While enjoying a stitching day at Millrose in Ballan on Sunday, l took my hexi flowers for a walk around the shop. l found 2 that l liked, so l put it to the other girls stitching with me to help. The decision was unanimous!! So l am happy to report that l have finally found the fabric l want to use as my pathway! l set to on Tuesday, covering a handful to test them out. Here is the result! l couldn't be more happy. Love them, and love what they bring to the flowers. l originally bought 2 metres, then yesterday bought 2 more, just in case!! Can a girl ever have enough of a great fabric?? LOL My tally so far is 39 flowers completed, and 14 centres made. Then l have tons more prepped and ready to pick up and go. l take my tin of fabric and papers with me everywhere, and when ever l have a few minutes of down time, l take it out and stitch a few. And now l also have to confess that l have a new hexi addiction! When l was in France a few years ago, l fell in love with these blue Liberty fabrics. l chose 3 solids to go with them and put them in a case to make a French memory quilt. When l came home l went through my meagre Liberty stash and pulled out some extras. This is what l stitched at our sewing day in Ballan. Couldn't be happier with how it is looking, and makes a nice change from working with the reds all the time. Time will tell what l choose for the pathway here, but l do have something in mind!! Stay tuned!! Thanks for visiting. Linda.

Hexie Love! What a great hexagon chart pattern! I found this on Pinterest through the source link BUT can’t find the original source for it. If you know please let me know so I can add credit where cr
I spent the day with my husband at Royal Perth Hospital while he went through the procedure of being injected with dye and then hanging around for over three hours until he could have the bone scan. Needless to say I took these two hexagons with me to stitch the black Feather Stitching around the edges. Here is Hexie number Sixteen which shows a little girl with her grandfather in his garden. The original painting is called "In Grandpa's Garden" so the hexie really suited lots of flowers and gardening charms like the fountain, watering can, humming bird and Ladybird (Australia) Ladybug (USA). Hexie Seventeen turned out to be one of my favourites - amazing how it developed a happy Spring personality (I won't say Summer because the little girl feeding the Swans is wearing a Winter dress). Several people contributed to this hexie - I bought the berry lace motif from Cathy Kizerian, I won the Dragonfly button from Thearica Burrough's with her "Message in a Bottle challenge" and the two white Swan earrings were given to me by a friend in a box of junk jewellery. The patch of very, very old blue Satin at the bottom stretched with the heat of the iron. At first I was going to Kantha quilt it flat but then I decided that I rather liked the puffy, watery look so I left it. The blanks for hexies 18 and 19 have been stitched so now I will have the fun of embellishing them both and that will complete a second circle of hexies around the central hexie. ie. one in the middle, six around that and then twelve around those. I'll take a photo of them all sewn together. The next circle after that will need twenty four hexies to complete - could take some time, lol. Blah!!! The close-up photo of hexie 17 shows that I will have to revamp the sequin flowers along the edge behind the two swan earrings. I attached the large flower sequins (which are actually irridescent greeny-red, not that dark red colour) then the tiny apricot coloured sequin centres with a 3-wrap Colonial Knot. The iron has flattened the Colonial Knot and one sequin centre has popped off and a whole flower above the higher of the two swans has popped off leaving just the knot. OK, seed beads will do the trick. While I'm at it, I will also Kantha quilt the water.......sigh, and I thought I'd finished!! So here is the new version. Hexie Seventeen mark 2.

Have you tried EPP yet? That’s short for English paper piecing. It’s a technique that’s as old as the hills but has been making a HUGE comeback. Hexagons are perhaps the best-known shape used in EPP, and author Jaynette Huff makes the most of hexagon quilts in the re-release of Quilts from Grandmother’s Garden. Originally …

Here is my eleventh hexagon block which is based upon an image of a bunch of Poppies, Daisies and little mauve flowers. This block was a challenge in that it only had five colours - orange, green, mauve, yellow and dark brown (plus a few white daisy petals). The purple sequin flowers are paler than they appear in the photo - blame the scanner again.......
