A very Happy Fathers's Day to all the father's put there, including my sons and grandsons! As I said in my last post about the Sweet William quilt, I have another very old project that I have been making progress on. It is from an Edyta Sitar book "Handfuls of Scraps", Flower Garden. All the hexagon flowers are completed and I put them up on the design wall to arrange their placement. Now to get this top sewn together. I still have quite a few neutral hexies to baste, but will do that as I go along. Sorry! Not a very good photo. This the lay out to follow. This is the first time I have done this, so hope I don't get too confused. My progress so far, I have a long way to go. Plus, I need to decide on the border. I have really gotten hooked by the Hexie bug! I have been looking for ideas on Pinterest and came across the most amazing hexagon quilt on called La Passion by Grit Kovacs. It is really an ambitious project and I thought the pattern would be expensive. It wasn't! I was able to download it from her online store for $9.54 US dollars. Below is a photo of the quilt and here is a LINK to the pattern. Here is a LINK to her blog where you can see lots of photos and different versions of this quilt. There are 17,300 hexies sized 1/2" in this quilt, not sure if I could do that, we will see. Also here is a LINK to Turid's blog "Den syende himmel", she is in Norway. She not only made a LaPassion quilt (which has 1/2" hexies), but also one using 1/4" hexies! Totally Amazing! Lots of photos on her blog too, so many different version in different colorways. On her side bar there is a Labels list just scroll down to La Passion and La Passion Mini. Turid"s La Passion Turid's Mini La Passon I also bought this pattern by Rachaeldaisy Designs. Some ideas for the centers. Sorry for such a long post! Hope to link up with Kathy and the other Stitchers today, HERE I will be stitching hexies. Happy Quilting, Rebecca

With a ton of things to do before the end of the year I got distracted yet again! I saw the "Quilt as you go Hexagon" tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Co. (here) and realized that this was my kind of hexie! Paper piecing and little hexies scare me - but this bigger, faster and easy version seemed like a whole lot of fun. You don't have to buy a template; there are lots of tutorials and videos that show you the same technique using cardboard and different sized units. I did get the one sold by MSQC on their daily deal and am loving it. I got a "Scrap Pack" of fabric from Hawthorne Supply Co. in Amy Butler fabric to expand my own Amy stash. This may not be the traditional way to do this but here is my process. Cut your larger hexie and then with a pencil trace the image of where the batting and smaller hexie will go. Position your batting on your pencil lines and stick the batting down with the help of a little glue stick. Pin the smaller hexie onto the batting. Put a little glue on the bottom edge of the larger hexie. Make the first fold and press. Then dab a little more glue onto the hexie, fold and press with the iron. Apply glue and press one side at a time. The MSQC tutorial shows Jenny using "Magic Pins" - pins that have a silicone tip that can be ironed and not melt. I don't have those and figured applique glue would work, which it does just fine. Lastly, straight stitch around the unit and that's it. Will experiment in the final joining of all the hexies with a thicker #28 weight Aurifil thread using a zig zag so that stitching shows up even more. This is a long term project but it's easy to pick up for a quick sewing fix when one gets tired of bigger projects and you 'just want to sew something!' So, for good instructions and lots of ideas of what to make with these hexies - check out the MSQC video here. Materials: Quilt As You Go Hexagon Template from Missouri Star Quilt Co.

As I delved into the world of modern quilting, one project kept popping up at me: Modern Hexies. As soon as I saw them, I knew I had to make them but didn't know where to get started. After a quick search, I discovered Nicole, the Queen of Modern Hexies, and got started on my own Modern Hexies quest!
Hi friends, I am tempted to call this Geometric Rainbow 2.0 since it is so similar to my last big hexie project, but the jury is still out on that one. What I do know is that I fell in love with this fabric before I even cut it - and it was in fact painful to cut (I was so worried I was going to get the ombré effect out of order!) Vanessa Christenson of V and Co. was so sweet to send me the full ombré collection for Moda and this is exactly what I wanted to do with it, make a large scale hexagon piece. I will be sending this to her to have in her booth at Fall Quilt Market in Houston, so if you are there stop by and take a peek! I usually stick with the darker brick wall on our building's patio but the white wall in my landlords basement was too tempting! Enjoy some pictures and some close ups :) There are a total of 340 hexagons on this project - 17 hexies in each colorway. I used my Modern Hexies method of applying them to the backing fabric and then quilting from corner to corner. Thanks for stopping by today and if you would like to make a project like this of your own - be sure to check out my Hexie Pillow pattern here. It has the full Modern Hexies method including video links to help you with your project! Happy sewing, -Nicole
Just Stitch The Finished Hexies Together for a Completed Project! Some quilters like making hexies and some don’t. They’re fiddly and require precision.

