Well I think I would try a hexi now after watching you. I learned alot today. My mom made Grandmothers Flower Garden quilts when I was young and I'm drawn to Hexis. I've been so intimidated I wouldn't try to make one before. God Bless You and I'm very happy you all are safe. Happy weekend!!
How fun to see how YOU make your hexies. There’s a little voice in me saying “try the starch basting...try the starch basting”. But I enjoy the portability of my hexies with needle, thread, scissors and clips. I baste mine on days I sit for my granddaughter...she’s 13 months and still takes a nice long nap. I have a lot of them done and started stitching them together on 9/11.🇺🇸 I will email a photo or 2 of it so far. Today I will go to our local quilt shop, Barn Door Quilts, and look for silk thread to try. You always inspire me! Thanks for the visit. So glad you both are safe and happy!
Thank you for making this video! Love the Brass Octopus! Not your average quilt shop! I’ve bought from them numerous times! Very high quality fabric and the customer service is phenomenal! Stay safe!
I am working in a hexi quilt. Tone on tone, plaid and floral in pastel colors. I had started to connect with white hexi blocks. Decided it would never get done so now I am going to do them on a 4 patch white on white block. I am so happy I found you. I enjoy watching your chats and love your sense of humor.
I just finished a hexi quilt. I sew mine like you do but I also sewed all the hexis together in the Grandmothers Flower garden pattern. Lots of work but fun. Here in Ontario CAnada we’ve had a weird looking sky the last couple of days and our weather guy says it’s smoke way up high in the atmosphere from Oregon and California. Who would have thought clear across the continent we’d see the smoke. Praying for lots of rain for you guys. Stay safe.
Tried looking on the internet to see if your area had been evacuated. That smoke really worried me but so glad you could post to reassure us you and yours are okay. Hang onto your stitching and see it through. Hoping and praying for you.
So relieved to hear that you, G, family and friends are safe. I know the smoke was bad! I was devastated when I saw that Detroit and the surrounding towns had burned. Then to hear about Talent and Ashland. Hope you are now getting the much needed rain, a gentle rain, not the landslide causing rains! I got hooked on hexies a few years ago and have lots of flowers and even took a class to piece fabric together to form designs for my hexies! Lots of fun. Hope you'll be able to come to Tucson this winter!
I’m glad you and your family are safe. The smoke will clear ours has cleared finally today it’s been smoky for apx. Two weeks. Today was a good 59 on the health chart I’m hoping you’ll be there soon also. Thank you for the hexi’s video.
Made my first hexie quilt during the quarantine, using glue basting and the flat back stitch. I love that there are so many ways to do the same thing and we get to choose which works best for us. BTW, Alewives fabric in Maine has wonderful fabric for fussy cutting! Stay safe Anna and G!
Hi Anna really fascinated by your method of doing English paper piecing I haven’t seen it your way before I sometimes use glue but mostly stitch I currently have 4 block of the month quilts on the go 2 with sew and quilt designs by Jessie fin ham a Lucy Boston and a spinning stars and then 2 by Alice caroline both stars one more like a la pasalagia pattern useing predominantly liberty fabrics I have made many different ones and shall definitely try your method hope you and g are both staying well and safe we are thinking of you and yours and send out prayers Angela in ireland 🇮🇪 🙃
I’m glad to see that you’re safe & staying out of the bad air. 😷 As usual, that was a great video! Thanks for sharing your stitchy ways. It’s always nice to observe how someone stitches. Your hexes are cute. I’m getting an urge to get out my old pile of hexies & start stitching on them again. Have a joyous week my friend! 😍
Just some thoughts to share. I use to use a long thread when I did my binding on quilts and I no longer do. I live in Ohio and my children live out west. It broke my heart when the binding let loose on several quilts that were being used daily by my grandsons and wash frequently. (For my personal quilts) I now use short lengths of thread with the hopes that if one thread lets loose it will only be in a short section.On the quilts used and wash often I now only machine stitch the bindings. I love your videos and spending time with you. Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you for a great lesson on Hexies. They have always been intimidating to me. Your suggestions for suppliers for products are really helpful too. The Brass Octopus is a wonderful shop with quality, fun unique fabric. Theresa and Chuck truly care about their customers and community.
Thanks Anna for recommending Arianna Zurcher's website I must have a go using up some magazine freebie Hexie papers in one of my next projects. Had a lovely day stitching with five ladies. The longest time we'd been out since Lockdown! So pleased your air quality is improving - you'll be longing to empty your mailbox☺ and return to Portland.
