Giveaway has ended...
I've tried to do EPP but my shapes always turn out wonky. Love the picture of her ginger in the scrap pile. I am partial to gingers because I am mom to two of them.
ReplyDeleteI love EPP but so far have only done hexagons. Jessica's star quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried it, but it's on my want to do list!
ReplyDeleteI did my first ones before I knew the term EPP. Love the new take on traditional techniques.
ReplyDeleteI've made two EPP quilts- they were indeed labours of love!
ReplyDeleteI do hand work all the time. Right now I am knitting socks. I am also in the process of starting some English paper piecing. I just need an idea for a pattern. But I have my fabric cut. If I'm not doing hand work I am on my iPad.
ReplyDeleteI've done hexies but I'd like to try other shapes!
ReplyDeleteI have been doing EPP for about a little over a year now. I am working on a grandmothers flower garden and have also made several Christmas ornaments with EPP. As a matter of fact it was Jessica's blog and video that got me started on EPP. Thank you for the chance to win this lovely book.

Three weeks ago, I started my very first EPP project: hexagon flowers. It's my TV-time and travel hand piecing project. I've got an EZ hexagon ruler and am cutting my own paper pieces from business reply cards found in magazines. I'm still getting the hang of sewing the pieces together, and I'm looking forward to the day when I have enough flower blocks to start piecing them together. Thanks for the chance to win Jessica's book.
ReplyDeleteI have started my first EPP hexagon project. I found a unique setting several months ago that I plan to do. I'm enjoying building a stash of hexies while traveling or watching a movie. I can see this will be a lengthy process but I am enjoying the journey. I bought a lidded container with dividers I am sorting the hexies by color into it. Soon I will have enough variety to begin joining them. Would love to have this book.
ReplyDeleteI need to try this technique!
ReplyDeleteI love English paper piecing! I have three projects on the I, about to add a fourth with lozenges this time! Would love to check Jessica's book out.
ReplyDeletealmost all of my work is done by hand. I machine some tops but prefer hand work, almost all my quilts I do the quilting by hand also. I have made over a 100 quilts I have lost track!
ReplyDeleteI have tried English Paper Piecing and absolutely loved it. This would be a great book I am sure.
ReplyDeleteI made a queen-sized EPP hexagon scrappy flower quilt - Love it so much!!! Now I am making a 3/4-inch hexie of every fabric that passes through my hands to collect for another large quilt (probably a lifetime project). I would love some more EPP Ideas. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletenope, haven't tried it, but Jessica's book is making me re-think it. thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI tried english paper piecing a year ago thinking I can't imagine that this will be fun. I am hooked! I challenge myself to make my stitches small and get as many as possible in a one inch space. It is very meditating and relaxing for some reason. Thanks for offering a great giveaway and have a great time on the road.
ReplyDeleteA friend just recommended this book in my EPP quilting bee. Right now I am working on LV octagons!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to try this. Need a new hand project.
ReplyDeleteI have done one project..That is started a grandmonthers flower garden.... then I saw A beading pattern that reminded me of the hexes I was makeing ....then I used the hexies to make a lovely butterfly wall hanging...
ReplyDeleteI have not done any handwork and would not mind giving it a go!
ReplyDeletelove doing handwork. i am working on making hexagons from different polka dot fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love doing handwork, but have not tried EPP.
ReplyDeleteI do love hand work & am in need of a new project.
ReplyDeletePhyllis
I've several projects started but have yet to finish any of them. Seems to be a recurring problem with me.......
ReplyDeleteI have done some EPP, but not a lot. This is inspiring. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI've tried EPP at my quilt group meeting one time, and I've done a little hand sewing with freezer paper templates. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it. Someday! Her star quilt is GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesting. I mostly work by hand.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of piecing by hand - easy to take with me. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCute picture of her little boy playing in the scraps. I am learning how to hand piece, but have never tried EPP. Would love to win this book!
ReplyDeleteI love EPP. I have a few projects started. I would love to add this book to my collection!
ReplyDeleteAlways looking for a new book on hexies. Something that is not Grandmother's Flower Garden oriented! Seems like the perfect book for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt and for that matter son- a very autumnal interior shot. Have never EPP'd but would love to learn. Thank you for the opportunity to win and congratulations to Jessica!
ReplyDeleteI have to have hand work if I'm going to spend "quality" time in front of the tv with my hubby. Sewing or knitting. Can't just sit. Unless I'm reading blogs.
ReplyDeleteI have done EPP hexagons, love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the flexibility of being able to take EPP anywhere. I love hexagons, the smaller the better, but I have done other shapes as well.
ReplyDeleteJessica's star quilt top is outstanding! I love hand work more than any other aspect of quilting. I'm currently hand piecing a hexie top with contemporary fabric (the hexies are huge, too). I would like to try the EPP method one of these days.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to add this book to my library.
ReplyDeleteI did a hand applique project many years ago. Hexies are on my list for this year.
ReplyDeleteI do lots of hand piecing and hand quilting, but have only recently started some EPP - and loved it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big hand piecing fan - just love it! So sociable and portable.
ReplyDeleteHave never done EPP but with a long road trip on the books for this summer the idea has been on my mind to help pass the miles
ReplyDeleteI am working on hexes right now as my 'hand' project.
ReplyDeleteI've never done any EPP, but this hop is inspiring me to try it. Thanks for the Minnesota pictures! Beautiful scenery and beautiful quilts!
ReplyDeleteHELLO! YES,I'VE DONE A COUPLE SMALLER PROJECTS>STARS.
ReplyDeleteWANT TO TRY HEXIES NEXT.
THANKS FOR SHARING!

