Listening to your calm voice while learning new techniques, tips & tricks is medicine to my ears & nerves. I am more likely to try this in the future someday now. It’s a great way to start my day. Thanks again Sherri!
Love hexagons. I used the small hexagon paper pieces and made a grandmothers flower garden. I made it for my Daughter and it only took me 30 years lol. I hand quilted it, actually it was all hand pieced too.
Omgoodness, you really took the whole bite😳 Well, I’m sure during that 30 year timeframe you had a life going on🧐🤔. That’s absolutely wonderful to take in project as such👏👏👏 ❤️😀
Thank you. Yes I had 3 children went back to college to get my Nursing degree, worked full time etc... she reminded periodically I still needed to finish it for her. :)
I have always machined sewn my appliqués onto my backing. I am going to try this technique with the Dresden plate that I am making. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for the tips, I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing. That is the method I use when I hand sew my binding on, it always looks neat and tidy, and sturdy.
Thanks for a very informative video. Makes hand applique less daunting and more doable. An Easter project maybe, as I will be away from my machine for days. Cheers.
I love the 3 of you. You have rekindled my interest in quilting and especially applique. I had completed several blocks many years ago but had surgery on my right elbow. I tried to get interested again but it was different season in my life. 20 or more years later I'm gathering rulers, jelly rolls and layer cakes. I'm so excited thanks to the 3 of you...including Billy too. BTW I would only cut the background material if it was too difficult to get the freezer paper out from the front. God bless you!!
Thank you for showing us your process, Sherri. I love the beautiful quilts and projects you have made with the grandmother flower. I am obsessed with hexi's and hand applique. I'm working on the blocks for your "Blooms" pattern and enjoying the journey!
Many years ago when learning hand appliqué, we were taught using silk thread for it is much finer therefore giving more invisible stitching, and we also were taught to only pick up 2 to 3 threads from the backing fabric and to pick 2 to 3 threads from the piece being appliquéd just on the underside edge of the piece thereby no stitches were visible. This was the same way we were taught to finish hand stitching our binding.
Hi Sherri - This video was perfect! Exactly what I needed to learn how to do. You are an excellent teacher. I purchased your pattern (Flowers for Emma). I think your quilt is simply gorgeous. Since I found your channel, I’ve been binge watching your videos. It would be awesome to be able to take an actual class with you. I learn so much just watching you. Waiting for the Seashore Drive fabric to start this quilt. It’s my first quilt so I’m trying to learn every little tip that you share. Your quilts are all beautiful. Love all of the fabrics that y’all have designed. The whimsical flowers just speak to my heart when I look at them. I bought a Happy Day jelly roll from you. Then I found Balboa and it’s so gorgeous. Was able to find a honeybun on Etsy of it. Will be practicing making these hexi flowers with some fabric in my stash. Thank you for all these tutorials. I really do appreciate them. Hugs!
Thank you for this. I am making these hexi flowers nowadays to use all my scraps. I haven’t decided if I want to appliqué them or join them together. But you have just given me a few ideas.
Thank you, Sherri! Perfect timing, I was working on an appliqué and watching videos. 😄 Your video made me a little more confident in my appliqué, sometimes it’s hard to know if you are doing something correctly. I’m sure I’ve seen the other videos you mentioned but I will need to refresh my mind a bit. 😂
I am also interested in needle size. It must be very tiny I’m guessing. I feel you’ve given me the confidence to try. I love to cross stitch and bond, feel like this is something calming for evenings in front of the tv or in the car.
Sherri, enjoyed this tutorial. About 6 years ago I bought a collection of hexagons. They were done by a woman that died and her niece sent them to a friend that put them in a sales booth at our local quilt show. There are dozens finished and hundreds of single 1 1/2" hexies. She had put alot together for grandmothers flower garden. But now I would like to set them on squares. So my question is what size block. The hexi flower is 7" point to point. 10 inches seem to big. Thanks. PS the fabric looks like it is from the 40's and 50's and her stitches are so tiny.
I didn't catch the name of the stitch your using?? I've been using slip stitching...is one type better (more secure) than the other? Thanks Sherri! Great tutorial! (as always)
Thank you for sharing this! I’ve been playing with hexies and happy to see your tips on adding them to a background to make a quilt top. I was curious about removing the papers before appliquéing the flowers .. 🧵

I don’t think I’d ever do an entire quilt. But I can see pillows or table runners being much more doable. Good tutorial!
I love hand piecing , it’s quiet relaxing work.
Thank you Sherri lovely to see you sewing up close. Hand sewing is something I am slowly getting better with, with practice. You are inspiring.
I’ve wanted to try appliqué thanks for the great video!
Thanks for the hexi applique tutorial. I appreciate all your wonderful tips. I can't wait to try this.
Love the tip for having more than one needle threaded and ready to go!!
Sherri- thank you so much! I too have been wanting to give this a try ❤️😀
Thanks for the tutorial Sherri.
Thanks for the video! I have your book and need to dive into making the flowers. I am halfway done on my Dresden’s for the table runner.
I have always machined sewn my appliqués onto my backing. I am going to try this technique with the Dresden plate that I am making. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you so much, just love my hexies and I do hand stitch and machine stitch mine down. But I love the hand work most! Take care
The hand sewing part is what has kept me from trying this. Thank you for the tips.

Thank you so much for this I’m a beginner and don’t know much but I wanna give this a try

Beautiful fabrics! I love this! I am just now learning EPP. I am excited to learn how to appliqué them next.

Excellent! Thank you
Thank you! I’m working in Flowers for Emma and need this.
Thank you so much for sharing this
awsome video Sherri 🎉

Beautiful applique’❤
What size needle? A brand you recommend? Thanks for video.

Nice makeup today.
What size papers did you use. Love you technique and design. I am looking forward to making a quilt like this. Thank you for sharing and educating.
I’ve had them shift a little so I iron lightweight fusible to hold it and then I’ll hand stitch

I would like to know what size sewing needle is being used.
What size are the hexagons? Love the quilt!
Thank you for the video, just getting ready to start the "Sweet" patter. Why not stitch using the machine instead of hand sewing?
Thank you for another great tutorial. Is the stitch you are doing similar to how you would do binding?
I didn't catch the name of the stitch your using?? I've been using slip stitching...is one type better (more secure) than the other? Thanks Sherri! Great tutorial! (as always)
💛💛💛
Do you use a thread conditioner when you hand sew?

What is the name of the quilted hexagon quilt in video and is there a pattern
tyty
I am trying to find this software
👍❤️😊
is that like a binding stitch? i am not sure i see well how you do it :/
I'm having a problem seeing what kind of stitch you are doing
A lot of talking.
I want to watch the technique. You are 4:00 minutes over just talking.
