Thank you Marion another enjoyable tutorial ❤
This is why I love slow stitching, it is so peaceful and gives you time to relax and reflect on your ideas as you come along with a project to completion. It is wonderful!
I love the edges
Сердечный привет из Мюнхена!
I just taught myself to EPP but I wish I would’ve known quilt as you go. Thank you so much.! The table runner is lovely and I love the edging.
Thanks Laura
Следующее одеяло сделаю в такой технике. Очень понравилось. Только обрамление чуть пошире.
Здоровья Вашим золотым рукам !💖✂️,🪡🧵
First time watching it is a replay I enjoyed your video from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
👍💐
Thanks again Marion for another delightful video. Your hexies are so colourful and pretty and the needle lace is lovely. I do hope you had a wonderful birthday and wish you all the joy, love and happiness that your gentle spirit deserves.😘💝🌻🦋
What a joy and a pleasure to watch a left handed stitcher! Your explanations and directions are quite clear always, but I so appreciate the opportunity to watch a fellow south paw! Ive never done needle lace and am eager to give it a try.
Thanks also for the link for the hexiforms.
I’m so happy I found your channel! Can’t wait to see the dress.
I’m quite useless at business too, but I do love to make stuff, not following patterns, just what is in my own head.
Hello to a fellow leftie! Do have a go at the needle lace Fran. It's not as difficult as you might think.
I love watching you stitch. You have had a lot of experience at hand stitching, I see. Your stitches are very uniform and tidy.
Thank you. I first learned to stitch by hemming cotton handkerchiefs when I was little.... and then went on to make doll's clothes and knit jumpers for them too.
Thank you for sharing and a great tutorial. Beautiful table runner. 😊
☺️👍
Marion I want you to know I made a whole quilt with this technique you taught me. I used all floral fabrics and it looks like a garden. Thank you!
Oh .. that's amazing! Can you send me a picture? I'd love to see it...
Maybe through the shop or via Instagram 🤔
The runner looks so pretty on your table. I love all the fabrics you have collected on this piece. I can see how relaxing and enjoyable is to spend time stitching the hexies together. I also enjoy very much seeing you work. The way you teach and your smooth voice is very calming. Thanks Marion, have a good week!
Thanks Cris!
Very interesting 🎉always wondered how you do that scalloped edge on material. Now i know and thank you so much for showing us and sharing your amazing world of stitching to us.🎉❤
That is beautiful. I love the idea of using old-embroidered linens. Very good tutorial. Thank you for posting.
It's all totally finished now and was a joy to stitch. Thanks for your message 💐
I have a quilt as you go Hexies project that I have left but watching this has got me back to finishing it❤
Thank you Marion and I know I am watching this many months after you posted this but belated birthday wishes to you 🥰
Ursula
PS I smiled at your dress project ,I just finished making an apron from an old linen tablecloth and in doing it I thought of making a wrap around pinafore for my next project❤
That's brilliant. Always good to get an old project across the finish line!
Love this, thank you for the video. I will be trying this as I love hand stitching.
Me too 😊. I really enjoyed making this and it's quite often on my table...👍
Marion I love he is ,your table runner is wonderful and the daisy loopy threads around im going t definitely do that I’ve been wanting to make a runner for my table thankyou for ideas sorry for my bad wrighting Marion I’ll subscribe tooluv teresa❤❤❤
I was so happy how this turned out! It was my first hexi patchwork..👍🧵🪡
Thank you so much for sharing your tutorial with us. For the first time, I’ve watched a whole video and I really enjoyed every bit of it. I’ve made the Grandmother Flower Garden and it was a lot of work but I think I will enjoy making your version so much more. I enjoyed all of it and was truly amazed at how you put on the ‘binding’ it worked perfectly. I can’t wait to make this version of the hexagon! And belated ‘Happy Birthday’ 🗓️ I hope you had a wonderful day!
☺️💐👍🪡🧵
Really enjoyed this tutorial today, thanks Marion.
Very lovely
Beautiful hexies Marion. Is there anything you can’t do ! Your skills and knowledge are so inspiring 😊
Crikey.... there's so much to learn how to do. I always want to find out more.....
Beautiful use of old linens! Have a lovely day!
How lovely. A great way to do hexes. About 40 years ago I started a paper piecing Hexie quilt. Never finished it but have been considering using the pieces in another way. Some lovely material in it from scraps from sewing. Memories of clothing I had.
