Well done Karen a fantastic effort and congratulations Miss linda ]:) I do hope you remember my address.

In regards to recent posts about labels on quilts on extra special ones I not only sew them into the corner of quilt but also before quilting so they become quilted along with the backing,
I also keep a "providence" of each quilt, take pics of fabrics as I choose them and then a pic of completed top then another when quilting and binding is done. I have a little external hard drive that i keep this info

That way if there is any dispute over ownership I know when I made it and who it was made for and its very hard to remove a quilted in label

hi there sewinggilly - I've seen that written in books & online. Certainly a great idea...
Re the providence issue - mine is not quite the same, but for many years, I have kept exercise books, into which I staple fabric samples, pattern/design names, date of completion & photos.
Over the years I've made my kids clothes, sunhats, bags of all types, table runners, cushions, event clothing like wedding outfits for my DD's & communion dresses.
As a result I have quite a few exercise books of stuff. It's lovely to look back & see how much I've done. And satisfying to see the different things I've taught myself to do & skills I've mastered. And disasters I've resurrected!...
I also have a 'album' in our computer of pics of my stuff, both progress pics & pics of completed item.
I put a label or marking on every item I make.

gee you are better than me LTS. I don't keep records, other than stuff I post on here or facebook!

I just do it! Maybe I should keep records? Nah.....I do it for me. In 5 years the dog will have eaten them no doubt, but they will have served their purpose...a gift of love and time n, IMO to be used, loved and abused......

hi keelia - I don't know why I started doing it, & why i continue. Once the pages are done, I rarely look back on them. I don't expect anyone to still be treasuring anything I make in 100yrs time. I make it to be practical, loved, worn, used, whatever...
But I guess if I was a serious quilter, which I never will be, I would be doing what sewinggilly does.
I just like to label my work, in the same way kids always put their names of their paintings at school. I especially do it for when I give something I have made as a gift.

thought i'd better give this a bump , don't want it disappearing

I have a question about hexagons...

I'm thinking about making some hexagon flowers to embellish a project I'm planning...
I will be using the hexagon shaped papers, but I'm confused about stitching the fabric around those papers.
When I'm tacking the fabric, do I stitch through the paper template as well? Or do I tack only the fabric?
I've looked at tutorials online, & I'm finding it a bit confusing.

I would be glad of any advice, thanks

Sew through the papers as well, you just cut the stitches after you sew them together, will see if I can find a pic to explain.
You can of course do it without stitching through the paper, depends what you are comfy with 🙂

See step 4?

I had seen that one already a while ago azure, thanks for reminding me of it, it's a good one too...

I think, because I'll be learning how to do this method, I'll try both ways, & see what I find best for me.
I was just wondering whether the good people here had a preferred method, or opinion either way.

Then if I like doing the hex's for the projects I'm planning, I might even start doing some more hex's & just hoarding them for a bigger project some time in the future...

thanks again azure

And also, I think I'll buy some pre cut shapes, because I want to make sure I get a good shape every time...

But I have about 536 other UFO's I have to get to FIRST!!
