Slow Sunday Stitching #46

It's Christmas eve, and I'm hand sewing some  1" English Paper Pieced Hexagon flowers.

Not much thread left on the sewing machine:

So I'll be able to choose my next spool from my stash of Aurifil 50wt:

What do you get for stocking stuffers?  Instead of a lump of coal, there is always a spool or cone of Aurfil thread:

1" honey comb and 1" squares for english paper piecing, along with the 1" honey comb cutting template for fussy cutting.

1 1/2" honey comb and 1 1/2" squares for english paper piecing, along with the 1 1/2" honey comb cutting template for fussy cutting.

Slow Sunday Stitching #38 - English Paper Piecing

I've finally finished piecing the 4th block of month 1 of the Round We Go:

And I have started on the month 2 pattern:

I've gotten the center pieced, and some of the rest of the pieces basted for my first block, and I have pieces basted for the additional 3 blocks for October.


Meanwhile, I continue to sew my stash of basted hexagons into hexi flowers. I'm finding I need to fussy cut fabric for the centers, to give contrast and interest to the flowers.

Here are a set of 3 hexi flowers: 1 1/4", 1 1/8", and 1" hexagons.  While a 1/4" doesn't seem like much, when added across the 7 hexagons, it makes a much bigger difference in the size of the finished hexi flower.
