Last few days were super rainy and incredibly gray and gloomy. Horrible for having fun outside, but so very perfect for doing some slow and relaxed hand sewing.
Which was great since I really wanted to try out this unique template for making epp-ed pluses posted by Mollie over on her blog Wild Olive a few days back.
I even decided to cut into my precious hand printed Maze and Vale fabric. I so love where this is going. And the little "house" shape is super fun to work with. I think it brings the whole epp thing to a new, quite stylish and modern level.
I love all these grays and beiges together. And I quite like the addition of black, as well. It was getting a little monotone for my liking so I added this bold black plus and now I like it again :)
And you know what? While I was looking for my epp supplies, I came across this bunch of colorful hexagons I made a while back (some of them are even sewn into flowers already). In all honesty though, I don't see myself using them any time soon so I thought I'd pass them on to someone who'd like to actually use them :).
Thank you all so much for taking part in this giveaway. Mr. Random chose Cassandra (comment #4) to be the winner. Congratulations!!!
Please note this giveaway is for US addresses only !!!
Talk to you soon. Svetlana
The epp pluses are wonderful. The black one really gives it a pop. I'd love your hexis. I have a plan and they would save me a ton of time.
ReplyDeletethose EPP plusses are next up on my project list! I love their modern feel too. Yours are awesome! and your colorful hexies.... oh I could put those to good use for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the pluses! Very modern-looking.
ReplyDeleteWhoa I have never seen pluses like that, so cool! And those hexagons are a lovely color scheme that I would love to play around with :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pluses too! Mod look with the neutrals. Thanks for a chance to win the hexies!
ReplyDeleteI am not just hooked, but obsessed with epp. Any kind! I truly love the feel of a needle in my hand!
ReplyDeleteI love plusses! These would be fun to make, I need some handwork projects. And hexies? They would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh yes I would love your hexies. I have wanted to make some for sooooooooo long and I just saw a darling pillow that would be perfect. Thanks for the chance to win. P.S. not the same Patti as #7
ReplyDeleteI would adore your collections of hexagons. I've just been bitten by the EPP bug!
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing everyone's projects and Ihave never tried it. Looks like a lovely start to a project.
ReplyDeleteI woold to win your hexagons!! How very generous of you!
ReplyDeleteYour pluses are lovely.

ReplyDeleteI love EPP and love the little house blocks you made! I love finding things I forgot about. Finding hexies and then offering them to share, is so sweet of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you,

Love the color scheme of the little houses and adding black was spot on.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the crosses EPP! They are perfect in the tapes and greys too. If I didn't already have so many EPP projects on the go, I'd be all over this - thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the U.S. And I need more hexagons like a hole in the head, so it's just as well I can't enter!
your hexagons would be heaven to use!! And I am going to make some EPP pluses as well- yours are perfect!
ReplyDeleteI can visualize the green and reds in a Christmas project and the others on my kitchen table as the colors coordinate w/my vintage inspired kitchen. The crosses look like fun too!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to use those hexes...my quilt that receives the most compliments is a hex quilt. Your hexes could jump start a modern version -with a story :)

The epp crosses are so modern and inspiring. Your fabric choices are perfect with this design. Jxo

ReplyDeleteWOW! All that hard work and you are willing to just give it to me?!?! I would love that! I have recently started doing EPP and find it so enjoyable to do while watching TV in the evenings. I would really enjoy seeing some different fabrics mixed in with mine. Thank you for all the ways you inspire me to try new things!

ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful. I don't particularly like making hexagons, but now that they are made, they would be wonderful in one of the prayer quilts my group makes.

Oh man--these hexies are sooo cute! I'm completely obsessed with starting a plus epp now, too! I love seeing all your projects!

ReplyDeleteYour hexies would play very nicely with my hexies!!!
ReplyDeleteThose EPP pluses are too cool, I've never seen them like that before! And I agree, that pop of black is just the right touch. :) And such a cool thing to do with your extra hexies! I've never done EPP before but I could see doing some cool applique with them!
ReplyDeleteI would love to give your hexies a new home
ReplyDeleteI think I could use these in a few projects I have going right now. I do like the new EPP project.
ReplyDeleteThese pluses look so cool! I think I have to give them a try. Especially as I'm done with hexagons and the rombus shape (no idea what it's called in english) for a while. Thank you for the link!
ReplyDeleteI love your pluses. I am a hexie addict so I would take them in a minute.
