HEXAGON JOURNEY AND ANOTHER GO AT A GO

When Ros came to visit us last week she brought gifts with her as I said in the last post, what I forgot to tell you was she had brought a little zip-loc bag for Rebecca, inside were papers, fabric, needle, in fact just about everything she needed to get started on making Hexagons. Ros thought Rebecca would like to do these.

Well I have to say on the day Rebecca was not overly bothered which I think may have upset Ros a bit, [sorry] it made me cross because Ros had made such a lovely gift of this for Rebecca, but I told her I would get her making them and we would do it together, and guess what?

Today Rebecca asked to start her Hexagons, Ros had sent her some pictures of things made with them and she was really taken with the Bookmark. So we picked up her zip-loc bag of goodies and I printed out some for myself, oh yes I am now a Hexagon maker!!! [Stop laughing Di.] I had awful problems with my printer trying to get the size Ros had brought, it would not print them that size, so the odd ones I have given to Rebecca and we have marked them either 1, 2 or 3 so she doesn't mix the sizes up. Mine have OK on them!!!!

We sat in the garden and I showed her how to tack them up ready ala Ros. Then she wanted to know how to sew them together so I showed her the way the Ros had shown me last week - I have to say it is a much nicer way of doing them, very relaxing - and off she went, stitching away. She learnt very quickly NOT to have too long a thread, how many knots did I have to untangle!!!!

Here you go Ros, pictures of Rebecca starting her Hexagon journey.

Cutting the papers very carefully...

 Next sheet...

 Joining the shapes...

 Concentration is the key...

 Needle poised...

 Look Ros, two joined together...

She actually got five joined together at her first sitting of Hexagons, I am not going to push her,

much better for her to do these as and when she wants I feel,
rather than spoil everything by saying we WILL do them today.
I got my papers cut out and about six tacked up with the fabrics.
I am using my collection of 30's fabrics for them and have a plan............
