Hexagon critters

Here are the straggling hexagon critters, lovingly rescued by Megan and delivered to me along with some gift hexies of her own! Thank you Megan!

All this stuff was embroidered without a pattern, as I went. I think that's pretty apparent when you look at this sheep. Ugh. What's wrong with it? Something terrible.

I have so many more of these little guys I want to make. A fish, elephant, crab, etc. If you make any of these critters yourself please let me know, I'd love to see them!

Hex-a-sketch

These little guys debuted tonight at the Portland Modern Quilt Guild meeting, where they were inadvertently left, along with some of their pals who I haven't even gotten to photograph yet! I'll post again when they make their way home.

These were the end result of asking myself, in my instant-gratification-all-the-time sort of way, "what could I do with just one hexagon?"

After toying with the idea a while I realized it was very similar in approach to a book by Ed Emberley about making thumbprint drawings that I had as a child. Oh just looking at that cover is giving me more ideas.

Hello new obsession.

The hedgehog was my first and is still my favorite. Which may have more to do with my secret hedgehog obsession than anything else.
