Hexie Weekend plus Template Giveaway
Finally (and actually I wanted to make some progress to show you - see why Hexie Weekend is so vital to me), I was brave enough today to tackle mitering the corners of Soupçon's Part 5 border. Thanks to Karen's directions and Judy in her video of self binding a receiving blanket, they turned out okay! In fact, I found a trick to making sure I was sewing the seam in the right direction - the seam and the folded center make a flying goose:
See the goose? The folded center is under the border piece on left and the seam is on the right.
Once I had all four mitered corners done, I placed my four hexie flowers on the border - more to come. I'm liking what I've done so far.
Show us your progress - hexie or otherwise. We like to see any eye candy - old, new or a pattern you just bought. Linky below. Ends Monday, midnight. Oh and for linking you have a chance to win 100 paper hexie templates (3/4" sides) so you can try EPP. Thank you Mary Huey for telling me about this! I saw it on her blog. I was able to buy the Fiskar hexagon punch - I got the large one - (found in the scrapbooking section at Jo-Ann's) for 65% off. Woohoo! It's so easy to make them with my new tool and the blow in cards from magazines. Remember any post or photo link will work.