Stay safe !! And thank you for all the cheer you bring to all of us Quilters . My Trenton Quilt Guild meant this month in a park and it was so wonderful to see all the gal's and all the Beautiful Quilts. We so need each other now .
🥰💕Love your hexi’s! 💃🏻🍁 I still working on my Black & White hexi’s. I use plastic with a pinched out hole in the middle. Using recycled butter tops. The plastic stays strong forever. I don’t pop them out til all my hexi’s are put together. I love calling it my Grandmothers Flower Garden Quilt. I can transport it everywhere & work on it anywhere. I’m also making an eye spy hexi quilt great fun children’s quilt. Love watching your videos while I quilt, knit 🧶 & crochet.
You got me hooked, even thought I have not quilted my first hexie quilt top I made over ten years ago. I wanted to hand quilt it since I had done all the hand work on it and it is still awaiting that process. Oh my. I started a new one with the challenge of only using stash fabric. I am having fun and who ever inherits my fabrics someday, willl never understand. Oh well. Love your videos, stay safe. Ohio is beautiful right now, hope your state clears up soon .
Thanks for the video.....I'm so glad you and your family are safe.....this Hexie stitch-a-long has been so much fun...I found material I didn't even know I had...😍😍...surprise....like Christmas...
An easy way to make sure your work is centred on the background is to press a fold in the centre of each side. Some put a little clip into the seam allowance but I prefer the fold.
I love sewing hexies, I am onto my third quilt. I do not cut out my material in a hexagon shape, I keep it as a square and fold down the edges over the paper and clip them. I then sew the folded edges together. Then sew each hexagon together. After sewing a few rows together I then flip the papers out making sure papers are left on the row I still need to sew. Instead of all those little pieces of material ending up in the bin I include them in the quilt.
Great video. I just might try making some hexies! I thought about you yesterday and today when I was out for a walk. The blue sky here in Massachusetts was covered with a milky haze which the weather reporter said was the smoke from the fires. It made me think about how massive the fires must be for the smoke to make it clear across the country. I am praying for all those affected affected by these fires. Please stay safe!
Just discovered you , all I can say is Thankyou from across the pond, during such 'difficult times you have really brightened my day , ( I plan to go back and watch all your videos)
Hello and thanks for sharing how you do hexies. You have peaked my interest in yet another endeavor, lol. 😉 glad you and your family are safe. Appreciate you so much. Stay safe and well. God bless.
Dang it! I have been resisting jumping on the Hexi wagon but you have worn me down and I want in😀. I have so many scraps from making masks and thinking they might make an awesome quilt😉.
I love doing the hexies .I prefer the sewing method I tried glue but sewing is best to me. Really enjoyed seeing you do the demo.never saw any one knot the thread after every stitch
Thank you so much for sharing your method. I’m just now trying small stitching projects because you show how fun they can be. Hexies may be next on the list🌝. Glad y’all are safe. Patty G.
I’m so glad to hear that you, G, and your family are all safe...when I first heard about the fires and the poor air quality I immediately thought of you. You’re like extended family to me...💕 And thank you for another great video! You’ve given me some good tips that I never would have thought of on my own...you’re amazing! 👍🏻👵🏻💕
Wow I can tell you have a lot of patience. I love the hexies but I’m not sure I could stay with the project and complete it. I live south of Chicago and we have hazy skies because of the fires out west. Prayers for you and G for safety and health. Take care Anna.
Glad to hear you are in the safe zone now, and you family is safe. Hope the air clears soon. Like your hexi "tutorial" always wanted to try them even bought pre-bought hexi's to make it easier, but just keep putting them back in the cupboard. Oh well there is always tomorrow. :) :) :)
Thank you for this tutorial; I am going to broaden my horizon and jump in. It will be a new and fun project to try. Stay safe and well; have a great week.
Thanks for the video, I came across Misses work last winter so being me I just had to order the book and thimble, plus the hexie mat. I had better get on it !!! I live in the Shuswap area of B.C. and we have a lot of smoke from the USA fires. So sad for all the people losing homes.
Hi Anna - Great instructions! Thank you G for the great shots. I learned something a while back about thread and threading a needle and thought I would share it with you. Not sure if you have a problem with thread wanting to tangle up or not. While all threads are different, this trick works with all thread from a spool. I learned there is a right end of the thread to put through the eye of the sewing needle. As you unwind thread from the spool, the end that hasn’t been cut yet is the end that goes through the needle. So, I’ve started threading my needle before I cut the thread and it doesn’t tangle up near as much if any now. Who knew that thread had a right & wrong end to go through the needle!!! Thought you would like this tip as I know you use lots of thread. Glad y’all are safe. Hope your air quality improves soon. Hugs! 🤗 PS - I bought some hexi papers last year and haven’t tried using them yet. Hopefully soon, I’ll find the time to make some cute hexi’s.
