Dresden Flower By: LeAnne Law, Oregon, USA This dresden pattern is by Vicki at Quilting Lodge blog. She was gracious enough to give the pattern away on her blog during the Dare to Dresden blog hop.

English Paper Pieced Table Runner By: Karin, Australia I came across English Paper Piecing at a Quilt Show some years ago. Seduced by the fabric, I bought a bag each of these tiny squares and hexagons, however the project became an UFO in due course after the first few rows. Last year I dragged it out again and completed it. So worth it in the end. Quilt size: width: 19.5" height: 34" |

There’s a snail in Grandma’s flower garden By: Karen H, Ontario, Canada There’s one lonely snail hiding in the hand-embroidered border (visit my blog for a close-up look and see if you can find the snail).

I have not done any EPP yet, but really want to try it sometime. I’m making a hexie quilt right now sewing it the traditional way. I love the watermelon table runner!
I have tried the english paper piecing, started to the grandmother flower garden…my tip would be to hand stitch all, was brutal trying to piece it together by maching… I put that aside for many years, have to take apart to correctly do it by hand :)
I’ve never done EPP because I know nothing about it. I’m relatively new to quilting and am just happy to be able to achieve nice things on small quilts. It certainly looks intriguing though and I like learning new stuff :-)
I love EPP. I have a “to-go” bag ready to keep with me during my kids’ ball practices and games. I can get many hexies basted during a baseball game & still see everything important!
I have not done EPP, but would love to learn. I do machine pp and have taken a few classes. I would like something more portable.
ik vind paperpiercing fijn om te doen
I love the delectable watermelon table runner. I have a sister-in-law that has her kitchen done in watermelon and I would love to win this and make it for her and surprise her with it!!! Good luck to everyone!
Haven’t tackled that technique yet, but I’m preparing a sewing kit of EPP for hand sewing while traveling this summer.
Oh my goodness, that was a very tough decision! I haven’t tried EPP yet, it intimidates me :(
I haven’t done any EPP in the last ten years but have a quilt that has a EPP block in it that I am working on
I’m going to be english paper piecing very soon because I’m in love with this watermelon pattern! So cute and clever!
I’ve never done English Paper Piecing before and will try to learn how. I love the Hexy Watermelon Table Runner Whoo! Hoo! Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
I love EPP! It is a great to go progect. Since I spend a lot of time runing to different. Doctor appointments due to my health condition I always have a bagready to go in my sewing tote that goes with me everywhere. At the young age of 36 I was informed that my carrer as a respiratory therapist was over. Never have sewn on a sewing machine before somethIng just told me to buy one and join a quiltinf class well as you can image it was a devastating experience for me for a few weeks but I hung in there and things became much better for me. The EPP technique was our groups first challenge since we were all new to quilting we all just looked at these hextagons and really wondered how we were to make somerhing out of thwse pices. With me I would rather sew by hand any day od the week than use my machine. It has been awesomw therapy for me. So I set out to just challenge done andby my surprise I was the only on to finish the challenge. Now I always have flower pieces ready to go by my chair and in my bag. Ive tried every method I have found on EPP and my favorite is using wax paper since it keeps tje hexagos retain there shape very well. I actually have made a hextagon 1/4″ used them in a min quilt I entered in our local quilt show didnt win a ribbon but was 1 point from a perfect score. I cherish that progect just as all of you will as you learn this fabulous. EPP technique it is very rewarding in the end to actually see a finished proget you made with your hands. You all can do this! I have a lot of faith I know tjat if I can learn to do this anyone can!!! Good luck to all of you on your adventure with your EPP. It would be awesome to win this table runner when I look at a quilting project someone else has made I think to myself I wonder what stories about this person this project could tell if it couldtalk. Thats the amazing art of quilting ecery project does have secret stories hidden in every stitch and seam about what our minds where thinking at the time we were making our project. It rwally just amazes me how people put a lot of prayers and conversatikn into completing a quilt. Thanks to all for allowing me to post my commet. God Bless to all. MICHE LLE
Yes, I’ve done EPP. I like it because everything turns out so neat and tidy!
I love, love, love EPP! Bags, quilts, stockings, oh my!!
I’m learning to love EPP. I’ve done several small projects. I keep staring at Tumbling Snowflakes by The Caffeinated Quilter, but not sure. I think next is her Delectable Watermelon :)
Never have but it,s on my list
I have not done EPP. I just completed my very first quilt.
I love EPP. I am making a big grandmothers flowergarden of scraps, a great way to use your leftovers!
I haven’t done any EPP yet, it looks like a fun technique to try.
Thanks for the opprtunity on the draw

