Ahh sweet colour. The fabric is Jennifer Paganellis Honey Child, I am completely in love with these prints.

The box travels with me, sew on the go, the perfect craft for the regular train and tube journeys into the big smoke.
Do you commute regularly? Then English Paper piecing is the perfect past time for you! I might do a wee tutorial here soon, if anyone is interested?

Happy weekending to you :)

  12. Such a fun post, love all those stunning hexies xox This post has reminded me of my hexie project sitting in a bag in my attic, I must find some time to work on it as I loved making them as they reminded me of my junior school sewing project back in the 1970's ! :0)
