Tula Pink Nest hexy cushion

I really like hexies and the whole EPP process. Although I've made a few hexy flowers over the years, I've never used them for anything. Until now. Yippee.


The hexy fabric is Tula Pink Nest. I bought a little hexy kit, then Liz shared some extra fabric she had sourced with me. 


There were a few firsts for me in making this cushion. First time doing applique, first time hand quilting. I enjoyed doing both. I didn't want to waste the extra squares I had, so I stitched them together for the back.


Mum has been visiting and I offered her this cushion, but now that I see the pictures I'm not sure I want to part with it. Oops.

  1. I like the back just as much as the front. It's all beautiful. It's a nice feeling to get something finished isn't it. It gives you permission to start two new things!

  6. I tend to give things away like that- too quickly! This needs to be with someone who loves it, because it's gorgeous!

  9. Completely lovely in both sides! Glad you enjoyed the handwork processes. I find them so relaxing. :) I suppose the cushion better disappear before Mum packs it.
