!
As a clumsy, wine-spilling, chocolate-crumbing kind of girl envelope backs are the way for me. And as a sofa-snoozing, sometime weekend hangover-ing type I have no time for uncomfortable cushions either. Buttons? Pah. Zips? Ugh… under your tired junk-TV watching face? Yuck. Pompom trim? Please no. Squishy, soft and comfy? Yes, thanks.
Little Miss B wanted bunting, but I’m afraid I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Instead I made her a cushion. I tried to use all of her favourite colours, it taught me a lesson about taking commissions.
All this effort for a child - I hope she likes it!
Skull patchwork this time in teal and grey softness…
I’m really not as obsessed with skulls as may be coming off here!
The blue-black polka dot pattern is actually a nightmare to match with anything so this has been kicking around for AGES. Finally it’s appliqued and shadow quilted onto burgundy cotton. Now that I’ve learned to quilt-as-you-go it’s destiny is finally decided too…*watch-this-space
(*well once a couple of other projects are off the heap!).
My first patchwork hexagons are now getting worked up into completed pieces and (for all their imperfections) I’m so proud of them.
It’s a good thing that I love teeny tiny stitches as I have a LOT of appliquéing to do!
Skulls, flowers, dots and wiggly lines. Feels somehow hypnotic doesn’t it?
Since I decided to use the blue and white lines from Seamstar I cannot wait to get back to working on this one and deciding what to do with it next!
