- When I made this video, it was just before the most amazing heat wave hit the UK! I was bundled up against the cold and now I can't find a spot to get cool!
English Paper Piecing then. All the basics that I find useful when I am working on my projects. I will complete this series when I have the samples ready and show you how I finish pieces.
This is just my way, I love that everyone arrives at their own method of working, this is just meant as a helpful guide.
The Dish and the Spoon Project is nearing completion. Next week we will visit the last of the talented women who has helped bring this project to fruition. Set a reminder for 31st July at 7pm BST if you want to be sure of your Box!

It's funny how we learn things... My older sis is nearly 80, she is a trained tailor and when I was little she was at college learning her trade... she made me the most amazing clothes. I used to watch her and got all the scraps to make dolls clothes... I was telling her of all the dresses I remember her making and how much I learned from her only last week... she was obviously moved at how much I remembered and appreciated her work... Her hand smocking was exquisite.
My sisters and I sew, it is so lovely and such a blessing to spend time like that. It"s just a wonderful memory. We all watch videos and share them with each other we have. I am the oldest so I used to watch my mom make my clothes (and for my brothers and sisters too, there were 8 of us) .Sewing was fun and came easy so I made lots of my own clothes and my kids clothes. Now I'm retired and my quilting is my joy. One of my younger sisters did beautiful smocking for her little girls clothes too. I hope younger generation can keep this going.
How lovely that you could share that with your sister.
what a wonderful idea using the children's books for your EPP papers! making it a bit more fun! I use heart punch in the center of mine since someone said a hole punch gives you something to grab when removing the papers using a crochet hook.
@KATE- I LOVE the idea of v Usain g children's story book pages for the paper-shaped EPP pattern pieces!! @Sandy Gardner, a hole punch in the center of the shapes is an amazing idea!! THANKS so very much, ladies!! ♡♡♡
Thank you for sharing your story about your sister teaching you to love sewing. Great way to build kind memories.
Watching your videos makes me feel like I’m with my beloved grandmother. I miss her. Thanks Kate for making a blessedly safe and lovely place for us to escape the world for a while. ❤
Is it okay if I tell you that I absolutely ADORE you?? Listening to and watching you is so calming and enjoyable. I will probably never paper-piece, but I simply love watching you tell us how you do it.
I agree. So calming! I love her teaching style
Me too!
Me too Jullaine! If i need calm i look for Kate. I watch her videos over and over again.
The joy of quiet time at the same time getting something done.
I loved this very detailed video! In school we had a sewing class every week and I loved it, it was basically sewing not any of the quilting or knitting I love your channel. I will watch this again, I wish you were my neighbor! You’re absolutely a lovely lady and your family is so very lucky! Thank you for your time and detailed instructions… 💖
The way your mom taught you to make a knot in your thread is how my grandma taught me. I couldn’t help but smile.
Found some hexie papers and fabric in my late moms stash and this is how I discovered your channel a few months ago. I love everything you do and is now so fired up about EPP as well as quilting in general. For the first time I can relate to someone else also having multiple projects going at the same time. None of my craft friends understand this. Thank you for sharing your life and passions with us.
For one thing, sometimes switching from one project or craft to another uses different movements and can prevent repetitive strain injuries. Sometimes we need a brain break while we think on how one WIP is going.
I hesitate to tell you how many projects I have on the go! They suffice to keep me out of trouble, anyway, heh.
@@heidim7732 I'm the same. I've got a couple of knitting things in progress, an embroidery piece, a visible mending job and of course the gardening. So what am I thinking about? Getting some fabric for some summer tops and sleep shorts! LOL. You're right. When you hit a wall, it's good to turn around and look at something else for a bit. Happy Crafting you you and @Ronel van der Linden! It's lovely to meet others who look at the world the way we do - at least in this regard! :D
What a wonderful video. I am thinking of Agnes years from now with her treasured quilt being able to watch a video of her Grandmother showing how to make it and how lucky she is.
Dear Kate! I am 45years old and never got taught any sewingskills by my mum or grandmum it is so fantastic watching your video and thinking that maybe I can do this too. I don't know if I have the patience for a really big piece like your quilt but I sure will try something smaller. Thanks for this tutorial and the inspiration you are giving me with it. Greetings from Austria, Dana
Go for it Dana. Whatever you make will be beautiful.