Så er den her... lovet for meget længe siden, men bedre sent end aldrig ikke? Swap Miniquilt efterår 2015 Inden jeg kaster mig ud i denne tutorial, så vil jeg lige henvise til ophavs kvinden til denne skønne teknik nemlig Nicole Daksiewicz fra "Modern Handcraft". Hop endelig over og tjek hendes ud - der er mange lækre (og som navnet hentyder moderne) sager! Tilbage til de der moderne hexagoner. Det jeg viser her, er den måde jeg er endt ud med at synes bedst om. Nicole gør det på lidt en anden måde, tjek det ud og gør så hvad der passer dig bedst. Klargør Hexagonerne: Til at lave hexagonerne bruger jeg papper, stofkvadrater der er 1" højere end højden på pappet, gluepen, ritråd og nål. Jeg klipper/skærer ikke stoffet i hexagoner, det er ikke nødvendigt. Jeg sætter en lille plet lim midt på hexagonen og vender limen nedad mod stoffet. Så sidder pap og lim sammen, og jeg behøver ingen clips eller lignende under rining. Jeg starter med at tage to ri sring, så første hjørner bliver låst. Jeg stikker kun igennem stoffet - aldrig gennem pappet. Derefter drejer jeg min hexagon et hak mod urets retning og tager endnu et risiting. Når jeg drejer mod urets retning, er det for at opnå, at stinget "låser" hjørnet. Jeg forsætter hele vejen rundt, men undlader at hæfte i samme hjørne som jeg har startet. Når jeg har riet en stak hexagoner, skal de presses, så kanterne forbliver pæne og skarpe, når jeg piller pappet ud. Brug gerne lidt strygestivelse hvis du har. Når hexagonerne er kølet af/tørret efter presning, fjerner jeg pappet. Jeg lader bare rytråden sidde. Når du har den mængde hexagoner du skal bruge - og gerne lidt flere, så du kar noget at vælge imellem - er det tid til at gøre baggrundsstoffet klar. Optegning af grid: Inden du tegner et grid, til at placere hexagonerne i, op, er det vigtigt at regne ud hvor lang afstand der skal være mellem linjerne. Jeg er kommet frem til at højden af hexagonet + 1/4" delt med 2 = linjeafstanden. I dette eksempel betyder det, at 1 3/4" + 1/4" = 2. Når det deles med 2 er linjeafstanden = 1". Jeg tegner her på papir, da det er nemmere at vise teknikker på en jævn flade. Start med at markere linjer enten lodret eller vandret. Her er 1" mellem linjer, og det skal der så være mellem ALLE linjerne! Næste sæt linjer skal tegnes med en vinkel på 60 grader ift første linjer. Sidste sæt linjer tegner, så den rammer alle skæringspunkterne fra første to linjesæt. Nu ligner det mønsteret som vi kender fra kardus patchwork pap. Læg en eller anden form for mellemfor bag stoffet - lim gerne sammen - og vi er klar til at placere hexagonerne. Jeg bruger ofte en vandopløselig pen til at tegne op med, men det er også muligt at bruge kridt, sewline pen, hera marker eller andet der nemt kan fjernes sidenhen. Placer og lim hexagonerne på: Først skal alle hexagonerne placeres på baggrunds stoffet (her bruger jeg hør), og det kan godt tage noget tid. Læg specielt mærke til retning på stof (så som striber), nuancer mv. Af erfaring ved jeg, at jeg skal tage et billede af mit færdige "oplæg", at der så nemt går ged i det for mig senere... Det gør der i øvrigt alligevel, men så har jeg da i det mindste mit udgangspunkt at forholde mig til! Til pålimning bruger jeg enten Roxanes Glue-Baste-It (ses på billedet) eller den vandfaste lim som Nicole Daksiewicz anbefaler (kan ikke huske hvad den hedder, men Helene Juul Design sælger den). Jeg sætter en lille prik lim i hvert hjørne. Mere er ikke nødvendigt. Så placerer jeg hexagonen på dens plads, og går videre til næste hexagon. Jeg bruger faktisk en pincet til dette arbejde, da det er så nemt at få gnattet fingrene ind i lim... som så kommer på forsiden af hexagonerne... Den opmærksomme læser kan tydeligt se, at mine gridlinjer ikke rammer helt perfekt. Nu er det sådan, at jeg heller ikke syr helt perfekt, så i sidste ende passer det super godt sammen! Når alle hexagoner er limet fast, lægger jeg en eller anden type mellemfor (termolam, hobbs eller lignende) bag stoffet, og så quilter jeg i samtlige optegnede linjer. Jeg quilter altid alle linjer i samme retning, inden jeg tager fat på næste retning. Se det var det... ikke spor svært, men en alvorligt afhængigheds skabende aktivitet skulle jeg hilse at sige. Julegave til Helene 2014 Hvis du syr noget, og sidenhen viser det på ex instagram, så husk #modernhexies, så andre der har interesse i dette, kan finde og beundre dit værk! Nok for nu... men det varer ikke så længe inden jeg vender tilbage med endnu en tutorial. Maria

