A long-held idea has finally come together, and I'm thrilled to share it with you today for FREE from your desktop computer! It's my "Girl Power" inspirational hexagons for EPP. Simply click the hexi image in the right side bar, or click on the top photo of this post, and download your "Girl Power" inspirational page of 1" hexi papers to your desktop computer. Yes, get yours and start cutting! #girlpowerhexis

EPPers and hand stitchers tend to be a mindful lot, and what better way to keep inspiring words and ideas close than to stitch them into our EPP projects? "Girl Power" is one page of 28 uplifting, empowering words perfect for any one who enjoys English Paper Piecing. Imagine giving these to a young person just learning to stitch.

  • PRINTING: When printing your page of "Girl Power" Hexis, use your desktop computer and 8.5" x 11"/Letter Size/A4 paper, and set your printer to SCALE 100%. Print one page and test by measuring one side of one hexagon. It should measure 1" from point to point. You can also give the PDF to your local copy shop.
  • PAPER TYPES: EPPers use a variety of papers, so print on the paper you prefer. Many of us use copier paper or a lightweight card stock. 
  • IDEAS FOR USE: A few pages of "Girl Power" Hexis would make an excellent gift for an EPPer friend, whether the pages are left whole, or if you've cut them for your friend's immediate use. Gift the hexis with some amazing fabrics. Do you know a young stitcher who'd find these hexis pretty cool? How about using them in an art journal or mail art?
A simple, sweet EPP project sure to brighten a friend's day.

For those who aren't interested in printing and don't mind cutting their own papers, I've made "Girl Power" Hexagons available in my shop, already printed on white cardstock.

What you'll receive: the listing is for one page of 28 - 1" hexis, each sporting a fun-loving or spunky word to enliven your stitching experience!   

But wait, there's more: Win a set of four "Girl Power" pages (112 hexis) printed on cardstock for you and four more for a friend! Just follow me on Instagram, tag a stitchy friend and you're both entered! I'll announce the winner on Instagram Monday, August 7th.  Good luck, and happy stitching!
