For Agnes to have this quilt, which her Grandmother's hands have lovingly touched, is a great treasure for years to come. To think Grandmother's fingers have been over every inch. Grandmother's eyes seeing the pattern unfold, her thoughts when making the quilt; everything is a special gift.

My grandmother and great grandmother plus her sister quilted me a quilt they put away till I married I lived with my husband for 4 years before we finally tied the knot and Nan would not give me the quilt until the wedding.🤣😂🤣. I used the quilt, I didn’t let it just sit away somewhere as it had languished for about 12 years already. It’s now falling apart, beyond repairing , holes and just threadbare but it was loved and felt like a hug from these very loved and important women in my life. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

Agnes's quilt is truly a work of art! And made by the loving hands of her grandmother makes it priceless.

Someone gave me a great tip. She hole punches the middle of the paper piece so that when it comes to taking it out, she uses a small chop stick type device to just flip out the paper pieces. So quick n easy.

The movement of color around this quilt is absolutely dreamy, like swimming in a sun-dappled lagoon. Honestly it belongs in a museum but I'm glad it'll be put to use and loved. I'm sad to see the scalloped edges go, but excited to see where your artistic vision takes the project.

Kate I enjoyed this video as I do all of them, but this one in particular, tugged at my heart. I am a quilter but even if I wasn't, I would realize how special this quilt is. When a quilter gifts a bed quilt, especially one that they hand stitched, they are giving more than a collection of fabric sewn into a blanket. Every quilt has a story to tell and a piece of the maker goes with it. It is the most beautiful feeling to experience. Agnes will be enchanted to sleep and dream under the colours of her grandmother's love. From your hands to her heart. Memories never forgotten. ❤️

I spent a fun afternoon with my 96 year old mother today. I took my iPad with me and played one of the videos about Norma. Then I read your book about Norma to my mother. Her vision is really bad and she can’t see to stitch anymore so I thought this would be something enjoyable and different for her. She really did enjoy seeing the video and the reading of Norma’s story. Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us.

I was further off I knew it had to be at least more than 500 hexagon but over 700 wow the work you have put into this has been worth every minute xo

Your quilts are beautiful but this one is absolutely AMAZING!! Your grandaughter is lucky to have you.

This stunning quilt is truly priceless, given the many stages, the amount of work, the love for a granddaughter that has gone into it...what an heirloom. What a precious reminder for Agnes as she grows up. I never even knew this was a thing, even an elderly woman like me can learn and love something new. Thank you, Kate and cats from Kaye and cats, in Australia.

A labour of love and art...what a treasure this will be to Agnes. I picture Agnes on top of it with her little fingers traveling to wherever the colors take her.

But there is just something so soothing and wonderful about your calm, slow manner. Just as in the two years it has taken to make Agnes’ quilt, with even more months yet to go, haste is not in your nature!! With that i can so identify.

Oh, Kate, I wish I could have those threads for my artwork! By the way, I have finished the piecing of my English paper pieced quilt for my daughter, and have chosen the way to do the edge (I made a border of "facing octagons" and will sew them along to be the very edge of the quilt). I took out the papers as I went, but don't worry, there's no chance that any of the stitching is going to be pulled or weakened. I took your teaching seriously and was super careful and especially at any corner that met another corner! So we will be likely quilting together from our different countries. I can't thank you enough for the kind instruction you provided to all of us so we could enjoy this wonderful British skill.

So beautiful! Can’t wait to see the quilting and finished quilt.

It’s just beautiful Kate…I’m looking forward to seeing the coming videos on the finishing especially the quilting . You inspired me to start a Hexie quilt but it’s only a cot sized …It’s a eye spy themed and I can’t believe how obsessed I become hunting out appropriate fabric 😂.I’m making it for a grand baby yet to be made and born for my youngest daughter because sadly I might not be around when that happens due to major health problems.

Truly Kate, I just don’t know if my glueing hexies or your sew basting them makes a scrap of difference. I’m undoing mine now, some glue is really stuck, others lift out beautifully. Guess I got too generous with my glue pen. I use 80/20 wadding for children, very washable and warm, BUT, I’m told bamboo is best, bit more expensive. Each to their own eh? Looking super, you must be pleased. I’ve started something a bit different too, Tula Pinks lovely rainbow colours called “ Tulas Bloomers”. So much easier than my Millefiori with tiny triangles, hexies and diamonds! Good luck my friend

If you run e.g. a knitting needle, chopstick or similar pointy thing along the seam allowance this will release the glue and enable you to take the papers out easily without distorting the fabric. If it is really stuck a hit with a bit of steam will also soften the glue. I glue baste and this is what I do.

Folding the edges back to create a straight edge is genius! I've got to remember that. I love wool batting. It's amazingly light and drapes so nicely. It's also great for cool or warm weather. Can't believe you've gotten this done. It's turned out so pretty!

What a beautiful quilt! I’m reaching out to your viewers after watching. I subscribed to you when you started this. Almost two years later, I have over 2000 hexies ready to piece together and fabric for several hundred more cut into squares. Most of the fabric was from scraps I kept after sewing hundreds of face masks to donate when the pandemic first started. For my first EPP quilt, I decided to randomly piece without a pattern in mind. I have a large piece sewn together that is equivalent to maybe a fifth of what I planned to do, also for my granddaughter. She was born shortly before I started treatment for my second round of breast cancer. Now I know I will never be able to finish it. I have severe neuropathy in my hands and feet and cannot hand stitch for very long. If there is anybody out there who would like to receive all the hexies I have ready to go, please let me know. I would much rather pay the shipping to somebody who will use it than to let it sit here, untouched, until after I’m gone. Contact me here and we can email. Thank you.