On Saturday hubby and I drove west to Charters Towers. It's a beautiful small country town about 160 klm away and it's where we called home from 2009-2011, living in a lovely old cottage that captured my heart. We go back to visit every couple of months and as the giant water tank on top of Towers Hill comes into view about 10 klm out of town my heart always skips a beat because it feels like coming home and I tend to become a wee bit emotional about that. First stop is always, without exception, the local newsagent. They stock all my favourite English country magazines and many craft magazines from overseas that I cannot find in the big city. The week following our Charters Towers visit has me enjoying many long afternoon teas and I'm sure you understand why. We don't visit people while we're there, we come to visit the town itself. Quite simply the atmosphere, the peace of country life, the simplicity and 'slowing' that cloaks the town draws us in as we wander up and down Gill Street (for in all tiny towns there is but one main street, yes?) and scan the Houses For Sale ads displayed across the various estate agent windows. We dream, hope, pray. After all, you never know, a teaching position may open up there again one day for my darling man and we could set down deep roots at last in a town we love. I slip into my favourite charity shops to see what treasures can be found and inevitably come out with at least a few vintage buttons and a book or two. There's also a gorgeous gift shop with so many pretty things under one roof that a number of birthday gifts are usually purchased in advance for shabby chic loving friends or family. Coffee and cake (or a hearty breakfast if we've come early in the morning) is enjoyed at Henry's Restaurant next to the cinema before a final stroll back to the car, and then it's a slow drive around the streets, looking at the beautiful old homes, enjoying expansive views from the hill and ending with a drive past one particular home we've had our eye on since 2009 - always hopeful a 'for sale' sign will one day appear out front when the time is right. We don't talk much during the 90 minute trip back home, each of us in our own thoughts...but that evening we share our dreams about life, the future, and perhaps that town. Have you lived somewhere that stole your heart and never gave it back? During the three hour round trip to Charters Towers I sewed one inch hexies on my lap as Mr E drove. When we go away on long road trips I take embroidery, and next weekend we're off on one of those much longer trips which is why this shorter drive was a good test to see if sewing hexies would be more relaxing during the journey, and it is. In fact I enjoyed making them so much that I continued sewing hexies that night while we watched an old movie. Fortunately I'd prepared a lot of hexie fabrics whilst sorting through my scraps basket so I just kept going until I ran out. The next morning I prepared more and before we go away I shall add to them, just in case. A few ladies have asked me to show how I make a hexie. Many blogs and designers have done tutorials on this so I won't go overboard with it, but here's a simple run through what I do. You need hexagon shaped paper templates and these can be purchased in packs from your local quilt shop, online, printed from the internet to cut out yourself, or even as occasional freebies with craft magazines. As we live fairly remote in the big scheme of things around Australia, unsold magazines are not sent back to publishing houses from here for cost reasons, so the newsagents resell them after their month of issue has expired for just a dollar or two. This is how I purchase most of my craft magazines, and most of the time there's free fabric, plastic templates, kits or paper templates