Finally i have gotten back to making my hexagons. Yesterday i cut out the freezer paper templates & prepared myself a pile of hexies. Last night i sewed these 4 x 1/2" hexies and
the little baby 1/4". Now a question. I still can't decide whether to add a path or not around my 1" hexies. So i'd like to ask your opinion/advice please.
A while ago i came across a blog selling these & was waiting for Christmas, birthdays, school needs buying to pass before buying one. I then discovered Debbie & her friend were each giving one away. Such a shock when i got an email to say i'd won the one Debbie was giving away. It arrived the same day as my Valentines parcel so i had double excitement that day. Sorry about the piccie but you can see a better photo is you go & visit Debbie.
Congratulations, what a wonderful win and surprise! I LOVE the Dresden with the stitchery around it!! So pretty and it'll be ready to enjoy this year for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas piece and nice to see your flowers again. They look lovely with the path, but when I saw them all together they popped with colour! So, that is what I'm voting for.
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are beautiful. I think a garden path helps the flowers to really pop. All together they just sort of blend together and you lose the fact that they are flowers.
ReplyDeleteYour tree skirt is wonderful - love the embroidery!!
Your hexies are lovely - the tiny one is so cute, too. If you were to do a path, I think maybe not a white one as your centres are white and they could disappear? Teresa on 'Stitchin' friends' had a nice setting I saw today...hopefully this link works...

Your Christmas project is lovely too - the embroidery is a nice touch.
Oh, what a dilemma for you! I like BOTH your options. The hexies look so pretty simply attached to one another. But I know it's more traditional to have a path between them. Usually it's green. Since I'll never do a hexie quilt myself, I'll just watch and see how you do yours. Whatever you choose, I know it will be wonderful, Jeanette!
ReplyDeleteLove your hexagons (red looks great)very nice Dresden
ReplyDeleteYour garden is lovely growing!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers. So hard to decide. I like both ways, but I think straight to each other best.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the hexagons I think the altogether option looks more dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI love your hexies. Don't ask me whether to put a path or not...I have had a hard time on that one myself and came up with the hybrid way...
ReplyDeleteHow did you put the dresden onto the border? I made 5 of those d~@!%*^*^* plates and hand sewed a backing on them , others liked them , I was glad to be finished with them . I wish I had seen what you did first . Yours looks super.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanette..your flowers are looking lovely...I too struggled with the decision of a path way ..then changed my mind and now i am joining them together with out one,,Your dresden Plate looks fabulous...Kate xxx
ReplyDeleteYour hexies are lovely Jeanette and I vote for no path .I love the Christmas topper , really sweet with the embroidery . hugs Sheila
ReplyDeleteLovely hexies, I don't know if i shall make a path for my hexies either. I think Raewyn is right not to use white hexies for yours. Lovely giveaway and your Dresden Plate is gorgeous with those stitcheries!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Cisca
Awwww, Kitty is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI like both layouts but I'm leaning towards the pathways ... nice and soft.
Very nice blooms with a miniature hexie flower!! I always want to make a miniature ones, but haven't done yet. After winter...
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, I vote for a path and something other than white. I have a small one which I used green for, not sure what colour I will use this time. Has anyone done black or a similar dark path.
ReplyDeleteWow your flowers are coming along! I can't decide about the path...sorry no help. Love the mini!
ReplyDeleteI adore this blog. your work is beautiful!
