Another Runner!

In Sewing World this month, I submitted my Half Hexie Table Runner!

If you have a cute charm pack and 2 long quarter metres you can have this runner top made in no time!

Don't worry, there are no tricky 'Y' seams in this pattern. I used the 5" half hexie ruler to chop up my charm squares (Marmalade, by Bonnie and Camille). (Sizzix also sell a 5" half hexie cutting die).

I love this runner and it sits proudly on my dining room table now!

And if you like your hexies a little bigger, try the 10" half hexie ruler and you can make a quilt using the same construction method.

April issue of Sewing World is in the shops now!

Happy 'running'!

Hexie-licious!

My Hexie Quilts class finished this evening!

Just look at all this hexie goodness:

Half Hexie Quilts - Beginner

Hexie Stars Quilt - Advanced Beginner

Aren't they fabulous!

There are a couple more that I didn't get pictures of, but trust me, they are every bit a beautiful as these!

The pattern for both Hexie designs is available here in my Etsy shop!

Hexies and Stars!

Now that my new programme of classes is out, I can finally tell you about all the stuff I've been working on.

Today I'll show you my hexie quilts.

Finished size 56" x 60"

You may remember seeing this one during construction.

I used the Missouri Star Quilting company half hexie ruler and chopped up a whole layer cake (Kate Spain - Sunnyside).

This was quilt no.2 using this ruler (you can see no.1 here).  I used a donated vintage sheet on the back, which goes perfectly with the soft sunny tones of the fabrics on the front.

This is a really simple quilt to make.  So for those who like a little more of a challenge in their quilts, I present the hexie stars quilt.

Finished size: 56" x 52"

Still using the half hexie ruler, but this time the layer cake squares (Noteworthy, Sweetwater) are kept whole, with navy triangles added to the corners to create a starry secondary pattern.

Both of these quilts could be easily enlarged with the addition of borders.

Hexies of all shapes and sizes are a particular favourite of mine, and lend themselves to lots of fun quilting designs.  I hope you like them too!