attached. One of those $2 magazines had 250 one inch hexies included when I bought it last week, just in time for my trip! I have a plastic template for tracing the hexagon shape needed to make a 1" paper hexie (also from a $2 magazine) but I feel confident now to cut four at a time with scissors alone. I cut four squares of fabric large enough to give me a border around the paper shape and holding the paper and fabric together with one hand I use my super dooper Klasse shears to cut through the fabrics. The border is close to a 1/4" all around, but sometimes a little less when using smaller fabric scraps. If you're not confident doing it my way use a proper hexie template sized to suit the hexie you want to make, or trace the hexie onto the wrong side of your fabric and draw a line 1/4" outside it for your cutting line. Cut along the line with scissors or a rotary cutter. There's two ways to fold the fabric around the paper hexie - hand stitching or glue. I hand baste because for me this is sooooo very relaxing. Folding one edge at a time around the paper you sew large basting stitches (running stitches) through the fabric and paper until you have done all six sides. No need to knot the thread, it will be removed later when you take out the papers. (papers can be re-used) This is quick and easy, perfect for doing on your lap in the car or anywhere you're out and about. To use the glue method a glue pen is best. You only need enough to secure the fabric to the paper because you'll need to lift up the edges later and remove the papers. Press the fabric borders over onto the hexie paper with your fingers, one at a time. I'm a hand baster because it's very calming and I don't much like peeling glued fabric borders away from the paper later, but I have friends who love glue basting so do what makes you happy. My camera was whisked away to the camera shop this morning to be cleaned so I don't have photos of sewing the hexies together, but it's not hard. Press the hexies flat with a warm dry iron as this will give you a nice crisp edge, then hold two hexies right side together (still basted, still with paper inside) and sew along one side with a blind stitch. Sew as many together as you need and when you're done remove the basting stitches and the papers. I think these will become the first of many hexie flowers... Here's one of my old designs (The Summer House) which has embroidered and fabric hexies as a feature... The embroidery is traced onto the hexie fabric shape first, then after the hexie is made it is sewn onto the design and embroidered. I've done the same thing with hexies in a new pattern for April (see it here)... Hopefully this has helped those of you who haven't yet ventured into paper piecing, but remember, I'm no expert, just a girl who likes to make them as simply and calmly as possible with minimum effort for maximum effect. A few years ago I shared a free pattern and tutorial, The Hexie Flower Show". Perhaps you may like to practice with it? You'll find the tutorial here and... Download the free pattern here from my shop. I wonder whether you prefer stitch basting or glue basting? Bless you heaps!
After many requests for an update on my hexie project, I figured it’s about time to ‘fess up on where things stand with those thousands of little fabric hexagons just begging to be stitched up!

Ombre Confetti Hexie Pop quilt by Quilty Love. This modern hexie quilt is a quick and easy half hexie quilt pattern. Uses VandCo ombre.
I love making EPP hexies. It's mindless work for when I want to occupy my hands but don't want to think about what I'm doing. They are a great portable project for on the road work. But, honestly, I get kinda bored with the standard layouts I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah .. seen that, seen that, seen that. BUT THEN .. this layout just showed up on my FB feed. It's *stunning*. Absolutely amazingly incredible. I think to get the color distribution right, you'd almost need to have a design wall and put the hexies up as you make them or graph it all out before you even start. Either way, I really, really, really love this layout.

EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt - TUTORIAL Hi Quilty Friends! Today I'm sharing my EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt (keep on reading for the free tutorial) with the gorgeous Wild and Free Collection designed by Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs. The Wild and Free Main print (below) is my FAVORITE because Gracey has drawn all 50 state flowers!!! This collection is both beautiful and educational! PS- the Wild and Free Panel is a must as it is a map of USA with all the states and their flower! I knew I wanted a to make quit a with a floral design and I love a Grandmother's Garden Quilt, but hand sewing hexagons together would take me forever and sewing y-seams is stressful. So I used my AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon die to make my quilt EASY with no hand sewing or y-seams! EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt Tutorial 53.5" x 63.5" Quilt Supplies: (12) 1/2 yards : Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson (5) 1/4 yards: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 0.625 yard binding: Wild and Free designed by Gracey Larson 3.5 yards Backing OR (1) Wild and Free Panel with extra (1) yard of Wild and Free Main Print plus left over fabrics AccuQuilt GO! Half-Hexagon 4 1/2" sides die AccuQuilt GO! Cutter (if using AccuQuilt GO! die for cutting) Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die – try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Cutting Instructions Cut each 1/2 yard print into (3) 4 1/2" x WOF strips, then cut (12) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 144 half-hexagons) Each 4 1/2" x WOF Strip will cut (4) half-hexagons Cut each 1/4 yard print into (1) 4 1/2" X WOF strip, then cut (4) half-hexagons with your AccuQuilt GO! Half Hexagon 4 1/2" Sides Die from each print. (Total of 20 half-hexagons) There will be a total of 164 half-hexagons cut. Quilt requires 162 half-hexagons. Each full flower requires (12) half-hexagons for petals and (2) half-hexagons for flower center. Don't worry - it's super quick to cut the half-hexagons as your AccuQuilt GO! Cutter does all the work for you! Plus you can cut 6 layers of fabric at a time - yay! Cut (6) 2.5" x WOF binding strips. Note: If you do not have an AccuQuilt GO! or GO! Half-Hexagon die - try using Lori Holt Hexie Half Ruler Set. Just use the larger size ruler. Your quilt size may vary slightly from mine. Quilt Assembly Arrange your half-hexagons in your desired layout. Don't worry about the hexagon edges on the quilt sides, we will be trimming them off. No need to panic- it's just a tiny bit of trimming off so there isn't much waste at all. Layout should be (9) half-hexagons across (horizontal) and (18) half-hexagons down (vertical). Sewing Begin sewing horizontal rows together. Sew (2) half-hexagons short sides, right sides together with 1/4" seam. AccuQuilt has already trimmed the corners of your blocks so they are easy to line up and sew together. Continue until entire horizontal row has been sewn together. Row 1 Row 2 Continue sewing all (18) horizontal rows as shown above. Be careful to pay attention to placement of half-hexagons. Next sew Row (1) and Row (2) together with a 1/4"seam. I did pin each point as I like perfect points :). Repeat sewing rows together in numerical order until quilt top is complete. Trimming Quilt Using a ruler - trim the edges of the hexagons on the left and right edges of the quilt. I trimmed at the intersection of the two fabrics. This will give your quilt straight edges and it will be so much easier to bind. See diagram below. EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt will measure 53.5" x 63.5". OPTIONAL (but awesome): Pieced Backing The Wild and Free Panel is AMAZING! Plus I love a double sided quilt so I chose to use my left over fabrics for a fun pieced backing! I think this is a fun (and pretty) option to learn US Geography!!! Quilt and Bind as desired You did it! Now you have an EASY Grandmother's Garden Quilt with the gorgeous Wild and Free fabric to enjoy!!! Plus hooray for NO y-seams or hand sewing!!! I can't wait to see your quilt! Do you know your state's flower????? Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ABitofScrapStuff and on my A Bit of Scrap Stuff Blog for more fabric fun! Have a great day and happy sewing / quilting!

A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time to revisit my Mediterranean Hexagons quilt from the Kaffe Fassett class I attended in January (you can read that blog post here). Kaffe and Brandon shared so many useful tips with us that I wanted to look at my fabrics again before I forgot all their advice. The pattern is Mediterranean Hexagons from the Quilts in Morocco book, but I'm going to call mine Tropical Hexagons because my colours are hot, rather than the blues and greens of the Mediterranean. Although this quilt looks simple in the book due to the large hexagons, there's a lot of work required to ensure that the star points are balanced through out the quilt. You need some variety in you star points, but you don't want to use the same fabric for adjoining stars. So you need at least 6 different fabrics for star points. I used these fabrics: When it comes to assembly you need to be working rows ahead at all times. I decided that the easiest way was to lay it all out on the kitchen floor. It's way too big for a design wall. I would pick up one piece and sew the relevant star points, and then put it back in position. It's the only way to keep the pattern correct and not get the star points jumbled up. Eventually I got 4 rows together: Each time I had to clear the kitchen floor I would stack the rows up in the correct order so I could lay them out again the next day. I'm still not finished, but on Sunday I had 8 rows together. That means there's just 3 rows left to go now. We have a long weekend this weekend for Queen's Birthday, so hopefully I'll get the hexagons all sewn together this weekend. Then I have to think about borders. I love the colours in the fabrics in this quilt. I'm so glad I stepped away from blue and green and tried something different, and I'm so glad I got to attend the Kaffe course. I really enjoyed watching Brandon and Kaffe take their time, and mull over the fabrics in each quilt. I now know that they refuse to be rushed, and keep trying different fabrics until they are really happy with their choices. That's the approach I like to adopt too.