I do enjoy making hexagons. This looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteI have done a little paper piecing, but that book would certainly get me motivated to do more.
ReplyDeleteI love paper piecing, but I'm always on the hunt for new/different techniques. This book looks great! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy hand piecing but so far I haven't done any EPP. It looks like a wonderful "take along" method, plus the fact that it is so precise really appeals to me! :)
ReplyDeleteHoping to win so I can use this book as a reference for EPP. Thanks for chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHoping to win so I can use this book as a reference for EPP. Thanks for chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried EPP yet but I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteI've just learned EPP in the past few months. Added Hexie flowers to the border of a mini quilt last week. I'm sure there will be more EPP in my future.
ReplyDeleteI made a pillow cover which is just awaiting the quilting to finish it! I really enjoyed it, my first EPP project but not my last. See it here: http://lisainporthope.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/finish-a-long-goals-for-q2/
ReplyDeleteI used some hexies is pillow and now I working o the Star Flower pattern by Regina Grewe
ReplyDeleteYou are so kind to offer this book as a give-away. Here's hoping I win the book as I'd love to learn English Paper Piecing.
ReplyDeletei have done hand quilting on two baby quilts and bind all my quilts by hand. but this blog hop has me convinced to give epp a try! i love the idea of a project i can take anywhere, on the go.
ReplyDeleteYes, I love to EPP and would love t win this book! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book as I am always thinking of quilts that I can do by hand so that I will always have something to sew at our quilt meetings. A great name for the book.
ReplyDeleteI've become a fan of hand piecing since discovering Inklingo! I print the cutting lines and stitching lines on the fabric and I'm good to go!! Even curves are delightful to stitch...and always perfect since I stitch right on the line!! Looks like a great book and easily adaptable to other methods! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful hand work! and gorgeous quilts! I do love EPP and keep a bowl with material swatches and hexies near the couch so I can pick some up to work on while watching TV in the evenings. Not sure what to make yet, but when I do, I'll be ready!
ReplyDeleteThese EPP projects look so pretty and fun. I have never tried to do one....yet! This book looks like something I would need to give it a go. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteOh Victoria, how I would love to win this book!
ReplyDeleteI am making a huge EPP, 1" hexie quilt. So far I have basted 2000 hexies. They are all scrappy, with scraps from my internet friends, so I will be basting all 2500 hexies before I start hand-sewing them all together. I would love to know more about EPP shapes and pattens, so this book would be right up my alley!
I have your book as well and really enjoy going through it, though I have not made a project yet.
Anyway, thanks for the giveaway!

I'm not fond of hand sewing, so no, I have not done EPP. But I recently spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for someone, and I sure wish I had a project to work on. So, now I am thinking it is time to hand sew....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely book! I'd definitely would like to try EPP projects - especially on the go! I usually crochet in public, but I'm very much interested in doing EPP quilting in public!! Thanks for the chance to win ;)
ReplyDeletegreat post! i love the precision. my daughter and i are new to quilting (so much traveling) but we are ready to get started!
ReplyDeletei just love your blog, by the way.
have a great day.
I've done a bit of hexie EPP, but I would love to branch out into other shapes too!
ReplyDeleteI just found this book/blog hop so I'm glad I'm not too late to enter the giveaway. I tried EPP once but never finished the project, so Jessica's book would be the incentive to try it again.
ReplyDeleteI love the hexies and have a huge box of them made but haven't taken that next step to find a pattern I really love.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried hand piecing but do have some hexies all cut out ready to work on just haven't gotten into it yet. Would love to win this book for some real how to instructions! mburnette912@bellsouth.net
ReplyDeleteI've completed one very small EPP project where would need to applique the tiny hexie flower. I have made hexagons using my own cobbled up method. What I really need are 1-real instructions for EPP; 2-patterns for making an actual quilt with finishing options; 3-that pattern I really really love that get to make. Thanks for the chance to win! I love handsewing and handpiecing, as well as handquilting....and want to be EPP on the GO too! mlwright29@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteplease RNG, send me a win
I love handwork of all types. I've made an EPP table runner and I'm well into a GFG, which I really need to finish. I'd love a chance at winning her book. Her work is so amazing and neat. I love her video she did showing her method, with George's help, too cute.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy you summer, Helen
I started making hexagons 9 months ago, to be productive in my waiting time. I really like the modern twist on hexagons, no grandma's flower garden for me, I'm planning Dad's flower garden for my upcoming quilt(s).
ReplyDeleteI am slowly learning how to do EPP and I would love love love to win this book!
