Glass Hexagon Templates

Wow!!! People really liked Bill's glass hexagon template idea! I had some friends ask for a glass template of their own, so Bill made a few extra and they are in my ETSY shop if you too are interested in having one. (Etsy Shop is now closed) Update Oct. 2014

Drop me an email if you ever want one and I'd be glad to send some hexi happy mail your way!

With smiles!

Hexagons On-the-Go + Kit Idea

 Anytime we go anywhere that is over an hour in the car, I am making hexagons! This past weekend we drove six hours (round trip) to see our daughters and I made hexagons.

And I got this done:

These are 1" hexagons. 

  Also, here's a peek at  my on-the-go Hexagon kit:

It's just a little snap bag. I love that they are quick to make only needing two fat quarters and takes  I've made them for my daughters bridesmaids, all the girls in our family,and  I think I have my own like the one below. Oh and they make great gifts! Okay, inside my little snap bag I have:  

• my glass template 
• a ton of paper templates
• thread
• needles 
• scissors
• pre-cut 2" strips. (BTW: A great way to use scraps!!) I usually have enough strips to make two flowers. As you can see, my glass template fits perfectly on the strips. I just snip, snip and start sewing. (My husband is such a smart guy. He makes stain-glass and thought of this little template for me.)

Easy as 1,2,3!

Happy travels for sure!
