HEXAGON TEMPLATE - MAKE YOUR OWN

Salam semua.

KakDee minta maaf kerana lambat reply dan buat entry tentang template hexagon seperti yang dijanjikan.

Kita ambil ukuran seperti digambar tertera. Yang nak buat sendiri master copy untuk hexy template bolih refer di sini, sangat mudah..... Penting ketepatan dan guna template (master copy) ni dan terap banyak2 keatas kertas..... mesti tepat.


Yang gambar di atas tu pun KakDee buat sendiri dengan alat 'COMPASS' tu.

>Ukur 1.15" dan buat bulatan atas kertas yang agak tebal supaya tidak mudah koyak.
>Guna ukuran yang sama (1.15") bahagi 6 ikut bulatan.
>Garis dari bucu ke bucu.
>Potong.
>Terap banyak2 guna template mastercopy atas kertas sederhana tebal, gunting.
>Siap template kita.

THE HEXAGON GAMES

Hello to all!!

The Hexagon Games is just around the corner and very soon a lucky girl will get her parcels flowing over her door steps.

Okay, there are few clarifications to be made before we proceed, if possible by early/mid August.



Firstly, please make it exactly 2" side-to-side templates. Think Balkhis will email to all or visit here and print to size.

2. The flowers that we are making. I prefer that we use assorted fabrics' colour to reduce our piling up stash. And through my experience, the yellow/orange for flower-centre will make a beautiful Grandma-Flower-Garden. Or other alternative like in the pics, please suggest or comments at Balkhis's blog. The best paper piecing tutorials and my favourite is here and like to share with everyone. Yes, what about the template, should we remove them .... it is earsier to sew all flowers together with paper still intact.

3. The postage. For me my choice is the Pos Express. Have tried to insert all 10 pieces in the RM3/= envelope, fits nicely and post instantly (hate to queue). Or is it costly?.Please suggest!

4. Please voice out anything. Clear off the clouds from your mind, we shall discuss and shoot to start.......soooooooon!!!!

WRIST POUCH

It was rained outside and just the right time to make another wrist pouch for someone.

So fatigued after dusting my sewing room....

I was surprised that we have an early design for this month... and managed to just a quick whip on this. Use up some blues for Lydia's House.

NIA'S DOUBLE

Thank God I managed to finish off this on time before Nia returns to Alor Setar next week. Like tons of burden had been lifted off my shoulder, cos I have been dragging this far too long!!!









This sweet beauty measures 103 inches x 92 inches, 3/4 inch thick batting and 'graciously' weights about 4.5 kilograms. This is Nia's 'third' quilted comforter and all specifications to her requirements....... but wonder why DOUBLE.......mmmmm!

While struggling with the quilting I dreamt that I have a quilting machine mounted on a quilting frame and smoothly glide on the top and quilt till I wilt......... my day dream!

Well Nia, it is yours!

BABY PENGUIN GOES AROUND THE GLOBE

PHONE CHARMS

Today I hope to continue doing some quilting for Nia's double, but for a starter I made something small and fast.The idea came up quite sometimes now...... but..... no buts now, MUST do it!!

I hate to see my handphone with dirty or oily screen (sure verybody does too) and try to fine a solution...... THEN I came up with this.










Within one hour managed to complete this 4 dangling hexagons........ 'my wipers'! :p) . The other set is for my scissors.
P/S Used 1/2" sided hexy with 1" long leather strip to string the two hexy together.

LITTLE DIVERSION!

Bought these beautiful pieces from Affeen Decoupage weeks ago. Just try to divert a little bit to another angle of crafting......

Plan to do something small for some gifts or just to pamper and indulge myself to other relaxing stuff. I do need some helps from Decoupage Expertise to guide me, though. I just knew a little of basics and Affeen had given me some guidance and few important tips..... Thanks Affeen!

Anyway I shall try my very best! See later, what is the outcome.......!