It's just the way I like to quilt. Using old clothes and all the memories attached to them. I know you can buy such amazing fabric these days. But they have amazing prices to match! And I just never could afford to buy them. So I went scrappy and quilted in the old sense of the way people used to do it. Using up old, worn out fabric, from wherever you could get it.
@@marionsworld24 I have remnants of an old blouse in it that I started making in sewing classes in the 70s. Mum bought me the material and I never took to it, but fine for a quilt
Hello Marion...I really like the idea of using the scraps to create something new and lovely especially with the old linens and embroidery. I appreciate your demos and sharing your talents. Blessings to you! And hope you had a great birthday!😊
You are such a great teacher - thank you!!
Another inspirational video, you make it look so simple ! Loving these extras, 😁💕xx
That's good. There's a few that will be filtering through I think...
First time watching your channel, subscribed🤗 so enjoyed your hexagon’s and learning needle lace. Your project is beautiful ‼️
Thanks Joy and welcome to my channel 😊
So beautiful table runner. Love the edging
Another brilliant video Marion. I love the table runner and your easy to follow needle lace demo. Another project I feel I will be adding to my list of things to do. You are so inspiring
I think the runner is beautiful and I can’t wait to try it. One question, does the hexiform wrinkle in washing or does it just wrinkle very badly?
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process. I do want to make a hexi project someday!
No time like the present!
Oh what fun you have shown us all. I just love Hexies too. I just bought a plastic pattern for the outside and the inside hexigon design. I just love using the old fabric and linens. I may have to make a little needle book, or something like a little just because stitching book with a cover from the hexies. I will have a think on this one. Your table cover looks amazing with all the different fabrics shining through. Thank you for another fun project.
You're most welcome Michelle.
My first quilt was a hexi, which I backed. I started a hexi quilt as you go but not tried the hexiform. I was going to buy precut hexies but I do have templates so I just cut them at leisure, as I'm just going to take my time with it. Nice to do a bit of hand stitching. I've done a mini dolls house size in the past. Fiddly. I agree it is a nice project to do.
I'd definitely cut them myself if I was doing a big project. But for my runner they worked really well. I'm still not quite finished the edging. I've been making a couple of dresses instead!
It was lovely listening to your explanation of the joy of QAYG hexies - I agree that the joy is no basting, a project that is completely finished when you are done and the beautifully framed miniature pieces of art! 😍 Such a nice touch to finish off with the needle lace. Hope you had a lovely birthday!😊
Thanks Leanne. It was about the same as usual. Stitching and crafting at something or other!
He informs? Who knew? I have to look for this type of facing for EPP. This is a huge time saver.
It's brilliant to work with...
Looks so very beautiful! Thanks so much, Marion, for a wonderful tutorial also🫶 I love watching your videos because I always learn something new. I’m definitely going to try all of this!🥰💞 I hope you had a wonderful birthday!!!🌸💐
Definitely try it... They're really quick to stitch and look so pretty too.
That's so beautiful! I did some needle lacing before and i didn't know what it was. I did it instinctively. Thank you for sharing! 🥰
I’m going to start one very soon 😊🇨🇦
Oh...I hope you do :)
This is such a good idea, and a brilliant way to use up all those vintage linens - I love it :-)
Hello Marion I missed this video, I don't think I had found you yet 9 months ago. I am sorry not to have mentioned you in my Monday video this week, one of my subscribers told me about it. . Love the needle lace, something i haven't tried yet. Your table runner is gorgeous ❤
Thanks Kathryn.
I haven't seen your video.... I'm behind again 😏
I really enjoy doing the qayg hexies. No stitching in papers only to pull them out again ☺️
The needlelace here is quite simple... just really blanket stitch made onto itself... It makes for a lovely finish. The runner is actually on my dining table now...👍
❤ TFS! Beautiful, I enjoyed this lesson immensely!
Thank again for sharing your makes, alway enjoy your videos, see you next time xx
This is so 80"s...love it i make bags , table runner, tea cup coster, pot holders and scrap quils...keep the hands busy of an evening watch
😂
Oh Marion your hexies are lovely. Easier than Japanese Folded Patchwork I did in a class a good 20 years ago! Admittedly the bags are so useful and been much admired over the years. I'm doing 1" hexies, 1.5" jewel shapes and others the old fashioned way but tacking and not using glue. I've never thought of doing a Needlelace edging. Fantastic. I've used ring sticks for making decorative circles and have an afficot and half acorns all made by a wood turner (I love Treen objects). Your videos are so inspiring thanks.
