Hexapin HEXAMANIA!!!!!!!

Thursday, October 1st, 2009
I have folded 120 hexagons this past week
and worked on putting some of the hexapins together.
It’s like a one person factory line. I go from station to station.
The Folding Station (aka dining room table)

What has this Hexamanic been up to?????

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Working on Hexapins!!!!!!! I purchased a bunch of buttons on E-bay.
Now I am matching which buttons look on a which folded hexagons.
Some of the buttons are pretty fun.

Here is a close of a Hexapin in its package already
to help fight when the Hexamania Bug starts infecting quilters.
Here is a group shot.

Is there a cure for a "Hexamanic"?

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009
The Hexamania continues. I have been folding 4 1/2″ hexagons out of all different colored batiks and they will be used for…..
“Hexapins“.

And you may be wondering what I am going to do with all these “Hexapins“.

A Hexamanic can never have to many “Hexapins”.
But really…………..
I am going to take them with to Houston to sale to unsuspecting quilters that are just waiting to be bitten by the “Hexabug“.

On Saturday Anne and I traveled to Hershey, PA for Quilt Odyssey for an outstanding show. Pictures from the show in a couple of days. While in Pennsylvania I purchased some wonderful batiks that were just asking to be made in to “Easy Does It Hexabags“.

One of the vendors was The Crazy Quilter owned by Alicia Whitehouse. What a delightful stop. She was selling these wonderful buttons. As soon as I saw them I knew that they would be the perfect embellishments for my new “Hexabags“. The buttons are so new that they are not on her website yet so you can just email (thecrazyquilter@charter.net) her to purchase them.

Well – back to the Hexastone (aka grind stone).

I have joined a group blog and just completed my first post on this blog. This blog is dedicated to hexagon lovers. Do you think I qualify? This first post is pictures of various hexagon projects that I have made. Most of these pictures have never made it on my blog. So, if you are intersted, stop by.

Thanks and have a GREAT evening!