So cute! Your fabric choices are adorable!! Love the look but I simply cannot take on another handwork thing right now LOL. I'm living vicariously through your hexies LOL.
Love making hexies! Glad you are doing well. We are doing good in the hurricane. Just some rain and light winds. Suppose to be here in Charleston, SC on Friday.
Hi there and thank you for sharing I have learn a lot from you on making hexies you do a great job..Now I must go shopping for fabric and see if I can make hexies..Stay safe I'm praying for you all out west..
Nice video. I’ve tried every method of folding the edges in over the years. Currently I’m using glue most of the time. I have a few EPP projects going! I saw someone using plain scotch tape, which seems hard to believe, but I may try it! I do use paper medical tape to do the “flat back stitch” when sewing bigger prepped sections together, and it works well. I may try that. Stay safe! Edit - med tape = disaster!!🤦🏻♀️
What a lovely companion video as I sit here sewing away! Just so relaxing. I usu ally baste my hexies as that is how I prefer to do it. I have tried using the glue method and hated it. Your method using your starch pen seems to work well. I enjoyed watching how you did this. Stay safe and I hope the smoke is dispersing where you are. Greetings from the UK.
Anna, thank you for your detailed tutorial on your method for doing Hexies. I can’t wait to start on my little Hexie project too! I’ve been busy ducking Hurricane Sally, but thankfully I am far enough north in Alabama that we are okay. I have friends & relatives on the coast who have terrible flooding. It’s a shame that some of that rain couldn’t have been aimed on the Western fires! My prayers continue for you and your family to remain safe from the fires. 🙏🏻 What brand of silk thread is it that you use? I have never used silk thread, but now I have to try it! Thank you again! ♥️
love ed this ...I just ordered the hexies and that starch pen ...I only need to check out those themes... can t wait to get started ...stay safe and thanks G for helping with this video too 🐑🐑🐑💕
That was fun! Your hexies are so cute. I was ready for you to use your sewing machine to sew the hexi onto your background. I've never made hexis but they look like fun. Glad you and your family are safe. See you next time.
I've tried hexies, but I'm not to much of a fan. Your hexies though make me want to try again. You do such beautiful work. I also love hand projects. Stay safe. See you in the next video.
Thank you for the close-up! I know it will take time to get started, ordered my hexie template, just have to find the paper patterns- Look forward to getting started
Cute hexi! This is a newish method to me. I've really come to enjoy the old school method of sewing the papers on. I hate the task until I get started. Isn't that true of so many tasks. 🤗
Anna, love this tutorial and the patience of D to film it close! Curious why the iron does not melt the silk thread? Is that the best thread to use? Like the knot at the eye idea also! Hugs, stay safe. Linda
So how do you cut hexies out? WIth scissors or a rotary cutter or a fabric cutter? Do you fold the fabric. For some reason the idea of cutting them out seems daunting and it is what is stalling me out trying hexies. I know you thought it would be boring to watch, but I have not seen anyone do it.
Never made a quilt but this EEP looks great. I like hand sewing but my stupid question is what do I sew the hexies to? Material? Batting? I know you have to make a material sandwich but I wish someone would show that.
O.K. You show us your Thula Pink plastic hexagon template. I saw Thula Pink plastic templates in a bag, each one with a letter print on them. Are they "regular" diamond, hexagone and the others just done for Thula EPP or if I can use all of them to do regular EPP (not Thula) ?? I have problem to find acrylic template of all the shapes that existing! Can you help me (after giving me the idea of hexies!! In the motor home!) EPP is an addictive passion .... without drugs!!! Lol!
I look forward to your videos! Have you seen the Bumblebee Blossoms quilt by Krista Moser? I just watched her RUclips video and thought of you. I bet you’d like it.
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️ BOSTO: BE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS Sharing your channel is BOSTO 😁👍👏❣️ SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE 🤗💞💖🤗 AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗💞 Stay safe & strong & Healthy Heard Detroit got rain yesterday & last night...
I have a grandmothers flower garden quilt I have been working on for over 20 years. I wish I had seen this video when I started.
Well I think I would try a hexi now after watching you. I learned alot today. My mom made Grandmothers Flower Garden quilts when I was young and I'm drawn to Hexis. I've been so intimidated I wouldn't try to make one before.