@@mandie3049 Thanks for cheering me on, Mandi e 😄
I began learning to knit at 60 from videos like Kate's! My Kate inspired 'hexi' quilt is about ready to be stitched up! You're never too old!!!!
You might want to try to make the paper pieced Scotty dog. The pieces are larger. She has a series of videos about how she makes this cute little puppy. She showed some of it in this video. Happy stitching!
@@judithburke1539 thanks for the idea, Judith 👍
Thank you so much for demonstrating this technique. I have been searching for someone who knew how to do it for many years.
I remember sitting in my Gran's house during WW11 and being given a hexagon of card and some fabric to sew onto it. That was all I could remember. Now I'm 81 and had almost given up finding what this technique is called and how to deal with it. I knew it was to make warn blankets with anything we had in the house but that's where the memory left me.
I learned to make many new items out of old. Hook rugs, braided rugs, newspaper torn up and put on string for the shared toilet down the yard (my special job). All useful stuff as the war went on
Now at last I have you to teach me EPP. How wonderful!
Watching you was the reason I got back in EPP. I also bought a Sizzix Big Shot (secondhand off EBay) and the dies as cutting the papers was the thing I hated doing and stopped me from finishing my quilt before. Great tutorial to show the basics and how to start, which is sometimes what people find difficult. My one tip would be when you are threading your needle, thread from the end that comes off the spool, knot the end you cut from the spool. I had no idea there was a direction on a reel of thread, but it makes such a difference with the thread knotting up on itself as you sew. Keep inspiring us.
Me too !!!
I knew there was a thread direction. Thanks for telling me and others. Makes a BIG huge difference
Oh thank you so much, I had no idea!
Me too the die cutter is a game changer for me.
It keeps your thread much more agreeable as you stitch. Learned this the hard way 😄
Thank you Kate you did actually inspire me to make a EPP quilt I am in the final stages of making a hexagon quilt for my granddaughter, to be honest it was for myself but she loves it so much I will give it to her ! Of course that’s a given , I love my grandchildren, it’s got a name already, thank you Kate you are an amazing tutor, love your channel and your content.
So generous of you to share your tips and tricks, of your hexagon paper piecing. Takes the mystery out of it all.
This video is lovely and a great reminder that we do not always need to be in a hurry.
People don't realize how much engineering there is in functional handmade items. This is awesome! I found a set of cutting pads still in the packages at the thrift store this week and I am thinking of getting the machine.
For making the paper pieces i can recommend last years calendars. I love to buy art calendars, big and small. And i actually hung on to them long after the year turned new, because i thought it was such a shame to throw away all those beautiful pictures. But now i have very good use for them and get the pleasure of seeing details in a new way as well. And the pleasure of knowing that reuse before recycle is even better than just recycle too. 😊
I'm working on my first piece ever, because a few months ago Agnes's quilt showed up randomly in my suggested videos and was just so beautiful... I now spend most of my free time making scrappy little hexies and binging your videos 😊
Hello Kate! 🥰 I first discovered your lovely channel about 6 months ago. I searched CZcams for English paper piecing and fell in love instantly with everything you had to say about this. I now subscribe and am a Patrons member, too. I hit the notifications button also. Every day I watch and listen to you while I sit and sew or knit. You are my new best friend!! Thank you for sharing your world with all of us on the lime green sofa !! 💜💜💜
Kate: you enjoy so much of life...and you're teaching us to do the same...God bless you
Kate, thank you for taking the time to dedicate this week to a complete and comprehensive lesson on EPP. I had learned in bits and pieces from a “ vintage” video of yours as you were making a pentagon ball for your baby Agness. During that tutorial I had to go back a few times to understand because you were making something specific and the focus was more on the ball . But this week , you are dedicating the process to a more detailed explanation just having to do with EPP . Thank you . I like the use of the little machine. I will need to cut by hand carefully but, at least, thanks to your contagious enthusiasm I will give it a try. Never having made a quilt , and desperately wishing to, perhaps I can start with a small paper pieced cushion. All thanks to your inspiration.
Love,
Marilyn USA
I ALMOST want to make a hexagon quilt!! Your instructions were SO good today, Kate!! Thank you!!
Kate, you are such a great teacher. Thank you! 💚
Hello Kate, I just recently found your lovely cozy videos. They bring back wonderful memories for me of my Grandma. Your one on paper piecing was done so well I could easily understand it. Thank you for taking the time to go into so much detail. I don't have the machine for cutting so I wonder if there is another way to get the accuracy.
