Brimfield Awakening at Quiltcon 2024 in Raleigh
The Brimfield Awakening English Paper Piecing booth at QuiltCon 2024 in Raleigh was BUSY! It was also filled with many familiar Sew Brimfield retreat faces that made us smile. We would like to thank Laura and Cindy for all the demos they gave at the demo table and Lorena for the extra set of hands during booth set up and during the crunch times during the show. Sew Brimfield alumni gathered at the Raleigh Times restaurant to eat and catch up. We also had a wonderful opportunity to do a hands on class and demo in the Spoonflower booth where we made English Paper Pieced ornaments using 1" jewels and some fabulous Spoonflower lawn fabric chosen from the many talented designers. We picked a w...

Hexiform is definitely an upgrade for a very vintage craft. What is it made from?
Hello talented Kim! I love your little tuts! I also love the Bobbinator! Just wanted to add three comments. I like to put several colors and two shades of gray in the chamber if I am working with lights & dark fabrics. Super easy to rotate your colors from the bottom chamber to the top chamber. I sometimes if piecing as a passenger in the car, will run a ribbon thru my Bobbinator and make a necklace to put on my neck. Hate looking for “bobbin get-aways” in the car. And if the bottom chamber is empty. I can store:park my needles in the lower chamber. Lastly, when piecing in my “nesting chair” that marvelous Bonninator, does not roll off my side table. Both top and bottom lids are formed like a pencil…. No rolling here. ❤❤❤ Love your hints!
Jan - fabulous points all around!, especially the no rolling away. That is so true. And how clever to store your needles in the bottom chamber... I have been storing mine in my sewline glue refills (and then almost tossed them!)
Your work is amazing I hope I can make quilts as good as you one day been doing it 2 years now think I need to start on different shapes now so gonna try your curved pieces next month when get £💸💵💷👸🫅🫅
You got this :-) We hope if you give one of our designs a try that you'll tag us on Instagram @brimfieldawakening because we would love to follow along with what you make! xo - Kim + Nisha
I think I would like it for really small pieces. But, I wanna learn more…. Particularly making my own.
I have a question, not a comment. I’ve just recently started doing EPP, and don’t know what all I need to make a quilt with this beautiful pattern. I know I need the pattern and the paper pieces, do I need the acrylic templates as well ? Anything else (other than fabric😂) ? Thanks. Loved your presentation. Susan
It Is very worth it! I’m making tumbling blocks with 2 1/2” diamonds in hexiform love them.
Please let me know how to order the template and instructions for this quilt. Couldn't find it.
Hi 👋🏻 visit brimfieldawakening.com. Once there under the shop section click on “Brimfield Block” for pattern, papers + acrylics.
Beautiful! Please keep more ideas coming ….
Yikes! How did we miss your awesome comment? Just a heads that we DID release a new design last week called Quaker Acres Quilt. You can see it the easiest way by going to our website www.brimfieldawakening.com or just searching the hashtag #quakeracresquilt on Instagram. We hope you love it!
I want it
So how stuff is the quilt after you ashing? Just curious
Yes I would thank you
Sounds like hexi form is the way to go
Hey! I follow you on IG. Had no idea you were here too!
Where do you purchase the hexie form
at we.brimfieldawakening.com 💙
Eager to make the Brimfield star but confused about the three different sizes of papers and templates. What are the finished block sizes for each size and what should be ordered to make a block a 12 inch block. Thank you
Hi there - sorry we missed your question earlier. Okay, the Brimfield Block Star original size finishes at 12.5". Baby Brimfield star finishes at 50% that size (6.25") and Bitty Brimfield Star finishes at 25% of the original - ~3.13". You want to make the original Brimfield Block Star size, so you should go to our website and click on the "Brimfield Block STAR" section. You can purchase bulk packs (to make 12 blocks) or single packs to make just one block. Thanks for asking!
Yes!!😊
So do you still use a batting with it etc?
yes💙✂️🪡🧵
Love Emmies channel! She’s so relaxing!