What a surprise to find the brassoctopus next door to me and I didn't know it. I live in Rockford Illinois. Thank you Anna.

Thanks so much. Love your teaching tutorials. So clear and helpful. Stay safe. Thanks Anna and G
I loved your hexie video. You and G are in my thoughts. Stay safe.
Thanks Anna, I especially wanted to see how the papers come out😀. Your work is always so nice.
This was brilliant Anna! Very very helpful to me with at least 5 tips I did not know. I will need to get that book.
Hi Anna - Great instructions! Thank you G for the great shots.
I learned something a while back about thread and threading a needle and thought I would share it with you. Not sure if you have a problem with thread wanting to tangle up or not. While all threads are different, this trick works with all thread from a spool.

So, I’ve started threading my needle before I cut the thread and it doesn’t tangle up near as much if any now. Who knew that thread had a right & wrong end to go through the needle!!!
Thought you would like this tip as I know you use lots of thread.
Glad y’all are safe. Hope your air quality improves soon. Hugs! 🤗
PS - I bought some hexi papers last year and haven’t tried using them yet. Hopefully soon, I’ll find the time to make some cute hexi’s.
So cute! Your fabric choices are adorable!! Love the look but I simply cannot take on another handwork thing right now LOL. I'm living vicariously through your hexies LOL.
Love making hexies! Glad you are doing well. We are doing good in the hurricane. Just some rain and light winds. Suppose to be here in Charleston, SC on Friday.
You have inspired me today to work on my Hexies, thank you Anna❤️
Thanks for this video. I was having a hard time seeing what you were doing in the last video. Love you’re technique.
Thanks for your tutorial. I enjoyed it very much. I usually do the glue method but this method I am going to have to try. Thank you again.
Looking great al those hexis. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there and thank you for sharing I have learn a lot from you on making hexies you do a great job..Now I must go shopping for fabric and see if I can make hexies..Stay safe I'm praying for you all out west..
Thanks for making this video! I had to see it to figure it out how you connect all the hexies. Stay safe and keep on making videos!

Thank you for the hexie video. I am not sure I will try it soon but some day I may give it a try and will be able to reference this video for help.
He use are FUN! I love hand sewing!!
Suppose to say hexies are FUN!
Thank you Anna, I want to jump into hexi making, they are way too cute. My project will be a six pointed star then mount on a string pieced square.
Anna, thank you for your detailed tutorial on your method for doing Hexies. I can’t wait to start on my little Hexie project too! I’ve been busy ducking Hurricane Sally, but thankfully I am far enough north in Alabama that we are okay. I have friends & relatives on the coast who have terrible flooding.

Thank you again! ♥️
Loved this visual tutorial now I completely understand how they go together! Thanks for the links I will check them out ❤️Take care 🐝well

Thank you for the close-up! I know it will take time to get started, ordered my hexie template, just have to find the paper patterns-
Look forward to getting started
Lol i am so hooked on hexies..and I'm the one who kept saying I don't like hexis to fiddly...well the fish is on..lol yup all the way. Thanks 😊
Thoughts and prayers for everyone. Thank you for being my pandemic partner.
I looked for a hexi ironing mat, could not find one, so I made my own from the silver ironing board fabric. I want to take them in my camper as well.
Well, here I go again.....something different! 🤗thanks!
Cute hexi! This is a newish method to me. I've really come to enjoy the old school method of sewing the papers on. I hate the task until I get started. Isn't that true of so many tasks. 🤗
Anna, love this tutorial and the patience of D to film it close! Curious why the iron does not melt the silk thread? Is that the best thread to use? Like the knot at the eye idea also! Hugs, stay safe. Linda
So how do you cut hexies out? WIth scissors or a rotary cutter or a fabric cutter? Do you fold the fabric. For some reason the idea of cutting them out seems daunting and it is what is stalling me out trying hexies. I know you thought it would be boring to watch, but I have not seen anyone do it.
I am curious if you have tried a glue pen for basting the fabric onto the papers. If you have, I’d love to know why you prefer this way. Thanks!
Such a darn cute hexie 😘💐
Never made a quilt but this EEP looks great. I like hand sewing but my stupid question is what do I sew the hexies to? Material? Batting? I know you have to make a material sandwich but I wish someone would show that.
I found silicone top fingers to don’t burn my fingers when ironing! If it can help people! But, what do you use to thread your needle as small as 12??
I learned a lot - thanks
O.K. You show us your Thula Pink plastic hexagon template. I saw Thula Pink plastic templates in a bag, each one with a letter print on them. Are they "regular" diamond, hexagone and the others just done for Thula EPP or if I can use all of them to do regular EPP (not Thula) ?? I have problem to find acrylic template of all the shapes that existing! Can you help me (after giving me the idea of hexies!! In the motor home!) EPP is an addictive passion .... without drugs!!! Lol!
I look forward to your videos! Have you seen the Bumblebee Blossoms quilt by Krista Moser? I just watched her RUclips video and thought of you. I bet you’d like it.
Did you make the pincushion, the yellow and grey?
Great tutorial!!! Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️

Heard Detroit got rain yesterday & last night...
Anna for a beginner would it be better to use larger papers? I've been tempted to give them a try.
Have you ever tried the accuquilt go cutter?
In love this!
This is a question about wool appliqué. Can you stitch the wool on a fabric other than wool?
Anna....I saw a honeycomb and bees wool appliqué on one of your videos and now I can’t find it....is that pattern still available...??
How do you cut the fabric to the right size?