I'll have to look that up Jean. It's not something I've heard of before... How lovely to have a properly made afficot. I've been keeping my eye open for one for years when I go around the thrift shops or boot sales. Maybe I'll just have to make one for myself instead. I actually make wooden spoons, so it's not without the bounds of possibility.....
I made a quilt as you go hexi for my granddaughter a couple of years ago. I used fabric that were her favorite. It was fun to do. I never thought about a crochet edge. Thanks for a new idea. Yours is very pretty.
Thank you for the link, Marion! Your technique is very nice as I am intimidated with the traditional way of doing EPP. I feel your way is much more enjoyable. Thank you❤.
🌷tess
Well it's definitely more enjoyable to me... As I just don't like doing work only to take it out again.... Which is how I think of the papers etc.
What fab video, i so want to have a go at this, cant wait for your next installment, take care xxx😊
Oh, and happy birthday 🌺
Thank you. I don't feel 64.... I think I feel the same as I did in my 30's....? Probably anyway..... :)
Just found your channel and I’m thrilled! Beautiful needlework that I hope tp replicate some day! Happy belated birthday is in order! 🥳🎂 Take good care! Rebecca 😘❤️
Thank you Rebecca. And welcome to my channel. I'm pleased you found your way here!
Marion, you are fast becoming my one and only for instruction. I am just thrilled at your expertise and am a huge sponge. Thank you so much Connie 🌷🦋🦋🌷❤️
You're so welcome Connie..
Oh Marion, how beautiful. I have always found paper piecing either by hand or machine boring, but you girl make it exciting. Thank you.
The Hexiform makes it a pleasure.
I had forgotten about needle lace. I was taught at school many years ago. Thank you - you explain it so nicely 😉
Hi Marion 😊 I absolutely love hexies ❤ this QAYG hexie project is already on my to do list...that list is sewwww very long....someday someday....you are very inspiring!!! It's so nice seeing you today 😊 I like how we each have our own way of doing things...love your edging too....beautiful and yes as you said "satisfying"....thank you for being you 😘 🤗
Thank you so much Sheryl. I think we all have long lists of things we 'must' make someday. I know mine is endless!
Lovely! I'll try it, I actually have a bunch of hexagons cut out. I actually just made a regular quilt out of embroidered linen scraps but I have a bunch left.
Excellent way to use them up I think....
Hello Again Marion I do Love your hexies and its my favourite type of stitching too. I also use hexiform its so easy with that and I like the puffy look too. My daughter has bought be some Liberty Fabric for my Birthday and I intend on making some hexies with the beautiful fabric when it arrives. My sewing machine arrived too and I am really enjoying it. Thank You for sharing your hexies look so pretty too. Your ideas always amazing. Happy Belated Birthday too hope you enjoyed your Birthday.
What a wonderful birthday present! I hope you have a beautiful project to show it all off to good effect Tracy.
Thank You so much Marion 😊😊@@marionsworld24
Brilliant! Thank you so much for your tutorial. I have a jar of hexies that I made years ago. I have been wanting to make a pillow with them but was at a loss as to how to start. I love your channel. You are so artistic and have been enjoying your journey with UA-cam. Thank you for all the inspiration! I found your channel because of your bird embroideries but love all of your talents. Your needlebook on the table is beautiful. Take care! Tamara from Virginia , USA
I'm pleased you liked it Tamara. Thank you for taking the time to message me. I'm supposed to be making a new needlebook. 🤔 It might just be a New Year project...
H!! Thank you for this!! 😊
K3n Clothtales turned me on to this channel and I love it. I love your work and thank you for commenting as you go. I will try this edging on my quilt as you go project. I've just taught myself how to crochet through YT and I'll be honest I don't turn so well. I can go straight good and I can do a blanket stitch so I might be able to do this. Love your projects.
I love your videos ❤
Happy belated Birthday wish❤
Another enjoyable video, and another project I fancy having a go at! I absolutely loved your green man bag, would definitely love to buy one. Thanks again x
I'm investigating having them printed.....Fingers crossed...
Beautiful! Thank you, Marion😊
Happy Belated Birthday! I am going to try the hexi project
Hurrah!
