**NOTE** This Give-Away has ended! Congrats to our winner! Be watching for more Give-Aways coming up soon!
There is a new e-magazine available for download!
If you love your kindle, your ipad, your cell phone or your laptop – this magazine is for you!
When I was asked by Julia Wood if I would participate in a blog hop for the release of her premier issue on Joomag, I of course said YES!
You know I have been working with hexagons since the mid 1990s.
The first grandmother’s flower garden quilt was made with 1.5” hexies, traced with a template, cut with scissors and hand stitched with a 1/4” seam allowance in the traditional hand piecing method. This project occupied hours and hours of time while waiting on the side lines for things like swimming lessons, soccer practice, baseball practice and games, and gymnastics while my boys were growing up.
I hand quilted that quilt and learned how nasty warm & natural is to hand quilt with….NEVER NEVER AGAIN! HA!
I started the large project below in 1999 when my grandmother’s health was failing and I was needing something to occupy not only my waiting time but my travel time:
Notice that date? 2012!
It took me nearly 14 years to finish this top, it was off again, on again and then became my ONLY traveling project.
Hexies are SO easy to work with on the go, as long as you do a bit of prep work ahead of time and keep your busy bag at the ready!
You can find my hexie tutorial HERE.
This top is now ready for quilting – but my life is too busy to do the hand quilting I want to do on it at this time. I searched for a completed photo ---there is one here somewhere on the blog, but I couldn't find it!
Of course once you are hexie-hooked you can’t stop, and within a few weeks of finishing this top, I started another.
Progress to date:
Fill in section #5 of 6 slowly growing as I travel!
It's taken me nearly 2.5 years to get to this point.
Now, this post isn't just about me and my love of hexies – it’s about the release of a brand new book MORE Quick &Easy Hexie Quilts by Julia Wood!
Fun fun fun!
Note from Julia:
This is my second book using the circle technique for making hexies.
It includes 10 patterns for quilts and related items.
Complete instructions are given for making hexies from circles of fabric.
The patterns in the book can be made with ANY hexagon technique, including English paper piecing.
And ESPECIALLY about the release of the online Magazine, HEXIE LOVE!
A hello from Julia!
Table of Contents! These are the goodies you will find in the issue!
Are you itchin’ to be stitchin’ ??
This quilt is called Odyssey!
About Odyssey:
Center medallion of the progressive quilt, ODYSSEY, which is patterned in parts within each issue of this year’s Hexie Love – By the end of the year, a subscriber will have all the step in the pattern.
Julia and the nitty gritty about Hexie Love:
I started Hexie Love at the beginning of this year. I wear ALL the hats in the production process – I’m the editor, manager, etc. At this point it is only digital.
Hexie Love includes articles by talented hexagon quilt artist from all over the world. There is always a scrappy hexie pattern, a small hexie project or two, a book review, and lots more hexagon inspiration!
There are 6 issues per year priced at $5.99 each. A year’s subscription is $26.99.
For more information on MORE Quick & Easy Hexie Quilts AND Hexie Love Magazine, visit Julia’s Blog.
To celebrate kicking off this blog hop, we are having a giveaway for a free digital issue of HEXIE LOVE!

I'd love to see the new e-magazine. I have made several large hexie quilts, and am totally addicted!-Lynn Miller
I love the look of hexies so I bought a package of little plastic templates but I still haven't used them. I think I am getting inspired by seeing what you have made so maybe I will start some hexies of my own soon!
Wow, finally, a hexie mag.

I haven't tried hexies yet-if I win that will be a sign that it is time I try them!
I love hexies, just haven't found the courage to start a hexie quilt yet. Someday I will ;-)
I'm late to reading the blog hop, but I'm enjoying catching up :-) Please sign me up for the drawing for the Hexie Love e-mag - it looks awesome. Thank you!

Great idea, an E-Magazine. It will project so well on my 'smart tv'. Watching full screen, wonderful. I have been teaching hexi's for a year to anyoneone who will pick up a piece of hexi paper (from Paper Pieces), needle, and thread.
Am here to testify what this great spell caster done for me. i never believe in spell casting, until when i was was tempted to try it. i and my husband have been having a lot of problem living together, he will always not make me happy because he have fallen in love with another lady outside our relationship, i tried my best to make sure that my husband leave this woman but the more i talk to him the more he makes me fell sad, so my marriage is now leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. so with all this pain and agony, i decided to contact this spell caster to see if things can work out between me and my husband again. this spell caster who was a woman told me that my husband is really under a great spell that he have been charm by some magic, so she told me that she was going to make all things normal back. she did the spell on my husband and after 5 days my husband changed completely he even apologize with the way he treated me that he was not him self, i really thank this woman her name is Dr Aluta she have bring back my husband back to me i want you all to contact her who are having any problem related to marriage issue and relationship problem she will solve it for you. her email is traditionalspellhospital@gmail.com she is a woman and she is great. wish you good time.

(5) If you want a child.
(6) You want to be rich.
(7) You want to tie your husband/wife to be yours forever.
(8) If you need financial assistance.

Can't wait to see your second hexie quilt finished! I've been following Julia's blog for some time now but haven't gotten around to subscribing to her new e-mag. Winning an issue might just get me started in that direction.
Nice hexie magazine, book and projects.
I started my first hexi project recently. Such a great take along project!
I haven't delved into hexies yet....but my interest is strong enough that I'm looking for a first project. This might just be the ticket I need.

I agree with SuebeeSews; the latest issue of Quiltmaker is WONDERFUL, and congratulations to the covergirl again! I have a hexi project in progress, but I think it will take me a lifetime to complete. Would love to pick up some hints to speed up the process.