So, a little reminder of what we’re making: In the first part of this tutorial, we made the tiny hexagon patchwork to go on the front cover of our book: In addition to this, you’ll need…

I don't know why, but it always seems that "blog time" comes around the corner so fast each month that it takes me by surprise. I sweat over what to put in my blog... and this month I started sweating early because most of what I've been working on is not "photo ready." I've been doing lots of paperwork and pattern-writing... nothing that I can take a picture of! This month, I've decided to share a bunch of hexagon quilts with you . It seems that hexagons started showing up in only the last year or two. I went back and looked at all my Houston quilt show pictures -- there were lots of hexagons last year, only a couple the year before, and I only found one picture from 2011. Where did all these hexagons come from? Well... it's not as if they didn't exist until a year or two ago. Take a look... The quilt below was part of the French Legendary Quilts exhibit at the International Quilters Association (IQA) show in Houston last year. These quilts are totally hand-made (no machine work at all!) and are replicas of antique quilts. This quilt, Mosaic quilt, was made by Isabelle Etienne-Bugnot of Soisy-sur-Seine, France. It is based on a circa 1840 quilt in the DAR Museum in Washington, D.C. (note: please excuse the plastic band in front of the quilt at the bottom of the picture... sometimes I can't avoid those in my picture-taking...). I love the quilt above with its diamonds made of hexagons... though I must admit that hexagons are NOT my unit of choice. In fact, there were SO many hexagons in the quilt show and in the vendors' booths last year that everytime I saw one, I started humming Taylor Swift's "I.....i....iii....i... will never, ever, ever.... (and I changed the lyrics).... make a hexagon"! Really - hexagons were everywhere I looked!!! Here's another one at the show last year: Honeycomb (Rayon de miel) by Liliane Verger of Royan, France. Liliane's quilt was inspired by an English quilt made in the 1840s. This quilt offers hexagon diamonds and hexagon stars. The outer edge of the quilt offers a unique way of handling those persnickety hexagons, too. Here's a closeup of Liliane's blocks. She used the English paper piecing method - is there any other way? In this method, fabric is stitched around a hexagonal template, then the hexagons are sewn together and the template paper is removed. Hexagonal Star, below, was made by Renee Elie of Royan, France. Here are the stars... and no hexagon diamonds. Instead, Renee has hexagon flowers -- a common use for hexagons. This quilt was inspired by an 1830 quilt. With almost 10,000 three-quarter inch hexagons, I can only imagine how long it took to complete this quilt. That's probably another reason hexagons hold little appeal to me. I'm still open to the idea... but not excited at this point. What a masterpiece of work, though! Here are some close-ups of the Hexagonal Star quilt. And another close-up. Can you imagine making all of those hexagons... and fussy-cutting so many units? It is another reason I'm not tempted. Yet. I have to admit they are pretty... and after all... ...by now you know that I do love intricacy! Here's another hexagon quilt - with flowers and diamonds done as a strippy quilt! This one, Diamonds with Flowers (Losanges de fleurs) was made by Dominique Husson of Arvert, France. It was inspired by an 1840 American quilt. The hexagons are each one inch in size. But wait... there's more! Check out the fussy cutting in these flowers and diamonds. It is simply amazing. Dominique's choice of fabrics is simply wonderful. It makes me think of fabric in an entirely different way. You might not realize it, but "baby blocks" are actually a form of hexagon - made of three diamonds. Cubes by Catherine Guy of Saint-heand, France, was based on a quilt made between 1855 and 1875. With over 3,000 pieces, the quilt was jaw-dropping in its perfection. The pattern for this quilt was published in American and British women's magazines circal 1850-1860. The fabric used in the above quilt also made me think of fabric in a different way. I think we all might be a bit too timid in our fabric choices: can you see the red and white checked fabric that is used in one of the baby block rows? Who would have imagined that it would melt right into the other fabrics? Below is another quilt using hexagons as baby blocks. At