Stitching Through The Rain Drops...

"Oh Mister Sun.

Sun. Mister Golden Sun,

please shine down on me."

I used to sing this to my little ones all the time.

I've been looking for the sun.

It hasn't shone in... *forever* !

I'm about ready to build a boat !!

Rain drops make good stitching company,

but, really...

I'm beginning to run out of projects...

Okay, not really, but you get the picture !

I've been cutting golden yellow hexi's

for my current project.

I found when I simply blanket stitched around them,

they lost their "hexi" shape...

they became 'wonky' round shapes.  

So how do you keep the 'hexi' shape ??

Wool Hexi's stitched with Valdani Perle Cotton

At each of the 6 Hexi points,
 you make a total of three stitches, each of the 
three blanket stitches shares the 'top entry point'.

Kind of like a triangle with a stitch down the middle.
(As shown in the above picture.)

Nothing sweeter than perfect 

little honeycombs to chase away the rain !!
