Gollie Charm

My popular little "Gollie  Charm" quilt (approx 24x26"). Designed and made in 1996. 

In fact mine was so popular it was stolen from my shop. 

The sample shown here was very generously made under the cover of darkness by my friend Jean O'Connor who  surprised me with this  replacement.

 Patterns are $15.40 and kits which include all fabrics, threads and fusible web are now available with red, green or blue borders. Kits $66.00.

EPP- hexagons

Just s few pics to show you how I sew and prepare my hexagons. I like to use the Sewline glue pen on my papers. I hold the hexagons together with a wonderclip as I sew. I also use wonder clips to hold batches of hexies together ready to take with me  to  sew.

English paper piecing tip for newbies

Firstly, I am reasonably new to English paper piecing, so many of you will know far more than me, but some folk are new to it and have asked  how I go about it. 

 No template ? 

Just a little tip for cutting shapes for epp. 

Pic 1. I have four layers of fabrics. I stapled the paper template through the layers. 

Pic 2. I used my rotary cutter lining up 1/4" seam allowance to make  the straight cuts.

Pic 3. I then used scissors to cut the curve. 

Now all ready for glueing ( or tacking if you prefer).
