Yes, I have her books and also her hexie templates...they are fun to do too..hopefully she will present at our guild this spring.....the difference with hers...she pieces each hexie, then sews them together. As opposed to just different colors for each shape making the design...but either way is a great way to play.......

I got the idea from inklingo: http://inklingo.com/shop/hexagons/5/...-templates/151
However, instead of buying the pattern I figured I could easily draw them up myself...
The hexagons are 12 inches. I'm sure they could be machine pieced, however, as I don't have a sewing machine I am hand-piecing.

Monale---- do you choose not to have a sewing machine...hope I am not being nosy......your handwork is great, so I know you could do great things with a SM......

Hmm, inklingo looks fascinating.....does it really work better than EPP? I am so afraid to jam up a printer, than have to buy another...plus ink is so expensive...isn't it cheaper to order from precut source? Rather than print out? Just thinking out loud .....let me know ....

I'm a bit undecided about getting a sewing machine... I'd love to have one, specifically: a vintage Bernina 830 (that's my mom's machine on which I learned sewing as a kid/teenager). However, it is currently not very practical for me to have my own sewing machine as I'm a bid of a "nomad" and a sewing machine is just a very heavy item to move... And it needs space to set up... Plus I'm not so sure if I could get a decent machine for my budget here (definitely no vintage Berninas around).
But whenever I am near my mom, her machine "comes on holiday" to me. She says it's going to be mine one day anyway, but I hope that day is still a VERY long time in the future!
