WOW!! Just found you tonight. Feel like jumping on a plane from Raleigh, North Carolina so I can be at your shop when it opens in the morning!!! GREAT videos!!! Thank you so much. Now I have to go visit your on-line shop. 🙂
This was a wonderful tutorial! Thank you for making it very clear and to the point. It really made sense. I love that you didn’t use paper. Going to be my new favorite hobby! 😊
Thanks Jo - you’ve made this very achievable by providing fully prepared kits; and clear video instructions; thankyou! I can’t wait to make this; the Tilda fabrics are so perfect for this project.
You are doing such a great job on your videos - thank you. They are easy to understand, simple and I can actually see what you are doing - love, love the crocheted edges can't wait to see. Just can't say enough about how much I loved this. ❤❤
Ive got a few orphan hexi tops to finish! They are complete except for a few on one and a couple flowers on another! They are done this way ! Ive got the extra fabric and am now good to go ! Thanks! 🎉
Having developed an interest in EPP but finding the small hexis and papers annoying, I am thankful for this different method. Hand sewing is my favorite thing to do and I will give this a try as soon as I get settled. Thank you !
Every thing is perfect, super well explained, and clear footage! Thanks a lot. I just think you should link in the description box to your website with the direct page for the kit. That’d probably help with your sales
Thank you for this video. I want to do the bigger hexagon quilt and really didn't want to do the papers or a sewing machine. So this works beautifully. I love the look of the quilt as well. Have a wonderful day.😊
I am hand sewing and hand quilting a huge T-shirt quilt and I wanted to match up the frame and borders on the front and back. It was such a huge challenge and I did eventually succeed because this is only my second quilt. I wish I had known about using a pin to match it up. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for sharing Learnt how to quilt properly was doing it through trial and error and was not getting a proper nest finish Thanks will now make it this way
Here in Texas, we have By Kate which makes stamps ( like rubber stamps offices use) in so many different shapes, sizes. You stamp, cut & sew. Seam allowances are printed on. Easy peasy! I cut mine with pinking shears
Back in the 70's I found an old hexagon quilt top at a rummage sale, repaired it, backed it and quilted it. I saved old pieces I cut off and that started my love of collecting vintage fabrics. I then made a hexagon quilt and did it this way. I am in the USA so never heard of EPP. I have since tried it but found it too time consuming. I would like to order your kit but see no info.
I’m loving this method. I’m using (1.5” sides) hexagons and making the granny squares. Nervous how I’ll connect them all and what to do about the sides. I don’t crochet!!
At a tag sale I found a bag of diamond shape pieces, could that process work on those. In that bag there’s probably hundreds upon hundreds. I think I’m gonna get my quarter inch ruler out and I think I’m gonna try.
Thank you! This is a wonderful technique. I'm new to EPP which is rather tedious. I've tried both gluing and stitching. I love making smaller hexies and will figure out how to use them later. Is the fabric with little houses still available? I'll check your website.
Hi Kay, that's great to hear and I had exactly the same thoughts when I first started. This way is so much quicker. I'm unsure on which fabric you are referring too. Can you let me know what print you have seen on there and I can check our stock. I do have a few options left and may not be on our website. Thanks Jo😊
I love this method and have started one. Can you tell me how you actually assemble this top?Is it easier to go in rows? I need guidance .Thank you so much.
Hi Kathy, I assemble mine in a grandmothers garden pattern, then add two or three hexies to join my next grandmothers garden. You can do it in rows but I find this the most effective way.😊
@ElsieGrays thank you. After I put that comment, I went back and read the pattern again and saw what you used! Sorry, the answer was right there all along!
@@ElsieGraysI forgot to tell you that I got my kit. My daughter and her boyfriend absolutely love it. They don’t know it’s for them. I’m trying the quilt as you go method and I’ll email pictures when I’m successful.
Hi Nicole, We can set Germany up as a shipping destination if you were interested in purchasing. At the moment it costs us about $55AUD to ship outside of Australia and we charge $35AUD. Let us know and we can set up if necessary.😊
Hi Jenni, Yes you can. Best way is to purchase 4 of the pre-cut packs of 100 @ $59ea. The kits consists of this many and we will supply a pattern/instructions at no charge for you. If you choose to make your quilt bigger all you need to do is purchase extra packs. Hope this helps.
Hi Tammie, You can order the kit from our website www.elsiegrays.com.au On the home page under collections just click on Joanna's Hexie Garden Quilt and all the colour options will show.
You should change the title of this video; you`re not showing how to quilt it; you`re showing how to make the hexagon patchwork. Patchwork = sewing pieces of fabric together. Quilting = sewing layers of fabric, where sometimes one of the layers is made from patchwork, together. In speech, this doesn`t matter. But when putting the wrong word in the title of a video; people don`t find what they need. I need a video on quilting, not patchwork. " How to handsew a Hexagon Patchwork".
I’m sorry you have had trouble interpreting our title. No where does it say we are quilting, so we are happy to stick with our terminology. I hope you find what you’re looking for.
& 60 years later you find a pile of half sewn scraps of fabric that mom or gran started & you put it away believing you will finish the family heirloom only for a further 60 years to pass when your own daughter discovers the heirloom & throws it in the skip!
That's likely what my family will inherit. I've been making up 1 inch hexies for a few years, just haven’t started putting them together. It's easier to simply make them! 😆
So glad I found you. The crocheted edge really makes the quilt special. What a great idea.
WOW!! Just found you tonight. Feel like jumping on a plane from Raleigh, North Carolina so I can be at your shop when it opens in the morning!!! GREAT videos!!! Thank you so much. Now I have to go visit your on-line shop. 🙂
😂 Thank you so much for your kind words and a shame we are so far away. Feel free to contact us anytime with any questions. 😊

That is how I did my entire grandmother’s flower garden quilt. I didn’t use EPP templates. I also cut all my pieces by hand.
Almost done with my epp 1 1/2" hexi queen size quilt top. Will try this next.
Thanks for showing me how simple this pricing method is. Can’t wait to start!