first, it looks like stars, but if you disect the larger hexagon shapes (the stars), you wil notice that there are three baby block hexagons in each larger hexagon. Stars or Baby Blocks was made by Marie-Paule Nedelec and Anne Helene Nedelec, from Chateaubriant, France. It was inspired by a circa 1880 quilt from Kentucky. You can check out the "stars" or baby blocks in this close-up. Notice the precision required to make all these blocks fit together so nicely. Alice Springs, below, uses combinations of hexagons with piecing and applique. Annick Tauzin of Floirac, France based her quilt on a "Persian applique," circa 1840, from Australia. Persian applique is a more arcane term for what most of us call broderie perse. Here are some close-ups of Annick's quilt. The hand-quilting is incredible in this quilt. Note, in the picture below, that there are elongated hexagons in the narrow border to the right of the flowers. The quilt below was made by Keiko Hasegawa of Ikoma, Nara, Japan. She made a series of hexagon quilts, then had a baby named Canon... and named this quilt Canon because this quilt is for her. Keiko listened to music and canons, and sang along as she made this quilt. Here are some close-ups of this amazing quilt. Notice the hexagon border in this quilt. It's a nice touch and makes for a certain unity across the face of the qiult. And, as in many hexagone quilts, there was ample fussy-cutting of pieces. Not all hexagon quilts are based on antique quilts or use reproduction fabric. Here's a bright, cheery quilt by Lilija Kostenko fo Gouda, The Netherlands. Lilija says this quilt reminded her of a summer day. You might notice that there are hexagons inside of hexagons in this quilt -- AND there are elongated hexagons. I told you there were hexagons everywhere last year! Look at those wild fabrics, too. Celtic Summer Celebration by Jaynette Huff of Conway, Arkansas, is a wonderful exercise in detail. With original basket designs, this quilt has over 690 quarter-inch hexagons (yes, quarter inch!), over 2,580 beads, buttons and charms, and includes "hidden treasures" such as a pig, frog, ladybug, armadillo, and squirrel. What fun! Looking at the above picture, you might not have found the hexagons. Look at the center of this photo and you can see a basket of flowers. Here's a closer look... notice the buttons and the beads in this picture. And in this picture, you can easily see more hexagon flowers -- but also, you can see the 1/8th inch bias tubes that Jaynette made for this quilt. Wow! Jaynette's quilt is an original design using Celtic applique designs modified from Everything Celtic by Mary Butler Shannon. Hiromi Yokota of Yokohama City, Kanagawa, Japan, made Flower of 13,585 Pieces and Peace. Hiromi says we cannot make peace or a quilt in a few days - so she wanted to make a flower quilt of hexagones using "1 centimeter paper liner method and a feeling of peace". It is hand made and hand-quilted. Here are two close-ups. What an amazing amount of work. Notice the outer edge of the quilt: Hiromi went to great pains to maintain the hexagon shapes when she backed and quilted her quilt with a knife-edge where no binding is visible from the top of the quilt. Here are diamonds and flowers and a star - all in the same quilt - and all within a large, hexagonal shape. Credit for this quitl, Flowers from Grandmother's Secret Garden, goes to Diana Perry of Hot Springs, Arkansas. With one-quarter inch hexagons, Diana sewed approximately 2,000 hexagons to make this quilt. The quilb below is an antique quilt. I try really hard to provide attribution for each quilt I post on my blog, but I have lost the source information for this picture. I do remember that it was in a special exhibit at the Houston quilt show. It is an amazing piece of work -- and very folksy! Check out all of the hexagons just appliqued at random, as well as in flowers. Isn't it all fun? Here's a close-up of the quilt. Notice the charming baskets, the heart motifs, the butterfly... I bet the maker smiled her way through all of her stitching. These baskets just tickled my fancy with their wild abandon and crazy use of fabrics. The quilt below was also in a special antique quilt exhibit. The quiltmaker is unknown, but it was made entirely of silk circa 1860. Measuring 74 by 81 inches, this Grandmother's Flower Garden variation is unique. It did not hang because of its delicate condition -- it laid on a slanted pallet to protect it from the stress of any stretching that