Sheep Shape/Hexagami class at Heber Valley Quilters' annual Spring Retreat (featuring my little Hexie Meadow quilt from this month's Quiltmaker magazine).
Look at these adorable kits that the retreat committee put together using Riley Blake Designs' fabrics!
I began with a Hexagami lesson, showing three types of dimensional hexagons. Hexagami stars, dimensional hexagons folded from circles...
... and a 3-D Heat-n-Bond Hexie Butterfly. (Tutorial coming soon)
We cut out pieces in just minutes with the new Half-Hexagon dies that AccuQuilt sent home with me from my trip to Paducah!

I experimented with my blocks, while Cathy started to lay her's out. Meanwhile, Michele scavenged through the trash cans and used everyone's scraps to cut out a cute mini!
Michele's:
Leah did the same!
We sewed, we laughed, we ate incredible feasts, snacked on treats to keep us sustained... we sewed some more and by the end of the day, we even had a few finished quilt tops!
Kandy's!
Patty's!
Laura's too!
Quiltmaker magazine with the pattern is still available on newsstands, quilt shops, online HERE, or as a digital copy HERE. See the original quilt story HERE, and over at the Blogger's Quilt Festival HERE. Linking up with Quilt Story HERE.
Happy Quilting!
