When I arrived yesterday, mom had already left to go to the airport to pick up my aunt Joy and cousin Andrew.
We settled in to visit and relax while waiting for the call to go meet them in Crouch for the fireworks and festivities ----
I look over to mom’s chair side table – and what do I spy??
A gazillion pre-basted hexies just waiting to be assembled into the project she is working on !
Like Daughter, Like Mother!
Of course I had to spread it out and see how far she’d gotten on it. She is doing scrappy reds, blacks and neutrals.
She is telling me about a hexagon group on facebook she has become involved in --- the woman is hooked hooked hooked!
**Note to self** I do NOT have time to join a hexie group on facebook!!
And to think that her hexie love started just last August on a trip to Minnesota while we were sitting in the dentist’s office waiting for my Aunt to have her tooth fixed!
Like Daughter --- Like Mother!
I really like the hexagon! Many of the seams I'm planning to little time. :) Nice. What will happen?

Bonnie, just repeat..I am my mother after all...lol They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! She is not the only one bitten, you have gotten me started. We are going on vacation next week and I have my papers and starting marking the fabric so that I will have something to work on while we are sitting around talking. I might even get brave enough to work on them while DH is driving! Have a great visit with your family and a great trip to Sister's.
ReplyDeleteI love hexies,too. They are quite addictive. Your mother has made a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteOh that is so pretty. I love the colors she's using.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the group on facebook called? I looked and only found one that was in another language. Sewmuchfabric@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI Have Been Hexed and I Like It is one group of hexers on FB.
DeleteYeah, what is the FaceBook group called? I want to join! :)
ReplyDeleteI was hexed when I saw a picture of yours 1/2 completed. Now working on my first. I may be a grandma by the time it is done (my kids are 10, 8, and 4).
ReplyDeleteMy daughter (10) sat down with me last night and wanted to learn how to sew them. I have her working on flowerettes now. OMG I think she is hexed too. ;-)
I finally started a a hexy project!! Always loved the look of it and decided to start a small project using ... 1/2" hexys!! Yes, I'm lovin' it too, just like your mom!
ReplyDeleteMom's hexie is AWESOME! I love that color combo, and the scrappiness.....beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely Bonnie. Mum's Hexies are wonderful. Please make sure you let her know that when she is finished, she is welcome to send it to Australia - I will look after it for her:)
ReplyDeleteWell done Bonnie's Mum.
Love your Mom's hexies. I'm going to steal her idea of the red hexie in the "corner" for my grandmother's flower garden. Have all the flowers done and all have a red center, so the red in the pathway around will look awesome. I'm just at the point of buying red fabric, so perfect timing. Tell your Mom thanks a ton!!
ReplyDeleteI got the hexie bug . . . again. I made a quilt with 3 inch hexies a few years ago. Loved the process. I think I am ready for a 1 incher! Going to a convention in a few weeks and I need something to keep my hands busy through all the speeches. This will be perfect! I really love, love, love, your hexie quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou and your mother have given me the hexie bug. I have never done any but will try them. I am sure I will be hooked as well. Thank you for all that you share.
ReplyDeleteI have my necktie hexagons packed for our trip next week!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and the design. I've never tried hexies but they sure do look like fun.
ReplyDeleteI too, would like to try hexies. Where do you get the papers???
ReplyDeletePapers are available from http://www.paperpieces.com/.
DeleteThe also have many other different shapes. Fun website.
I would like to know where to get the papers, too.

You have a hip and happen Mom!! Love the colours in her hexies!! P
ReplyDeleteLove that colour scheme :)
ReplyDeleteSweet! Now, you know you will have to keep us updated on your mother's hexie project too! It looks great and love the colors.
ReplyDeleteLynne in Hawaii
Hexie group on facebook????? do tell!!! Your mom's are lovely.. my high school colors!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a 1" hexie WIP. I love it. Also joined the FB hexie group this morning!
ReplyDeleteI am just getting ready to start a hexie project. (Actually it is a star project, but just a new shape, same technique).
ReplyDeleteYou're going to blame all this on a trip to Minnesota! Come on! Next time, hope you can visit some of us in the Twin cities!
ReplyDeleteI recently took a newly-started hexie project on a trip to visit my kids and grandkids. My daughter (who has never showed any interest in sewing) decided to help me baste a few hexes for me and has been hooked ever since. She even bought some beautiful fabrics and is well into her own lap quilt. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is looking good!
