The site I use is www.texasfreckles.com You can download and print out the templates! I keep my little sewing kit handy and if I'm going for blood tests/appt etc I just sit doing hexes!!! Other patients are often fascinated!!!!

That sounds painful

Love this! I haven't tried them because I've heard they are so addictive... Hate to add another "project", but after seeing yours, I may have to try them out. I'll just blame you for getting me to start them!

I wondered about that chair seam too! Your hexagons are lovely. Hope you are healing up nicely.