Where are you located?? Can we order by internet?? I like your big big stuff and all the colours!
I'm brand new to EPP. So new I've made two hexi flowers. That's it. I'm attempting to make a bowl now where I have to leave the papers in, and I think the hexiform would be much more fun to leave in to give it a softer look. I'll have to see if I can find the hexiform materials.
we carry Hexiform here in the states at www.brimfieldawakening.com 🥰
This stuff is a brilliant idea but does it make the EPP an expensive hobby?
Just found your channel and I am a beginner to EPP. I would love to learn more about the hexiform.
Yes
Are they available in Australia please?
I am not sure. However, we ship to Australia. Our shipping calculator always crazy overestimates the shipping fee and it will scare you off big time. However, we refund shipping overages greater than $1. When we go to actually ship your parcel and know the exact fee, we take care of the refund. Hope that helps! www.brimfieldawakening.com
👍🏻😀
I love hexiform! I'd love to see some of your epp sets done with hexiform...that'd be so fun!
Stay tuned!
@@BrimfieldAwakening 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Do they ship to US???? I’d love to use these!!!!
Michael Burford Yes and I believe the shipping is rather affordable and it doesn’t matter the quantity that you order as it is a flat rate.
We'll be offering pre-sales this weekend for ordering Hexiform both in our Brimfield Block shapes and hexies and petals :-) Stay tuned to our Instagram account for the incoming details!
I want to make this !! What do I need to make this ? I live in Canada.

i found it, great store
you're great, where is your store?
Beautiful ❣️❣️❣️
Hello. My question is if you take the paper off from the fabric before sewing? and do you sewing or glue it ? I would like to see the process. Thank you.
Hi Lee, yes, before we appliqué the blocks down to the background square we pop the papers out. We use Roxanne glue paste it and small dots all around the blocks edges and then heat set with an iron. After that you can appliqué by machine or by hand. Our pattern goes over our step-by-step process and you can find it on our website at www.brimfieldawakening.com
Don't know where you are located but sure wish it were close to me. I would love to learn EPP and Lucy Boston....Love your tutorial on choosing the correct fabric. Thank you
Ohhh great advice a gift from God as I begin my new journey into e.p.p.
I
It would have been really helpful to see a fabric without mirror image and one with...I'm still not understanding that part. Thank you for the enlightening video!
Where can these templates be purchased? Thx
I just noticed you carry yarn too. Field trip!
Wow! Love her combination of fabrics!
gloriwest Rhea is •the• EPP Queen!
This is awesome! I really needed this, my fussy cutting looked like poop lol.
Love the window templates!
You know, they love you back!!
This is a fantastic idea.
Thank you! We hope to have you stitching with us!!
Where are you? Where is that fabric Shop? Please provide a link? Great video.
bjquilts29 hi! This shop is in Damariscotta Mills, Maine (near the coast.) go to www.alewivesfsbrics.com 😊
Brimfield Awakening Thank you.r
@@bjquilts29 thank you for the answer!! You will have a new client!
Hi Sidney, future videos are in the works. But in the meantime, the answers to your questions are in the Brimfield Block Pattern☺️
nice video, wish you would have shown the steps in glueing or sewing the fabric to the template. Is there a certain side you start with first?
What glue do you use that "heat sets".
Susan Maddox Hi there. I think any of the washable glue’s sets a little stronger when you put an iron to it. In this example I think I was just using my sewline glue pen which is the glue pen we use for glue basting our paper pieces. If you use Elmers glue, and I don’t recommend using that, but I have used it in a bind, when you put an iron to it it will set it’s a little stronger until you wash it out. I hope that helps. Also there are appliqué glues that you can purchase specifically for appliquéing. I don’t think I had any on hand at the time. Hope that helps☺️
Hi! Could you make a video how to sew a block on a piece of fabric? Do you make it also make it by handstitching ?
Is there a kit?