One memory of my grandmother is how she knotted her thread which is the same way you do it. I also had an Amish neighbor, who taught me how to quilt, she knotted it the same way.
Thank you again for inspiring me to get back into sewing again and get lots of color in my surroundings to brighten up gray Winter days
Dear Kate, congratulations to 70.000 subscribers right when I watched the video 🎉🎁🎉 They are well deserved for your wonderful channel. Thanks a lot for this Video. I saved it just in case I need to come Back to it later 😉 I started with EPP a while back and I really like it so I am looking forward to and plan some projects there. I use a Fiskars Hand Punch and 1/2 Inch hexies. As Paper I mainly use "spam" mail that we receive, paper scraps or old calendars. Fabric is fabric scraps in all colors currently. Just want to give everything a good use. xoxo from Germany Stephanie
Always looking forward to Sunday evening with The Last Homely House!
I was searching for a hexagon “Quilt as you go” quilt pattern and stumbled across your channel. You took me all the way back to the 70’s and my first quilt, I started in Secondary Modern school. My best friend introduced me, to EPP hers was 1” templates mine was a bit bigger, and we used cardboard. I like your idea better with the children’s books paper. I did eventually finish my quilt after moving to America, but it took 20 years.😂
I started a project like this years ago and you've inspired me to dig it out of the attic and give it a try to finish!! Thank you!
Just rewatched this after the Arne & Carlos episode in which they used your gift of paper hexagons with their collected vintage embroidered linens. Fun! Thank you.
I was a glue baster. To make pulling paper from sewn fabric, I hole-punch the center of the paper. When it comes time to remove the papers, I put a crochet hook ( G or H) into the hole and easily pop out the paper. "Easy Peasy!"
Thank you so much Kate for this inspiring and informative video. I just love your videos. I really enjoy sitting in your green sofa, having a cup of coffee and crocheting while I listen to you.
I am making a epp jacket whilst watching you on CZcams. You make me happy.
Thank you for this video. You make EEP look so relaxed and meditative. And may I compliment you on your hands. They look like they could tell so many interesting stories of gardening, crafting, cooking and petting cats. They are hands that are very clever, able and beautiful.
Oh thank you so much! they are busy hands! xxx
I remember learning to do this in primary school some 45 years ago. Same technique, including using charm squares. Except we used old yard sticks to grid out the hexagon papers, then the teacher used a pinwheel to perforate and tear it!
Thank you. I appreciate your time and generous heart. You filmed the up-close bits just right for me to see how to baste and sew the corners and edges.
Thank you Kate for this video on Hexagons. The quilting group which I attend some one donated some Hexagons that she made but did not want to make anything with them. We decided as a group to make a Hexagon quilt for our Macmillan coffee morning in September (plus many more things). I completely agree with you Hexagons are therapeutic and a good why to relax but what a beautiful result you achieve at the end. I am looking forward to the rest of your videos with anticipation. Thank you for the idea of how to make a design board large and small. Blessings Jackie
I think I didn't quite grasp it before from your earlier videos. So don't apologise, this was very helpful. Thank you
Kate, thank you so much for this great tutorial. The filming was so clear and perfect, I was able to see every stitch you took. I've watched a ton of EPP videos and yours is absolutely the best. I appreciate you so much!
Thank you Kate for putting together all this wonderful information in one place! You have the patience of a saint! I know you have done this all before, but it is great as a review! 🥰
I loved watching this, I have been making a hexi quilt for a few years, adding bits every now and again. I hope to finish it this year and have been thinking of ideas for quilting it. An elderly lady I knew had a beautiful one on her bed, all 1930's and 1940's fabrics. She had backed hers with a cotton sheet and tie quilted it. It was so beautiful it was the reason I started mine. I love the colours of Agnes's quilt, she is a lucky little girl!
Thank you for doing this video. I didn't understand anything about paper piecing. You have explained it very well.
I've been sewing all my life. My mother sewed a lot off our clothing when my sister and I were little. My sister got me interested in quilting and making hand bags. I just recently watched a video on paper piecing as I was curious about what it was and the technique. Your video had more detail and I'm about to start a small project. Thank You!
Thanks so much.........wonderful video. So calming and restful watching you stitch. I love visiting with you in your home and garden across the Pond from New England [New Hampshire/Vermont, USA]. So much love seeing the kitties. They add that homey touch. Blessings to you.
