I LOVE how you've taken this in a new direction! Have you guys got a vertical design board to pin your hexies up so you can create a design? I can cut you more templates when you run out of those - I have more children's books! I have just finished my granddaughters quilt - it took me three years - so you take your time! much love xxx Kate

Of course we all love Kate ))))) She is us. Thank you for rescuing damaged embroideries to make into Hexagon quilt. There are beautiful textiles that cannot be restored, but they can be rescued for this )))). Splendid idea )))). Another Kate on the other side of the ocean.

I’m thrilled you care and taking time to repurpose those cloths

Several years ago my sister-in-law jumped up from the table saying "you're crafty, this would be something interesting to you" and came back in the kitchen with a box of things she found and brought home. In the box were many scraps of fabric and also a small bag with a few pieces of fabric sewn together and written on with pen. It was a quilting lesson by someone to teach someone else how to sew the fabrics together. They had written on the fabric, this much seam allowance and so on. My sister-in-law gave me the whole box and many, many months later I had a quilt made with all the fabrics in the box in honour of the lady I never knew but felt so connected to during that time. I did the exact same thing you are doing now. A hexagonal quilt in English paper piecing. It is on my bed right now and I will be crawling under it tonight. Thank you for reminding me of that lovely, slightly sad time. I hope that lady knows that someone loved and felt inspired by her efforts.

What a wonderful idea! I am working on a hexagon quilt of my own, also inspired by Kate. As a fellow thrifter, I salute your ingenuity in recycling vintage linens whose aesthetic no longer suits today's consumers.

I love your idea of using old thrift store textiles to make an English paper piecing quilt. You guys are amazing!

Thank you for showing another way to do hexagons. Absolutely love your desires and ideas in using thrift store finds in your projects. Gives me the itch to start something new.

Lovely friendship between beautiful people. Love Kate, Arne, and Carlos.

Thank you so very much, you two. Happy spring 🌼🌱❤️

I love Ms Kate! I’m sure I will grow to love y’all as well 😊

I'm 70 now, I'll have to live forever to do all these beautiful projects. I also go to the thrift store and get denim jeans and old shirts and make quilts and aprons.

Thank you, thank you! We've been trying to come up with a way to give new life to the dozens of embroidered pillow cases our grandmother left us. This is the best idea yet.

I love this episode! These beautiful old embroideries are finding new life in your hexagons! Please do show updates as your quilt develops!

I enjoy watching your ideas and new designs- Wednesday and Sundays-. Fun to see and learn- thank you!

English Paper Piecing is one of my favourite hobbies. I’m looking forward to seeing the finished quilt. 👍🏻🧵

You Tube at its best! Three creative people sharing and teaching your passions with us and giving us the inspiration to have a go. I enjoy watching Kate's channel too. Take care, love from the UK!

Love Kate and her lime sofa and love you, too!

Synchronicity! I am sorting the pieces from the jigsaw puzzle I just got from Kate while I watch you two having fun with her hexagons. At the same time I am soaking some sweaters I just inherited. They were made by my grandmother (who died in 2000) for my aunt (who just died this past October at the age of 96). I am sure they are over 30 years old. I am the keeper of the family textiles, including the embroidered table runners, as no one else is very interested in them. I'm honored by the position! You two and Kate add so much to our lives by keeping our hands busy with beautiful and happy things. Please never stop! ❤❤❤

Quilting✅ hexies ✅ Kate✅ Reworked textiles✅ great synchronicity, excited to see more 👏👏👏 Helen, WV

What a great idea to go to thrift shops for old embroidery, I just love that! I love Kates green couch and I do epp on the couch with her!❤😊

Kate, Arne and Carlos are the very best of you tube!!!! XOXO

Arne, to eliminate paper clips and hand stitching, you can use a fabric glue stick which is readily available in craft stores. It just makes the process easier and faster. You only need a very small amount on each edge and the paper template will pull out and can be used several more times.

That is a great idea. I can't wait to see the finished quilt. I love Kate. I found you by watching her make your star light for Christmas during the pandemic.❤😊

Two of my favourite channels working together with inspiration, love, respect, admiration and most importantly friendship. I love the way you inspire each other. It’s so funny to think that I found Kate, who doesn’t live very far from me, by watching two guys in Norway. Just proves it’s a small world. Thankyou to all 3 of you, plus Kate’s daughter in law Anna and Eric, Anna and PJ. You all work together to make the world a happier place xXx

I absolutely loved watching Kate make her hexagon quilt for her granddaughter. It is so great that you are also using her gifted hexagon's for such a creative project. Working together will make it that much more fun. It took Kate 3 years to finish so you have no time constraints other than wanting to see the results. It will be a beautiful heirloom piece for your home. I am always amazed at how you use thrift store finds and turn them into fantastic new projects. Love it.

I watch a lot of KZread and I have you to thank for it. So much to learn from so many who want to share their passions with the world.

