Weekly Slowstitch 2024 - Week Five

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Week five of my weekly slowstitch-along for 2024. This week's prompt is 'hidden histories, untold stories ' and it's inspired by the beautiful English paper pieced coverlets in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the museum of the Quilters' Guild of the British Isles. Many of these precious quilts still have the papers in giving us an insight into the lives of the people who made them.
The book I show is called Quilts 1700 to 2010 from V&A Publishing, edited by Sue Pritchard and is available online from various sources, new and second hand.
My hexagons have 3/4" sides and the piece of paper I use from which I cut my templates measures 6" x 3 and a 1/2".

    My mother in law loved cutting out quilt pieces. When she passed away we found tins and baskets filled with quilt pieces and the beginnings of quilts. My sister in law has since finished all the quilts for her children and grandchildren.

    I love watching your videos and listening to you 'wittering'. I started stitching 1 inch hexagons together while accompanying my husband to chemo and radiotherapy. I sewed them in groups of 7 and they are now waiting for me to stitch them together as a whole. I'm hoping I will have a quilt to cover our bed when I have finished, but as we are in the process of selling up and moving I've had to pack them all away for now.

    Katherine, I am so grateful for your channel. Years ago I started needleworking and using fabric in non-traditional hand done ways, but I didn’t know about slow stitching and I also felt constricted by these internalized rules of sewing. Finishing edges properly, keeping things square. Your channel has helped free me and show me that I can stitch and use fabric however I like and I feel so thankful for that. Thank you for inspiring us! ❤

    Hi, Kathryn! This was for me a true class. I had never heard about this type of quilting, because I know almost nothing about it, I never tried it, but I was fascinated with the papers hidden in the quilts. I love hidden places, I am making three fabric books with lots of things that belonged to my family and the books have lots of places to hide things. Thanks for this so interesting information. I stopped the video to look up the poem. It really touched me, because I was that person, until 2013, when I had breast cancer and started seeing life really differently. Even in my worst moments (2023 was one of the worst years of my life), I now sing. I may sing sadly, but I sing nonetheless. I always love your company, because I am always stitching along when I watch your videos, so I like them long too 😉 💙🩷💜🩵💛💚🤍♥️🧡🤎

    So excited about this video! I have never sewed a quilt before but recently came across EPP and dived right in. I enjoy hand stitching a lot so this is perfect. I am using material from my mother in law's sewing stash, who passed suddenly a few years ago and is deeply missed. I have learned new things about EPP while watching this video. It is nice to see you chat with us on camera in the beginning and you do make it feel like I am sitting right there listening. I was not sure I would like the tea dyed look of the material but seeing it now, WOW!!!!! Love it. Thank you as always.

    Excited for this week. I love EPP and have a king sized 1 inch hexagon quilt on the go at the moment. Using up my stash and sewing together as a colour wash. Inspired by Kate at The Last Homely House when she did a quilt for her granddaughter Agnus. I have over 4,000 thread basted hexagons done (whilst having chemo last year gave me a good chunk of time) and 772 sewn together so far. On my week 3 piece I did some 1cm hexagons. That was fun but soooo tiny!!

Such patience but so worth it ❤️ When I was nursing in London (many years ago!) my flatmate (hi Jan!!!) handstitched a huge EPP quilt of pink, blue and cream hexagons all in Laura Ashley fabrics. She sent the company a photo of it and they put the actual quilt in the window of their Sloane Square branch. We were so proud of her!!! Mary x

We sew one each time we listen to the weekly videos😂. I’ll watch the video and just enjoy by listening and glancing up and seeing what I’ll need to prepare for and then go back and relisten and watch when I start actually making the item. (Btw the tribbles reference is from the old Star Trek shows from when I grew up and there was an episode where there was “trouble with tribbles”-little furry creatures that kept multiplying lol.

    I have been sewing since I was able to hold a needle. When I was five I made my teddy a dress. I cried when my mum had to cut the stitching away from the table cloth. On Saturdays I meet with my daughter and three of my granddaughters to do crafts . We have been doing this for some years. We did week 4 stitching and two of my granddaughters found it very difficult to not look at the strips. We will be doing week 5 this Saturday. I am basing all mine on the community where I live and I will make them into a small quilt.

In my vast country most people have been living so poorly " in the woods" , just battleling to survive in the cold and often also hunger that there haven't been almost anything left for making beauty. 😊We don`t have much quilting in our textile history cotton having been in those days quite expensive.

    So happy I found your channel. I’m really enjoying your videos. I knit while I’m listening. I always wanted to try paper piecing and didn’t know how to do it. I do sewing machine quilting but would like to try hand sewing. Looking forward to your log cabin. Keep your videos going. Also your have a very nice voice.

    I love your videos. Congratulations on 25K subscribers! When I sit and watch your videos I work on something (today I knit a washcloth) and I honestly feel like I'm sitting down with a friend who is also crafting, and teaching me about what they are working on. Your videos are so lovely and welcoming- so informative and instructional without being strict. I keep telling myself that I will make myself a weekly stitch journal and make these wonderful prompts - but I have yet to. Maybe I will catch up one day.

    Thank you for sharing the book and some background on the paper piecing. The hand stitched cloth left with baby Charles is most poignant. A piece of tangible part of his mom/family. In that note, I think leaving some kind of writing on the material gives it its history and personal touch. Love your channel. And thank you for a long video upload, it’s more substantial than reels. 🌷Tess

    I love watching you do traditional EPP, I have been watching Emma Jones do it so I am giving it ago. It is like teaching an old dog new tricks as I am from farm land in Illinois USA and was taught to piece hexagons 60 years ago with no papers. The ladies all made Grandmother's flower garden quilts out of old linens and clothing. I as taught as a child to measure with a tiny tailors rule and make marks for a 1/4 inch seam, but after you had done it awhile you just knew 1/4 inch. I'm sure I won't change my methods at this late date but this was fun to try it. I am Gloria on Facebook.