I am just starting a hexagon quilt and found this video to help refresh my memory of the basics. Thank you for teaching me your method of thread basting! I have only done glue baste, thinking that thread baste would be too difficult. I just thread basted along with your video, so simple! The thought of glue basting an entire hexagon quilt may seem like the easy way out, but it is much more costly and I have a lifetime supply of thread already!
Dear Kate! We have some things in common...we are the same age, I worked Labor and Delivery for 40 years as an R.N. and am retired for one year. My Mom just passed a month ago and I have much time on my hands. I have dabbled in quilting and in EPP over the last 5 years but have never completed the two quilt tops I have made into actual quilts, or bound them. The EPP that I initiated is still in pieces! But, your love for all things fabric-craft inspires me to continue on to completion! Thank you for sharing your love and your life with us all! ❤️ (Posted from Michigan)
waving to you in Michigan Diane! xxx
I read your message to Kate , wondering if you have completed your quilt ( hexagons )
I confess that I buy my EPP papers. The English Paper Piecing store in the States is in my town. I love making balls using pentagons. You are inspiring me to finish some of mine.
Awesome learning, Thankful for helping Me Remembering 😊 Enjoying from childhood memories creating, What fun Thank U ❤😊
In the middle of a heatwave. 30 degrees today in Norfolk, heading for 40 by Tuesday. I’ve been to see the Samphire Quilter’s exhibition today. It’s part of the King’s Lynn Festival at St Nicholas Chapel. Some magnificent quilts in there.
This was Great. I’ve been try to figure out if I should glue or baste. And if i baste do I go through the paper or not. You’ve answered all my questions.
My Best friend, Emma, in Illinois-USA steered me on to you and I’m so glad she did. I live in Florida-USA. Thank you. I’ll be looking for the next CZcams on how to finish the Hexagons.
That was just so interesting Kate, you’re a great teacher, many thanks, have a good week x
Hello! I hope you had a delightful day. I'm having trouble keeping up with all the CZcams Videos that I like to watch with my grandkids popping in and out of this home but they are so much fun to be around. I hope you have a joyful week ahead. Thank you for sharing your time, talent and video!
I love to watch your video's. We were stationed in Australia for 3 years with the Australian Navy. (we were Yanks and newly married) Learned the alternate words for all things Aussi/English - cotton for thread, wadding for batting etc. Son even named Matthew Flinders!. Now that we are retired and have the computer I am watching you on you-tube. I like the EPP as well, it is so concise. Thank you for this wonderful instruction. (We also visited London when our daughter was stationed there.)
Pat -in the Pacific Northwest
Excellent tutorial, Kate. I appreciate that you have taken us from template suggestions (and why) to knotting off our thread (which I love the way you do that). A few years ago, I started a grandma's flower garden. I loved the process, but I didn't care much for the design. Then I watched you creating Agnes's quilt and realized that I liked your way of sewing them together in rows better and your way of marking their order was brilliance. There is a lot to like about EPP. So relaxing. Really inspiring to pick them up again. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you again, Kate. Enjoyable week to you.
Oh my gosh, I am just beginning my EPP journey and I am so glad I came across your video. This is super helpful, I want my edges to look as beautiful as yours. 🤞🤞
You always find something to do on a rainy day but would live to see your Garden rain or shine. Keep well. S
I thought maybe you were going to make a mini-quilt for Agnes so that her dollies could have a matching quilt. Hilarious when Rita appeared! That John! Sounds like something that a mischievous son would do! 😂
Just lovely Kate! What a talented artist and marvelous teacher you are!Thank you for sharing your talents with those of us wanting to learn!
Thanks, I have hexies from my grandmother she never finished. Now I know how!
I really enjoy EPP hexies , I find the process soothing. There is a third method of basting that I have tried but, I don't really like it. It does work well and the papers come out easily but it's a pain in the rump. So I don't use it anymore. You use liquid starch, a small paint brush, something a child might use and throw away. So you paint the starch on the fabric that you turn over the paper. Then you take a pokey thing.. I used a wooden cuticle stick to fold the fabric over the paper and press it with a tiny iron. I tried it and didn't like it at all. It's messy and easily burn my fingers. I sometimes glue baste and it's fine but I prefer thread basting. I do the other thread basting from what Kate does tho, I take a stitch in each corner, my thread is all on the back side, so I don't have to remove the thread. Everyone needs to find and use what works best for them. I am basically self taught so I probably saw that method somewhere and gave it a try and it stuck with me. Anyway I thought I would share the third method even if I don't really recommend it. Someone else might. Happy stitching everyone.!
