Kari, your quilt is so beautiful, and what a treasure to have something made by your great grandmother! i love that it has inspired you both to make a quilt just like it! Please share the progress and finished quilt for everyone to see! It was wonderful to see you at Stitch Con A! I love the idea of a stitcher’s garden! Shellie, you are so full of beautiful ideas!

I have always loved the Grandmother's Garden quilt, I have cut out hexagons & hand stitch some together. I will have to get back to working on my hexagons along with you two ladies...

[@NDQuilter1]

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

I made a grandmother's garden quilt several years ago. I did not use paper piecing but hand cut each hexagon out by hand, which were 1-in hexagons. It took me quite a while to piece and hand quilt everything together, but I just love it.

[@dianemadison5955]

I loved sitting and chatting with y’all! Have a wonderful time at Stitch Con!

[@carolosborn4435]

So wonderful. I am going to work on a Flower Garden quilt.

[@catherinelaurent5219]

You both are a crack up, the gifts Christmas sent are beautiful. Keri: the quilt from your Aunt is lovely, 962 Hexe's is a load of cutting and piecing, looking forward to seeing the progress on the quilts. Shelly: Please give us a tour sometime of your studio, I am sure many of us would love to see it, it is so nice spending time with you both .I hope you have a ball at Stitch-Con, it sounds wonderful. I love making cording, I have a small corder that I use, I should try a drill but would probably twist off my fingers. Hvae an amazing week.

So much fun to listen to you two! Brightened my day for sure! -Michele

[@Christine-ix7tp]

Oh dearies! So glad my hastily prepared package arrived in time for you to share! Rescued from my SIL’s mother’s house clean out. Swap, share,however you please. My thoughts were you could use in who knows what - project bags, pouches, totes, whatever. And I can’t believe you’re talking about grandmother’s flower garden today. My mother made me a grandmothers flower garden as a wedding gift some 40+ years ago and I inherited one of her friend’s 1930s grandmothers flower garden. Both ALL hand pieced and quilted. Every time I tried to count the hexies I’ve lost count. Such a noble undertaking you’ll share. So far I’m mostly a wanna be quilter. You ladies are FABULOUS and give this community so much inspiration and joy! Have a wonderful time in all your adventures.

[@antiqueneedleworkers]

Oh it was sooo wonderful to find your comment!!! We both send our love your way and thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️❤️

[@Westiewoof]

What a wonderful friendship! Friends are treasures!

[@ThePinkStitchers]

Yay!! We love you both! Thank you so much for the kind words Shellie ♥ I will be at Stitch-Con weekend B and plan to finish the Stitching With Friends there. I also have a daughter named Lily and I have a degree in Laboratory Science...so you bet I went and bought a lotion bar! And I guess I'll be working on a hexie quilt....lol!! - Jayme

You’ve inspired me to finish the grandmother’s flower garden I’ve been working on. It was started by a dear friend who died of breast cancer. I’m just stuck on how to finish the edges. I’ll try to email you a couple of pictures. Have fun at Stitch Con girls!

[@Griffinand3]

Great listening to you chat!

[@jaxcreativeinspirations]

Oh my gosh I’m so excited to try out Lily’s lotion bars! My hands get SO chapped and crack and bleed because of constant hand washing (Registered Nurse here)… so very excited and happy to see you two with the saved stitches!! I’m very sorry to miss y’all at Stitch-Con this year. Maybe another time! Biggest hugs to you both…

The quilt! I'm doing something similar with hexies that my mom started. There are enough larger to do a queen quilt. I'm doing smaller ones for a baby quilt.

[@beverlywood2817]

Enjoyed this show so much today🥰. I've been quilting for over 40 Years, (boy that's hard to say). I've always wanted to make the Grandmothers Flower Garden and You've helped me to give it a go! So many quilts already in some stage of progress but now is the time. I do have more cross stitch whips so there's plenty to do but EPP is happening. I ordered the papers from Paper Pieces now to get the fabric and start cutting. I am not very good with instagram but am still trying hope you will be patient with me. It is going to take me some time to catch up with you girls. I do like your process of cutting out all pieces before starting. You are so organized. Is there a way you might could give any yardage requirements. I looked up your Liberty Fabric it is very pretty, great choice. I am going to try to finally cut into the Aunt Grace collection if I can make decisions! Hope you both have a great time in Cincy and the Stitch Con is a big success. You know it will be! Enjoy

[@billiebrochu9257]

Thank you, ladies, for an amazing sit and chat! I've never done paper piecing, but you have enabled me to try. Maybe you two can do this again?

[@antiqueneedleworkers]

We will do our best to even if it’s a split screen

[@Devetta14]

It would be so great if you and Kari could do a zoom on your FB group and we could all talk to you and Kari. I’m so jealous that you guys are together in which I’m enjoying watching this video but to be able to talk and see you both would be awesome !!😊😊❤️❤️ Love this Floss Tube it was so great to see you both wish I could’ve gone to the stitch con have a great time 😊❤️🤣❤️😊❤️😊

[@antiqueneedleworkers]

We will try to do that

[@carolegreen6764]

Not sure where to add this but I heard you talking about grumpy Susan. I had to laugh. I’ve found in doing genealogy that it was not fashionable to smile in photos. Probably because the photo process took longer and it would be hard to hold a smile for so long. I have pictures of my grandmother from the early 1900s and it was the same thing - she looked so grumpy.

[@Amy-i4d]

Dear Shellie, I just started my first EPP project and when I saw this video I thought you might be just the person to answer a question I've been struggling with. I inherited a wonderful supply of beautiful fabric from my grandmother and am so excited to hand sew with it to make a grandmother's garden EPP quilt. I think the project will be very sentimental and therapeutic for me. I feel like unbleached muslin is what I want to use for each flower center, the walking path and the backing. Do you know if using muslin would be a bad idea for any reason before I put too much time and love into this project? Love your heart and videos. Thank you for your generous spirit.

[@antiqueneedleworkers]

It should work beautifully!!!

[@Amy-i4d]

Then full steam ahead. Thank you Shellie.

[@cindygarwood2267]

Is this your inaugural video of “Grumpy Susie” Tube??? I have always wondered why you two have not started filming together (in your spare time- lol) I have lost my mind as I am totally thinking about doing this QAL…. I had to drive across the country to the Final 4 basketball to finish my “beanie” but still have the Tiger Lilly trifecta (table runner, birthday sals, mini quilted project keeper to finish. lol) So jealous I cannot meet you both at weekend A as I am attending weekend B. Really enjoyed your video and infectious enthusiasm ❤️ Have fun at Stitch Con and I hope you consider a joint QAL video❤

[@theresaclark762]

Ok you got me, I've got one hexie queen quilt in waiting to be hand quilted, and I started another a year ago (kind of modern). So of course I'll jump on the band wagon with your sal. I don't use glue. My grandmother's hexie quilt took me two years to assemble. I'd love to send you pictures. Old pictures often looked like grumpy people, but most of the time it was that their teeth were so bad, so they wouldn't smile.
