I sold the cross-stitch fabric and now have ZIPPERS up for sale! They’re pretty inexpensive, IMO, at 50 cents a pop. There’s also an option to buy all 36. If you do a lot of sewing with zippers, I think this would be a great deal! I have accumulated them from various places [...]

Thanks to all the awesome photos in the English Paper-Piecing Flickr group, I started a hexagon quilt on Sunday. I bought a set of coordinating fat quarters (there were a lot, in a cute little tin) and decided on a cute pattern to put them in. I’m using freezer paper to stick my hexagons to [...]

I used this “tutowlrial”.
it took about 10 minutes to make. the longest part was cutting the pieces because there’s no pattern, so you kind of have to fudge it. I omitted the base because I’m lazy. I also didn’t want to look for any cardboard.