Just starting out love the way you explain everything you seem like a very down to earth lovely lady your work is second to none
What a wonderful video!!! I'm new to EPP but really enjoy hand sewing . I have watched a few other videos already that, I'm sorry to say , really weren't worthwile... The girls just didn't know how to properly sew.! ...And the end result showed all these flaws you're talking about : ladder effet of the loose stitches and ...holes...So I kept searching YT and .... I found you ! I 've been collecting fabrics for years and now have quite a respectable stash .... Some of them I dearly loved and have been drooling over for a long time, always fearing to cut and waste them ... But with your precious advices , i think I 'm now ready for something, BIG ! My fingers are itching !! Thank you so much ♥✂
This is my very first exposure to this technique and I ended up watching the whole video. Thank you for making it accessible to novices!
This was such a lovely roundup of how you make your hexies. Even after years of doing this craft I learnt some things from you and really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing.
Kate,
I never heard of EPP until I went to my Quilt Associations quilt Show in Watsonville,Ca. I was shown how by one of the members and fell into it. Watching your video brought more clarity and understanding as to what I am trying to do. Thank you.
Knotting the thread is very very similar to how I knot it which is the way I was taught probably 40 years ago. Wow. Just saying 40 years ago makes it sound so crazy lol. But yes that's the way I was taught! Not by my mama though I think I learned in 4H, even though mama did sew a tiny bit. She was more of a music person with playing the piano and singing. I reckon I took after my grandmother's with the desire to sew!❤
Puzzles finished. Who wants that? You're the best Kate!
First time watcher!!
You are a beautiful teacher!! What an amazing gift to give to your grand daughter!!!
Thank you for the level of detail. I watched very closely since something you might take for granted that one might know isn't quite understood. Thank you for showing all these many things I didn't quite know. Spectacular.
I do love watching your videos. I am finally ready to play with EPP hexagons.
What a fantastic video! Not just the information but your voice and your laugh are so very lovely! Now I want to go buy children’s books for my papers! They are so fun! I have 3 flower garden quilts that I inherited and one I thrifted that I’ve been repairing. My mother passed last year and while going through her stash I found many partially finished bits of flower garden quilts. Wish I knew where they were from. As a quilter she was given quite a bit of quilting fabric and such from church members.
Oh my gosh John is funny. My kids used to click my row counter on my knitting when I wasn’t looking!
You are so delightful and how brilliant using the old childrens books ❤️
Kate, while I watched your very informative video on EEP I was basting my pieces for a kit I recently bought from Mountain Creek Quilt Shop in Tennessee called Tennessee Hummingbird. It’s 70”x79”. It’s using over 2297 EEP pieces, so will be working on for awhile. A nice carry it with me project. I’m in Washington State and we have been in the 90’ for awhile and more coming..it is summer. Staying in and cool and enjoying hand stitching and you videos.
Thank you , from Iran , Persia 🙏🍀☘️
Thank You! English paper piecing! I didn’t even know it existed! Beautiful!
Sooooo great full for your tutorial. I’m visual in my learning but love the combined method u teach. Have made quilts for 30+ years, have kept my scraps cus i just couldn’t get rid of them. U are a answer to prayer. Have started making Civil War reproduction(fabric) quilts recently and just learned the small shapes were the remnants from shirts, which is why the designs are so small. Now I can make quilts to remind my family of our heritage. My great grandfather was a drummer boy in the Civil War for the North at about 14 years of age. Quilts are “our” part of our Heritage/ History. Vancouver, Wa.USA.. Our children and grandchildren need the link of heritage thru quilting, to realize who they are in this busy,wild, and at times out of control world. The basics is still staying warm and loving family.
What a terrific teacher. Enjoyed this tutorial soooooo much. Thank you.
Эмне деген сабырдуулук,албетте керемет иш,анык эмгек!Ден соолук,узун омур,ишинизге ийгилик!
WOW. great video! Thank you for taking the time to show us. To stay cool. Take a metal bucket or even a metal stock pot. Fill it with ice. Place a fan so that it is blowing right on the metal pot/bucket and you have now created air conditioning . Drinks lots and lots of water.
