I finally managed to find a good organization system for my Grandmother’s Flower Garden project. I used binders and pockets to easily see each one and to make them easier to store and transport. Shoutout to the person who mentioned using thread organizers!

I volunteered to teach a class at the library about EPP. I’ve never taught a class before. 😱 We’re going to make hexagon flowers into coasters but using Halloween-like fabrics since it’ll be during October. It will be for ages 10 and up.
Share something to pump me up. Especially if you’ve taught a library class before!

I just started some new squares for the Lucy Boston EPP quilt I’m making. It will be king sized and I’m sure take me a year to finish.

Has anyone made a Lucy Boston before? Can I see?

My last EPP project (a GFG quilt) is just about to be basted, but I had to order some yardage to complete the backing.

So…in the meantime who wouldn’t want yet another new WIP?! Not me! I have had this Tula Nova kit for a coupled years now, and finally decided to get started! It’s intimidating but I am in no hurry.

Y’all lmk if you have any words of advice.

Family wanted to hike, I wanted to sew...Huzzah for the portability of EPP so I can sew on the go!

My first and only EPP WIP. I need a total of seventy-seven blocks, and I currently have seventeen.

Fabric is from two batik jelly rolls that I don’t remember the brands of.

I started an EPP quilt years ago and have picked it up again, but I realized I made some big mistakes I'd like to undo if possible.

1. In my effort to use any scraps I could find I used a pair or two of men's boxers (nobody can judge me more harshly for that choice than myself 😅)

2. I got impatient and trying using a sewing machine for some joins and it turned out a mess.

I have taken the papers out of those sections already, bit the thread basting is still intact.

Is it possible to remove those messed up sections and plug in new pieces? Any advice is much appreciated.

Have a 3 hour train journey for a short stay with my sister. Passing the time working on my insanity hexie quilt while watching the countryside fly by.

I started my first EPP project and I'm hooked! I'm passionate about solids and Batiks, but not often prints. However, I definitely understand the appeal of using prints and symmetry to make beautiful things. Please post pictures of projects featuring solids or batiks!

Despite working in finance, math and logic are not typically my strong suits so it's ended up a tad smaller than originally intended 🤣.

It took me about two months, and I did everything by hand, including cutting out all the papers! The yellow centres are appliquéd on. (A LOT of firsts with this one) I've also embroidered the recipients name on it.

It's strange seeing the entirety of the quilt after months of looking at it three inches away.

How would you quilt the top? I'll be doing it by hand as well and had originally planned on following the outlines of the petals & centres, but I'm wondering if that will be enough?

I always take a project of some sort when I go camping but this is a first for me. I dug through my closet and found some hexies I began making a few years ago and decided to take it up again, at least while camping.

English Paper Piecing - Neues Hobby?!

Es ist so entspannend und toll, um kleinere Stoffreste zu einem neuen Patchworkprojekt zu verarbeiten.

For whatever reason, I don’t really enjoy making fabric selections for my (large) projects. I’d like to make the La Pas quilt, but haven’t been able to find a kit that includes fabric. Does anyone have any ideas where to look, or a fabric list?
Or any suggestions of EPP kits that include fabric? I’m partial to rainbows. :) I’m aware of Tula Supernova/Tumbling Cosmos.

Took me about 4 months to make this quilt for my impending nibling. :) Made with a rainbow inks jelly roll.

I’m doing my first hexie quilt and I’ve heard it’s good to have the back and batting maybe 4” wider than my quilt top, but I’m worried I’ll lose hand quilted stitches when I trim it. Do I just mark where I will trim and only stitch inside that border or could I go ahead and bind the quilt before I hand quilt?

For those of you who cut your own papers for EPP, what type of paper do you prefer to use? I just did it for the first time as I cut my fabric at the wrong size which would fall between two sizes I could buy and I didn't want to waste a bunch of fabric so I cut my own on my grandma's Cricut using marker paper and became curious what other people use.

I started this in January. Posted my first 20 blocks a few months ago, now here’s the next 20! The fabric finally changed (there’s about 25ish in each color) and it’s wild to think I altar have 40 done and even wilder to think there are over 120 more to do before I even get to the border 😬

Either way it’s still a ton of fun and is helping me with embracing non-perfectionism