hanging might cause. Here's a close-up. It reminds me of the Italian milleifiori ("thousand flowers") glass. And if you had seen this quilt, you would have noticed the gorgeous quilting in the border. Seven Sisters is a classic pattern of stars - here was a quilt I saw in a class on dating fabrics. Notice the hexagons! It wasn't too hard to date the fabric, with the "Sail On, O Union" fabric in one of the hexagons. While scouring the antique booths at the Houston quilt show, I found a most amazing quilt in John Saul's antique booth. He has some incredible quilts, and this one certainly took the prize for amazing! Made of one-inch silk hexagons, it was an unbelievable piece of work. Here's a close-up. Almost none of the silk had shattered, which made it all the more beautiful. Here's another qult made of hexagons -- it looks quite different from some of the others seen here. Made by Isako Wada of Kurokawa-Gun, Miyagi-Ken, Japan, Bolero 21609 was designed when Isako had a dream about making a hexagon quilt. It is made of hexagon units - but notice that there are also many large and small hexagon motifs across the face of the quilt. Isako named her quilt because she listened to Ravel's "Bolero" while she stitched - and my guess is that it has 21,609 pieces in it. Here's another contemporary hexagon quilt. Made by Cheryl See of Ashburn, Virginia, Star Struck has 12,256 hexagon units forming a rainbow-colored star which repeats in the background. Cheryl notes that the otuer star is bordered by appliqued circles with complimentary-colored backgrounds that transition through the colors of the rainbow. Appliqued flowers and Grandmother's flowers were placed throughout the quilt, forming secondary patterns and random surprises. Okay - so after seeing all these hexagons, was I tempted? Even the least little bit? Well... not so much. Here's the closest I've gotten: snowball blocks. Of course, these are not hexagons; they're octagons! But that's as close as I can get. My friend Becky must have felt sorry for me, though. After she heard me sing Taylor Swift's "I..I...I... will never, ever, ever..." so many times, she thought that I really needed a hexagon quilt. She's an angel... and she did it, did it, did it for me.... So what have I been working on over the past month? Like I said earlier, it's been computer work and home work and family matters. I did finish binding my newest quilt, Twirly Balls and Pinwheels, and even put a sleeve on it. When I finished it, it had some "waves" in it. Those are sometimes to be expected when one deals with so many small pieces, such heavy quilting, and a wool batting. I hesitated in trying to figure out how to make the quilt flat... and finally bit the bullet and blocked it. It bled, despite the fact that I had pre-washed all my fabrics and the batting... and used no chemicals or pens that would cause bleeding. Go figure. I have a hunch it has to do with the pH level in water and will test that later with tap water, bottled water, and filtered water. I'll keep you posted! Quakertown Quilts (www.quakertownquilts.com) will be offering the pattern in the next couple of weeks -- I finished writing it this week and will get it over to them next week. Writing the pattern took extra long, not because the quilt is hard to make, but because I invested a LOT of time into photos so that everyone who makes the quilt will have a good time making it and avoid problems. It is a wonderful quilt to make! Quakertown, at some point (and maybe your own local quilt shop) will be kitting it as a 6-month block-of-the-month quilt. It's not your classic block-of-the-month, but having the fabric delivered to you over a period of time makes it a lot easier to make; there are a lot of different fabrics in this quilt. In my last blog, I mentioned that I was going to start doing lectures and workshops and traveling a bit. Whoa! Stop the presses! Within two weeks, my calendar fell into overload! I'm totally booked for 2013 and for most of 2014. I'ved accepted a couple of 2015 engagements, but I'm reluctant to accept many more. So... hang in there and send me an email if you're interested, but I'm kind of booked solid right now. Having said that, I've made a new quick-and-easy "Twirly Ball" quilt that I'm going to use in workshops. It was so much fun and so easy to make this quilt! Hopefully, someday I can come to your guild and teach a workshop! Until we meet - and until next month -- happy quilting to everyone! Sue (c)2013 Susan H. Garman