Thank you, thank you!!!! I have heard a bit of you discussing these details but having them like this is great!! Take care!
Oh Kate, you're so lovely! I wish we could be neighbors. Thank the Lord for internet, so we can be friends! ...of a sort 😊 This video is so so helpful - I've been trying my hand at EPP, and your video has helped me feel MUCH MORE at ease about the process. So glad I found you. ❤❤ (Thanks, Arne and Carlos!)
Thank you for this video. I started EPP after watching one of your videos a few weeks ago, and I just love it.
I love listening to you speak... You're a great instructor! Also loving this hair cut... Best one yet! ❤🇨🇦
Hi, I've never done EPP before and I learned a lot from this video. Many thanks
LOVE LOVE LOVE the whimsy and fun and recycling use of the kids’ books. 📚
I really enjoy your videos and your thoughts! Thank you so much for these beautiful, slow videos that make my day as soon as I watch them! Best wishes from Swabia, where quilting is a rather unpopular handcraft...
Never heard of this technique before. Absolutely intrigued.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial!! I have only just recently heard about English Paper Piecing, and although I didn't think at first that it would work for me, I now I understand much better how it works, and why it can be so helpful. I was going to make a big hexagon quilt, but then changed my mind about doing such a large project and decided to concentrate on smaller projects instead (table runners, placemats etc). I also decided to make smaller hexagons than I had started up with, and resized them! Now I have all these fabric hexagons sorted into "flowers" waiting to be sewn up, it does seem to me that it is going to be easier in the long run to use EPP. I do quite like doing a lot of preparation work which then makes it easier to put things together, and now that I have decided to use this method I just need the papers to sew into the fabrics. I wish I had known about EPP before I started all that cutting - although my perspex hexagon tool has been very useful in cutting up the fabrics so far. I can understand the need for accuracy in the papers, so that was also a good tip.
Thanks again - you have helped me to understand EPP better, and given me the confidence to try it out.😊
[PS: I also love the sideshow that the cats put on for our amusement!]
This was absolutely lovely. I am so inspired to give EPP a try. Thank you so very much.💞
Thank you Kate, you have encouraged me to try a hexie quilt using my precious Kaffee. I loved your patchwork dog also ❤️
You are absolutely amazing. 💞 You have come along in my life when I needed a calm, endearing friend who loves to quilt and teach just like I do. Hugs from America. 🌻
Thanks Kate for the thorough description of EPP as I am only learning the craft all your help is greatly appreciated. You have inspired me to attempt a quilt, will see how far I actually get, may just be a cushion 😂
Hi we learnt to hand sew in school
I made cot quilts for my 9 children
Also my grandchildren xx 😍
I used to have a Big Shot it took up too much space. I now own the smaller Big Shot with folding platform. I wish they were available back in the 1980's, when I started English patchwork.
That was Great,,,Kate!!!love slow stitching,,,,very slow,,,,
Started some hexagons years ago,,,,must get them back out ,,,and get thinner needles,,!!!!
Thanks you,,your a great teacher!!!!
Elaine🏡🏡
Love the sound of thread going thru the cotton,,,,🏡🏡🏡
Lovely work Kate 21 stitches from start to finish you are a very talented lady and very interesting, you also have a lovely home and family.
Many moons ago, I worked in one of the Laura Ashley shops........Heaven!!! I used to use the rolls of discontinued wallpapers for my paper templates. Watching this today has rekindled the stitching fire in me. Thank you Kate x
That quilt is beautiful. Thanks for sharing
I used to work at a living history museum here in Indiana. In one of the houses we had a English paper piecing quilt going on that was sewn by whoever whoever was playing the lady of the house. The research said it had just come over from England. The last quilt I was aware of was being "fancy cut" to make diamonds, with the same motif in each row.
Based on your Agnes quilt I’m making a twin size quilt for me! Bought 3 small jelly rolls, 11 strips per. In the process of getting them sewn onto the papers. No idea if I have enough or to many! lol. Just having fun!! They are ocean colors.
Just wow - watching from Australia - total gamechanger - I have been epping for years but use either the store bought or make my own card stock papers which yes are thick and I get the little holes in the corner - guess who is going to the local op shop to get picture books now and I have the big shot so now hexagon dies will be on order. THANK YOU SO MUCH will now have to watch your other epping ones now...
Very helpful and clear!