Such a beautiful way to use vintage embroidered linens ... which I love collecting from thrift stores too! ♥

We need a Hexagon cruise with Kate too!

Wonderful idea. Fun . I watch both Kate and you. Thank you for the enjoyment

I found you guys thru Kate a couple years ago and haven’t missed a video of your guys yet 😊

Love the collaboration between two lovely channels... Bravo on the reuse of these fabulous pieces 👏

Kate will be impressed. Beautiful idea.

It's so interesting to see how you envision the hexagons versus how Kate makes hers. Very creative. Looking forward to seeing your progression.

Yes, I too met Kate through you guys... Lovely lady I watch her every week too.... I started a hexagon quilt, I have about 100, 😊 but it's a long term project....

Absolutely lovely🌸. I love everything this quilt represents…..friendship, thrifting, reusing and textiles. Just perfect!

I know this is a long term project and I look forward to seeing your progress and the grand finale of a finished quilt.

I don’t know how I missed seeing this until now! You are both so creative! I started a hexagon quilt along with Kate but put it down and haven’t picked it up in several years! Please film more quilting videos! I love everything you do but find the quilting so relaxing! Thank you for doing this!

I enjoyed this very much. I look forward to the 2nd installment. Thank you

What a lovely joint collaboration to recreating a textile piece of a handmade work of art. Since watching Kate I have learned to also appreciate the recycled use of old children’s books. Thank you for showing us how to cut and resize hexagons to create larger cutting areas and vice versa.🪡💕🧵I have many family heirlooms to sift through now in my fine linen drawers. To be able to make hexagon doilies for furniture mats is also an option.

I have so many of these that i inherited. Always wanted to use them but never knew exactly what to do with them. You have inspired me! You guys are the best.

Those make beautiful hexagons! Much love!

What a great idea to recycle old dresser scarves, hankies, or tablecloths. It will be a beautiful quilt. I follow Kate as well. Thanks for sharing 😊

That is a brilliant idea, and so beautiful. I can't wait to see your process. I enjoy watching you both. With such good ideas. Have a wonderful day. 😊

I love your use of these fabrics for the paper piecing! Beautiful, I will have to incorporate some of those in my paper stitching ❤❤

Lovely and your collaboration and embracing the repurpose of things. 😊

Love those beautiful curtains. You guys have the touch. 🫶

I too am a big fan of Kate. Your Hexie design using embroidered fabric is brand idea. Can't wait to see final creation. Sandra from Tennessee USA

beautiful! looking forward to seeing more progress on these lovely hexagons! love watching Kate at The Last Homely House too

What a fabulous idea for breathing new life into pieces of fabric that don't fit modern aesthetics. I turned machine embroidered pillowcases into slip covers for metal coat hangers.

Brilliant idea!! Great Job Carlos & Arne!

I would like to see how you are going to finish the edges once it is all pieced together. I have a quilt top all pieced together but I’m not sure how to finish it. Love watching you guys from Minnesota!

Thank you for sharing your talents, this project is beautiful!

I love working with hexagons. I started patchworking back in the early l950s using this method and a large bag of 1930/40s dressmaking scraps. I was 12 years old! I actually never finished that project but I did it again in the 70s also with a large bag of scraps saved from being thrown into landfill and I made a circular skirt which I wore for many years. I I continued with hexagons for a few years, and enjoyed using the fabric patterns to create other designs as you are doing here. I am so looking forward to following this project. And the paper hexagons are definitely worthy of preserving in a scrapbook too. The paperclips are a great idea! 😀❤

Fabulous use of vintage tablecloths

I use paperclips too; a little glue stick will also help, especially with your larger hexies that are just made with copy paper. I have made a hexie quilt, and have repaired a very old torn one for a friend. Lots of time!

What a super episode. You are so creative. I love how you made a large hexagon to accommodate some of the beautiful larger motifs. It’ll be interesting to see progress over the months and years ahead. 👋🏻 xx

What a great idea! I have been collecting vintage embroidery to make pincushions and needle books. Now I can make hexagons as well😄. I am sure Kate will pick up on this idea as well.

Maybe you could the embroidery piece you like so much as a quilt, curtains and/or pillows for the doll house. I really love the idea you have for the hexagons made from the beautiful embroidery pieces.

What a wonderful idea! I like how you incorporated the bigger pieces in a bigger hexagon that fits with the smaller ones. I am going to use it in one of my hexagon projects!

Hand made linens are treasures handed down, and this is a wonderful way to keep enjoying them. Smaller rectangle shaped ones can be used for decorative bed cushions.

This is more my speed, love how you can and do so many crafts❤

I am also a follower of Kate. I love her videos on the English paper quilting and Kate's hexagon quilt making. I really appreciate and enjoy your idea of using antique linen embroidery. You really have a good process tutorial .Thank you so much. Again a great friendship sharing of a great creative art, Kate, Arne and Carlos.
