Some of these hexie flowers will be firmly sewn to canvas to make new seats for two chairs I scavenged from a road side collection. The chairs are to be painted cream first.
I also plan to paint this op shop screen cream, then place hexie flowers panels where there is currently calico.
Finally there will be a hexie flower quilt to tie it all together. A long term project for me.
Thanks so much to Anthea at Hibiscus Stitches for giving me the opportunity link up to her Piece Yourself Together Linky Party.
I'm having lots of fun EPP-ing.
