    I purchased a kit and calendar last autumn. I am hooked on hexagons! My local fabric store carries Kaffe Fasset fabric and I have gone in and purchased a lot more. I sewed them together in flowers thinking of the hexagon flower quilt your mom made Kate. My 2-year old granddaughter calls them waffles. We have not idea why but taking a page from your book, I'm making her a quilt for her big girl bed. Thanks Kate, I love watching your videos. I feel quite an affinity to you. We share the same birthday month and year. I feel finding your channel was a gift to me! Thanks again.

    Hey Kate, I "chickened out" and used the thirty blocks for the hexagon pillow to put together a small quilt. I combined the squares with an orange "chalked" fabric. I did try to put similar designs, i.e. polka dot, at a diagonal....so there would be some semblance of order. I loved seeing you with Arne and Carlos!! What a treat!! Gosh, I couldn't remember your grand darling's name. Hope I will be a member of your group. Sending love from Pennsylvania, U.S.A.🧵🪡🧶

    I have finished the beautiful blue cushion, I love it. The fabric is so great and bright. I just stared another blue one and I have fabric for two more cushions in the green. I can’t think you enough for the instructions and your videos and the booklet helped me do a very good job of the cushion. I am so happy . I have waited for over 10 years too afraid to do them. Thanks to you I am doing hexagon for anything I can , I love making them and using in a number of projects. Now I have the love of making hexagon. It is amazing and so fun. And very realizing to me. Again Thanks for teaching me and I am at ease with them. Much love and be happy.

I'm so happy to see you partnered with Free Spirit! Their headquarters are about 3 miles from my house here in Charlotte, NC! Thank you to Rita for including the QR codes, that's going to be an amazing help to get to the tutorials. I can't wait to start this!

I may even begin cutting into my Kaffe Fasset fabric after years of hoarding/finding them. I broke through my barrier with my Liberty prints, using the scraps for hexagonal next. Enjoy your yard as spring breaks.

I started my sister on hexagons which she made a cushion for her rocking chair and got more ambition and made a chair back. Now she is making table runners and maybe she will make a quilt later. I had her find you one her computer and fallow you as she continues on with her projects.

    I purchased the red/pink kit as I have very little in that colorway. Then I watched this video. Since the fabrics for all the colorways each have a touch of each others colors, I think this cushion will look great with the other blue and green colors I use on my couch. Even though I have started a 1" hexi project, I wanted to get this kit to support Kate and her group who bring us these great videos. I can refill the kit and pass it to one of my little ones

I have never made any EPP items and was so excited to get started however on this past Sunday I broke my wrist so now it's going to be some time before I can begin the wonderful project. It's probably going to be physically therapeutic for me once I can start to make these EPP chair cushions. 🙂 Thanks for putting these lovely kits together. ❤

    Feeling just a bit silly right now realizing that I didn't need a Sizzix cutter or hexagon templates to cut my bits of fabric! For those of you with 1" paper hexagon cutouts, and want to use your own fabric or bits from your fabric stash, I just cut 2 3/4" strips, then cut the strips to make 2 3/4" squares...and MAGIC! I have the perfect sized fabric pieces I need to start sewing my hexagons!