Thank you for showing how to stitch the quilt as you go. I couldn’t get my head around it till I’d seen your video. I’m now confident I can do it. ❤
I'm really pleased this was helpful for you. It is quite an easy technique to do, especially if you enjoy hand sewing. I hope you give it a try 🧵🪡😊
Hello Marion I have just found your lovely inspirational crafty site. I have been binge watching past videos. Thank you so much for making these inspirational tutorials. I have been sewing and crafty for many years and love to try to learn new crafts. I love simple mindful sewing and take little projects with me when I go out for a walk. I take a flask of coffee with me and enjoy sitting on a bench at my local seaside with either sewing or knitting. I do find it very therapeutic to sew especially if I can listen to a new book on Audible. You are such a creative talented lady it is a joy to watch and learn from you. Sending you best wishes from a little part of south west England. x
So lovely thank you xxxx❤
So pretty!
Great video! Thank you!😊
I started making rosettes of epp hexagons when my husband started his cancer treatment, because they are so portable, but at some point I am going to have to stitch them all together. I have got about 200 rosettes at present and they just about cover the top of a double bed, so I will make a few more before I join them and decide whether to add wadding or just a backing.
It's such an easily portable thing to take with you and fill in the time for your hands and your mind. I hope your husband is managing with his treatment... I think you must be on a difficult journey... My thoughts are with you both.
Very pretty
Very pretty hexies!
Best wishes on your Birthday, and this is another lovely project. Thank you so much. I love the lace trim added by you. Its something I have always wanted to learn. See how you bless us by all your talents.
This bit of needle lace is quite simple but it really added a lot to the table runner...
Absolutely love your work !!!!!
Thank you so much for watching Susan... I really appreciate every single person who does!
❤❤
I so enjoy your company while I knit! 💚
That's lovely Virginia. Thank you. I've been thinking about my knitting... it's as the year turns cooler I start to knit or crochet...
Your dress that you are wearing is lovely and I like the button choices you made.
😂☺️
I absolutely love this - I love table runners and QAYG. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's on my table now!😊👍
Just came across your channel and I love it! You are so inspiring ❤️
Welcome Rachel. I hope you keep enjoying what I film. There's all sorts of bits and pieces going to be coming up I think.
@@marionsworld24 Thank you Marion.I shall look forward to it!
Good afternoon Marion, thank you for the link to the hexiform , have not quited for years but you definitely made want to give all ago . Thank you for sharing and giving such clear information. Soft hugs Teresa ❤
Thank you Teresa... :) It's quite a while since I started a new quilt, but these little hexies are so blooming addictive to make! Even just 1 attached to a Christmas present would be lovely...
I loved watching the tutorial on hexies👌😃 I learned so much from it. Thank you 😀
I'm pleased you did Angie. It's a lovely technique to have a try at. Easy to pick up and take with you to have something to do on the go too.
So very pretty! I would've never thought of the crocheted edge. It's lovely.
It's actually on my table now ☺️
You definitely could crochet the edge, but this edge is needle lace...
@marionsworld24 I should've watched the whole process through, and I would've seen that, sorry! I hate when people say I'm "knitting" when it's crochet. Or "crocheting" when it's tatting.
Regardless..... you did beautiful work, and I'll have to go back and watch the process. I've never seen it done. Thanks for your response. 🙂
Thank Marion for lovely video especially like the needle lace edging. I’ve done some and it’s quite relaxing. ❤😊
Brilliant!
Oh no! Another project idea to add to my list 😂 really love your runner Marion thank you
There's always more projects than time to do them! At least we're interested enough in making that we have lists though!
Happy belated birthday 😊
Thanks Gail!
Love the way you make the hexi’s and piece them together. I have been thinking of doing some hexi’s but I have been putting it off because I didn’t like all the work that other crafters show how to do it but you have totally changed my mind. Thank you!!😋🤗🤗
That was me too Brenda. I couldn't get past all that stitching in of papers only to have to take it all out again. These are just so great... No backing, no papers,... and you can cut the hexies yourself from batting if you want. The runner hasn't been off the table since!
I love EPP as well as QAYG hexies. There is something meditative about hand stitching. Happy belated birthday, you are a year younger than myself! Thank you for another great video, I find myself smiling when I watch you. Maybe it is because you get my creative juices flowing...
I like to hear that Rachel. I get inspired by what others are doing every day....
You’ve inspired me to start one of these with an embroidery in the centre of each one. It’s going to take some time, might add your daisy to one. ❤️
That sounds lovely Linda. I must say that the hexies with the old bits of embroidery in them are my favourite ones in the runner. I'm almost finished the edging. It's taken me ages, but it will be worth it when I'm looking at it on my table.....
