Hello! I'm a newbie with a hexie addiction...
My name is Gail and I'm a hexie addict... and I love to quilt!
Quilting to me is an art form. An art that creates functional items that could easily be hung on a wall, but serves a much better purpose: to literally cover/surround someone in love.
I made my first quilt in 2004, then found the Portland Modern Quilt Guild in 2010 and was turned onto English Paper Piecing. Since then, I have stitched together 3 hexie quilts (Squid / Dragon / Jellyfish), and many machine-pieced quilts. I have quilted all of my quilts myself either by hand, with longarm, or free-motion with my domestic Singer.
I have health issues that don't allow me to travel, yet I love to share my work - so I'm excited to be here and meet other hexie addicts and quilters and discuss tips, tricks, etc... I LOVE to learn!

Welcome Gail.
I'm a hexie addict too. Your quilts are awesome, and your hexies are so tiny! I can't imagine working with pieces that small!
Welcome from NC.

Welcome Gail, from a fellow hexie convert! Your quilts are so modern and interesting! I'm a little more traditional still, making a flower garden, but I can't see getting tired of hexies any time soon! Can't wait to see what else you come up with. This is a great place to learn and connect with fellow addicts!!

Welcome from Florida... Your quilts are amazing - loved looking at the in progress pictures - TFS!
I haven't been bitten by the hexie bug - yet. I do follow Bonnie Hunter and see the progress on her hexie project. Someday I will succumb to it.
