Handpiecing Hexie's.

This is a 1930's Grandmother's Garden unfinished. 
A friend from our Wed Bee group (Cabin Branch Quilter's, Virginia) gave it to one of the girls,
who in turn gave it to me.
She knew I love hexie's, all the pieces are hand pieced.  I didn't know that you can put hexie's together by sewing them together on your machine, may have to try that later.  I am slowly finishing this quilt (slowly).
This is what I work on when sitting and needing something to do.  
If you are hand piecing something I hope you will leave a comment.

In another note, we are surviving the summer heat and the days of rain last week.  Yesterday was a gorgeous day.  This morning was so nice, you could sit outside with a cool breeze and enjoy it. 

Till next time Happy Stitching

  1. I too hand stitch my hexies. I have never tried to machine piece it. Maybe one day I will be curious enough to give it a go! ??! To do it by hand is very slow but so much more reward I think. Yours will be a lovely quilt. Hang in there.

  2. Hi RoseMary, I tried to reply to the lovely comment you left on my blog Blueberry Patch but you show up as a no reply blogger to me, meaning your email address is hidden. Perhaps you can adjust your settings. There are lots of tutorials if you google, no reply blogger. Have a super day and I hope to post a tutorial on how to cover a binder, once I perfect it a bit more!

  4. How lucky you are to inherit these blocks! Someday I hope to find some old blocks... I've never machine sewed hexies because I like their portability but it's definitly an option.

    (PS - I corrected your link in my Hexie Linky Party to link to this post instead of your blog-in-general --> that way weeks down the road people can find this post and not have to dig for it. Let me know if you need help next time =^..^=)

  6. I have done a minimal amount of hexies ( for pillows ) so I know that they are time-consuming but oh so lovely in the end :)