I’m totally with you there. Why bother with all extra steps- yours is very nice. LOVE watching your work. Thanks Marion
You are so welcome... pleased you like it..
Learned something new again. I have never seen needle lace
It's a very old fashioned technique. I might be using it again in my stitch journal. Not quite yet though!
Marion what a great idea to do needle lace around the hexagons and it will be so much easier than having to make half hexagons to finish off the edge. I will do this with my hexagons I am stitching so thank you for that idea. Your runner is lovely and very person to you.
I actually made a couple of half hexies and attached them. I just didn't like the look of them at all I'm afraid. I don't know what anyone else does. I couldn't seem to find anyone doing anything in particular.
Think you need to put a border around them if you use half hexagons, but your idea was brilliant, thanks. I have such a lot of unfinished hexagons that I need to do something with. I just love making them.
You've got me hooked on hexagons after watching you stitch them on a previous video! I did mention your name and channel to the lovely people at Ashmead Designs during the Festival of Quilts where I had to buy some more hexagons of course! Your table runner looks amazing. I haven't decided what to make with mine yet. Best wishes and happy stitching as always.
Thanks for that Rachel.💐 I'm pleased to say that I actually finished the edging just a couple of days ago and now it's looking lovely on my table. I wonder what you'll end up making with yours 🤔🧵🪡
This is absolutely gorgeous! Do you make other projects with the hexagons? I’ve recently become in love with paper piecing- it’s so fun and relaxing!!! I have all these ideas of things I want to make! 🥰
I actually haven't... There are things I would like to do, but usually I only make something if I want it myself in the first place.
Looking at this video, I finished my last hexie with the Laura Ashley fabric. I had to make 12 hexies more to make a round (hexicagon) table cloth about 25 inch I sew them together with a thicker thread, but I haven't enough. Must buy new thread, because "plum"is a difficult colour what I do not have in my own" little shop." 😁 I love your hexies with the embroderie vintage fabric. And the fabric of your new dress is so lovely.
Thank you Marjan. I'll watch out for your post when you've finished sewing your hexies together...
The dress fabric is lovely thank you. I bought it in Menorca last year after I was on a retreat there in May. I found a most lovely fabric shop and this is one of the fabrics I brought back home.
Marion, have you ever tried running your thread across a damp sponge to straighten a twisty thread? I've done this sometimes with cross stitch floss. I enjoyed watching this video, particularly the lacy edging. It looked like a lot of fun to do!
I didn't think of that.. thank you for the suggestion 😊💐
2:55 can you make a tutorial on your needle 🪡 case/booklet? That's adorable 😊
I've been meaning to do one for ages 😅 just haven't seemed to get around to it yet...🧵🪡
My best part of your way is that you do it on a budget that’s good for all.xxxx🐝🐝🐝
That's because I never had a budget at all in the early days, when I was first married and had children. My family used to give me old clothes to cut up, and this was way before is was considered okay to upcycle. In fact , upcycle wasn't even a word! :) I always wanted to be able to buy Liberty fabrics, but it would have been impossible then, and now I just can't justify the expense. I think it's always helped my creativity to have to find another way to do what I wanted to do.
@@marionsworld24 that’s what I do.I cannot stand waste and if I’ve got anything that I can’t use I pass it on.I have a dress that’s very fine and I will cut that up for lavender bags.Full price makes me feel poorly.xxxx🐝🐝🐝
😊 Totally with you on that one Joy! I haven't bought new clothes for years. And that includes shoes, coats, everything. I make my own underwear, and although I do buy new fabric to make myself something special, I quite often just buy thrift shop clothes in good fabric that is worth me cutting up. I think we're on the right path! 💕
Love your work. How does this hold up to washing? Does it come apart when washing?
It's all fine. 😊
Thanks for the needle lace tutorial. Do you know of any books on the subject you'd recommend?
Sorry I'm afraid not. I just made it up as I went....
What is the overlap of the backing fabric? 1/2" ? Looks so beautifu?
Yes. About 1/2" ...enough to turn twice and hem around.
This is very beautiful! I really love it!!🤗😍
Hello, i don't have any of those Hexiforms, what can i use instead? I want to try this.
You can just cut ordinary wadding our instead. You will need two differing sizes of hexies. The font and the wadding will be the same size. The backing needs to be big enough to make a double hem around the front. They are very satisfying to make!
Okay, thank you so much! @@marionsworld24
