Hexie Queen

I love hexies so when madame Samm announced this hop I knew I had to take part. My coffee table is hexagonal and I wanted to make a table topper to go under the fruit bowl that sits on the table. Many Thanks to Madame Samm and to Debbie our cheerleader.

 Last year I won some fabulous fabric with fruit on it. I think the line is called farmer's market. I've already used some of it before but I had enough left to make this topper.

 The grapes looks so tasty,
 and I love the bananas


Apricots are one of my favourite fruits.
Ah fresh lemons, great as a slice in a gin and tonic but I fancy lemon drizzle cake.

The apples look tasty.

When I'd stitched all my hexie fruit together I added white hexies around them and finally made it into a large hexie using half hexies at the corners.

 My finished fruit bowl made with hexies. 

Now you need to go and visit the rest of the ladies taking part today.
