Mel's Own Place

I've wanted to try hexagons for a few years, but have been intimidated by them, so I had to go in search of help. I'm using the freezer paper technique that I learned from Kaaren and another nice blogging friend, but I forgot her name! (I'm so sorry!) I'm not going for any particular pattern with my hexies, I just want to use funky fabric only and make it really random. I really like sewing them and am glad I jumped in and finally learned how to make them!

I got my last Secret Sister the other day and as before, it is WONDERFUL!!! Beautiful hand dyed yarn, funky fabric, Christmas fabric, batic fabric with metalic trees, thimble holder, hand quilting needles, machine needles, candy, and a quilt pattern! My secret sister for the last 3 months as ben Tina, THANKS TINA!! Arriving today was a package from Pat Sloan! I won a giveaway on her blog!! My husband wouldn't let me open the wrapped gifts until Christmas, but the fabric was in a clear bag so I was able to play with it today! Fun prints right?? It's from her new collection Arabella. It's not even in stores yet, but I got some!!! I will post the rest of the gift after Christmas!