I haven’t tried EPP yet. Have all of the supplies needed because it’s on my list of sewing to do for the first half of this year. I LOVE your watermelon hexie runner. Can you say ADORABLE? Beautiful.
Love EPP. It’s a great way to pass time while traveling. It doesn’t take a lot of supplies so it is easy to grab and run. It is also something productive to do while watching TV.
I tried a couple that were supposed to be EEp but I made templates instead. I did an perwinkle, I would like to try hexagon but it just seems like to much work. I trying one by just sewing the raw edges together going good so far.
I love epp – I’m currently working on a scrap project…not sure how big it will be in the end but EPP is a great ‘take along’ project and I always need a take along project since I can’t sit still… thanks!
I have been hand piecing my grandmother’s garden for 4 years now. I take it with me wherever I go. In fact my husband is in the hospital and I have my hexies right next to me!
This is impressing work you’re displaying, awsome!
I started hand piecing hexagon flowers a bit over a year ago, but as I go by car mostly, I don’t get any piecing done when away. It’s growing slowly but steadily.
I am new to it and have only doen a few hexie flowers. Its is fun and relaxing!
I just learned EPP. I’m planning on repairing a vintage quilt top, and, adding a few tiny EPP flowers to a mini quilt (to start with).
I haven’t tried EPP yet, but I’m intrigued by hexagons. This table runner would be perfect!
My EPP project is still ongoing. I have a total of 1100 give or take a few using all those little pieces of scraps in my stash, its a great pass time while hubby is watching tv, LOL
I have done paper pieceing and using those paper pieces is my favorite way to do it too. That watermelon pattern is so cute.
I have been seeing a lot of EPP going on out there and am intrigued. Our hydro has been out since last night so I am unable to use my sewing machine today. EPP would be the way to go! I could still get my sewing fix for the day!
I’ve never done EPP but I think it would make a great take-along project! I like the shapes, I like the designs, and I think it would be a lot of fun. :)
I am currently makeing hexies fo r3 diffrente projects. Of course I may be a hundred before I actually get them all finished. ..But they will be gorgeous for sure.
I have done a couple of Hexi quilts, and dang it i clean forgot to put in an entry. My first took me 30years to finish and the second is still waiting to be quilted. There are some beauties in this weeks comp but i am surprised there are not more entries as EPP is so popular
I have tried EPP Hexies & find it relaxing.
No I haven’t done any epp yet. I’m a new quilter, and have a long list of different techniques I want to try and haven’t gotten to it yet. Love these quilts! :)
I love EPP. I have done many hexies and have a couple of tops completed but I haven’t quilted them you. I did finish a hexie bookmark.
Thanks for the chance to win.
:)Carol
I haven’t tried Paper Piecing yet…. Am pretty new to quilty things…but haven’t tried Hexie’s & other paper piecing projects because I am just a bit chicken!!! lol
Grrrrrreat job to all the quilter’s here…Awesome quilts!!
i’m finishing my flower garden, generation x’s hexalong, have the borders on and doing the vines and flowers on the upper border. will do the flowers and vines on the lower next to finish the top. love the hexies and look forward to doing lots more hexie projects!
I haven’t yet tried English Paper Piecing since I’m still working on other techniques but would love to give it a go.
I have done a little paper piecing but not sure if it is English paper piecing. I enjoyed the projects I did. The quilts displayed are wonderful and I am sure many happy hours were spent on them. Thank you.
I just finished my daughter’s wedding quilt. I used scraps from many projects over the years and made a scrappy grandmother’s flower garden. Each “flower ” is surrounded in black and I call it “Mom’s Wildflower Garden”.
I haven’t done any EPP since hexagons in the eighties!!
Only done the one project entered. Incredibly soothing to do although it takes a long time. A good project to have on the side…watched a lot of TV while I was doing it.
I’ve just tried some EPP recently, and think it’s a lot of fun. I would love to win the pattern so it would get me going!
Love EPP.
I have tried EEP and my tip would be to be patient and prepare hexies ahead of time so if you are going on a trip or have to wait in a doctor’s office, you have them ready to go!
I have made a few Dresden projects…a quilt and a project carrying bag. I have not made a single hexagon…but it is on my bucket list. Luv the watermelon table runner. Thanks for the chance.
A wonderful person, rose you know who im talking about, recently got me to try paper piecing. But she forgot to tell mr one very important fact, how addicting it is!! I have quilted for forty years and was afraid to try it. I dont have any hexies and would love to win and make something to give rose babscorbitt@gmail.com
