Hexagon Table Runner....


It's time for a new...




Hexagons.....always a favorite to hand piece





This is what 170 hexagons looks like





This is how big they are...





A hexagon is measured by one of the sides...

1  1/2 inches along one of the 6 sides




I use a glue stick to baste the fabric to the 

paper hexagon




I am using 20+ fabrics...

some of them are my hand dyes




some of them are commercial batiks




they are all bright and cheerful...

which I need on these gray, rainy days of winter

here in Western Oregon




This table runner will brighten up our kitchen





And so it begins...





so far, the fabrics are getting along...





this color story is working...

I will keep going





The runner will be 16 inches wide















I will be taking this with me when I travel,

so I pinned the hexagons 

to a piece of muslin...





The hexagons will stay in order

as I sew them...

they will NOT be sewn to the muslin




16 x 66 inches





is just the right size to carry the

hexagon table runner.