I love this quilt! Great tutorial!
Just found your channel. Love how you get right to the video.
Thankyou Jo, I feel more confident to try hand piecing now.
Very pretty!
I've stopped.crocheting, though, so, I'll be making a binding. Your edge is a nice touch!]

Beautiful projects and videos. Thank you for sharing your techniques! 😍❤
I’ve done a few scrap hexagon quilts with epp, but this is a new idea for me! Thanks..🇦🇺💖
Thanks for your message and glad you enjoyed it. I only used papers previously as well but this method is so much quicker. 😊
Really beautiful, unique patterns. So pretty! I am eager to try your well instructed techniques!
Love it! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing

I take it you have to have a collection of ink pads for the various shapes? Where in TX?
This was a great tutorial "tysm" 😊
Very inspirational!
Gorgeous jo
Good work.

Something very different to try thank you,

Beautiful quilts and I am really enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing your techniques I was wondering what size hexi template did you use?
Thank you for your message. We used a 1, 3/4" template on this project.
I love this method and have started one. Can you tell me how you actually assemble this top?Is it easier to go in rows? I need guidance .Thank you so much.
Hi Kathy, I assemble mine in a grandmothers garden pattern, then add two or three hexies to join my next grandmothers garden. You can do it in rows but I find this the most effective way.😊
@@ElsieGrays Thank you. Going to try it.
I love this! Do you have any shops selling your kits in the US?
Hi and thanks for your message. We only sell direct worldwide from our website. Unfortunately freight on bulk orders is to high from Australia.
I love this, and no papers! Is your template for this a 3”?
On this particular quilt the hexagons are cut at 2,1/4” with a 1/4” turnover. I like this size but anything between 1,1/2 and 3” will look effective.😊
Vous faites ça à la main ???
C'est 🌺très 🌺très beau
Vraiment 🌹🌹🌹
Et ❤les couleurs ❤aussi bien-sûr
Yes this is all done by hand.😅
What size were those hexagons?
the hexagons on this quilt were cut at 2,1/4” with a 1/4” seam so end up with a finished size close to 1,3/4”
I would love to know the size of your hexagon please.
What colour binding did you use for the hexi garden?
Hi Kaye, I just used the same fabric as I used on the backing fabric as it is mostly hidden with the crocheted edge. I hope this helps.😊
@ElsieGrays thank you. After I put that comment, I went back and read the pattern again and saw what you used! Sorry, the answer was right there all along!
Great Jo Would you do this with Liberty? Miss the giggles
Hi Janet, Yes we will hopefully expand options in the future. Missing you too.😊
Did you use the ruler for the measuring around the fabric or did you use the mat for measurement?
Hi Rachael, We use a ruler with a quarter inch line on it for accuracy.
Thank you. Do you sell them? I’m a beginner to this and just got the project bag kit as a gift.
Hi! It’s been awhile but I just ordered your hexie garden kit without the yarn. I’ll let you know how it goes….
thank you Jenni! on its way
@@ElsieGrays I’m going to experiment with the hexies. If I’m successful I’ll send pics. 📸
@@ElsieGraysI forgot to tell you that I got my kit. My daughter and her boyfriend absolutely love it. They don’t know it’s for them. I’m trying the quilt as you go method and I’ll email pictures when I’m successful.
Hello. How much shipping do you Charge to send such a Kit tmo Germany?
Hi Nicole, We can set Germany up as a shipping destination if you were interested in purchasing. At the moment it costs us about $55AUD to ship outside of Australia and we charge $35AUD. Let us know and we can set up if necessary.😊
What size hexagons are these?
Hi Lisa,
The hexagons are pre-cut at 2,1/4". Allowing for a 1/4" seam they will have a finished size of 1,3/4".
Can I order a kit without the yarn?
Hi Jenni,
Yes you can. Best way is to purchase 4 of the pre-cut packs of 100 @ $59ea. The kits consists of this many and we will supply a pattern/instructions at no charge for you. If you choose to make your quilt bigger all you need to do is purchase extra packs. Hope this helps.
@@ElsieGrays It does!! Thank you!! 😊
@@ElsieGrays Do you sell batting? How much should I get for a twin size?
Were do I order the kit from?
Hi Tammie, You can order the kit from our website www.elsiegrays.com.au
On the home page under collections just click on Joanna's Hexie Garden Quilt and all the colour options will show.
Isn't this done by sewing mashine 😮? Will take for ever...
If you were doing it by machine you would have to do Y seams which is time consuming itself. By hand is actually much quicker.
@@ElsieGrays I really want to try this!
