Hello! I am Audrey at Glory Be Quilter. I just recently joined Hexagon Alley after finding a new found love in EPP hexies! This is how it all began...
I received a giveaway win at TGIFF from A Quilting Reader's Garden by AngieN with hexies cut out of stiffer paper and a fat quarter of fabric. I had a recent head cold that made me tired where it made me feel like just sitting around. Watching TV was not enough so I decided to try EPP with hexies. I asked Angie for a bit of help and she directed my to a tutorial on line on You Tube. So this is what I have done since...
This one has the 3 Hexie flowers on a 12 1/2" square of Pale Flesh Kona fabric.
This block I added leaves to the 3 hexies onto a white Kona fabric.
This is the newest addition I am working on.
So that is 7 Hexie flowers for May, which I think took me 6 hours. I love the portability of EPP with hexies! It adds another dimension to my piecing, just like Hawaiian quilting did for me too. I look forward to working on more in June!

Seven! Wow, you're moving right along. Tomorrow I start my third one.
I understand that you're already hooked. And you'll see that this work will give you joy for the rest of your life. Welcome to our group!
Great story! I love that Angie is on here, too, to read it. =) You are making beautiful flowers, and I like the applique on Kona. What fun this will be to see blocks added.
Thanks for all the nice comments! Thanks Angie for sending me my first batch of hexies and fat quarter to get started!
Welcome to the group! 7 done and with a head cold - impressive!
