How about some Hexagons?

Ever wondered what to do with those beautiful stripe fabrics?  Here's some cute new patterns that are all about stripes, triangles, and hexagons:

Let's start with the Triangle Frenzy Hexagon Table Topper pattern by Artistically Engineered Designs.  Size is dependent on the width to the strip used. 

Next, is the Triangle Frenzy Runner pattern by Artistically Engineered Designs.  Again, the length is width is determined by the width of the stripe. However, the size is given as approximately 20" x 46".  Are you seeing any possibilities?

The final pattern is the Triangle Frenzy Swirl runner pattern by Artistically Engineered Designs.  Even more possibilities.  As with the previous two patterns the finished size is dependent on the strip width.  The front cover runner in lavender is approximately 18" x 32". 

The one thing that you will need to create any of these patterns is a 12inch 60 degree ruler.  I have the Creative Grid version of the ruler. 

One more fun little item:

Perfect for all you hedgehog fans is the Hedge Fun! Hedgehog Hot Pads pattern by Susie C Shore Designs.  You can depend on this company to create cute little patterns.

Happy Sewing!
