GROW YOUR BLOG

Flora and Fauna, Parts of the Garden close-up

Welcome! It is time for the Grow Your Blog Party! This event is organized by Vicki at 2 Bags Full. I'm looking forward to exploring and finding new and interesting blogs.


For those of you who are new to my blog my name is Karen H and I am a quilter. I love all sorts of quilting styles and techniques. I've made traditional, applique and improv quilts. To get an idea of what I do you can visit my Quilt Gallery to see some of my quilts.

There's a Snail in Grandma's Flower Garden close-up

I think my favourite shape to work with is a hexagon. If you love hexagons you've come to the right place! I've developed my own fast easy techniques for making great hexagon blocks. Earlier this week I posted two part tutorial on making stars like this one! Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here.


And then on January 23, 2014 I published instructions for making yet another hexagon block which is a variation of the block above.


I've got another fun hexagon block ready and I'll publish the instructions on Sunday or Monday!

I started blogging ten months ago because I wanted to be able to share with others what I do and how I do it. On January 3rd I launched my first ever free quilt pattern, Soupcon Hexagon Quilt Along (QAL). Soupcon is a French word that means a little bit. This QAL includes a little bit of things I designed this quilt so allow others to experiment with methods I love to use in my quilts including hexagons, embroidery, applique and piecing! There are beginners and experienced quilters participating so it is suitable for all skill levels!

This is a six part pattern and every two weeks I release another installment. Each installment includes a number of design options so that you can make the quilt uniquely your own. In addition at the end I'll be providing some ideas for turning the wall hanging into a quilt. If you are interested in participating in my QAL Step 1 is here and Step 2 is here. Step 3 will be available on February 1. I'm making two versions of the quilt and this is how mine look after step 2 is completed! Those making the quilt are posting pictures on my Soupcon FLICKR Group. You will be amazed at how different they look and each one is gorgeous!



I've got loads of quilt tops waiting to be quilted. Here are the three that I think will be the next in line!

81 The Giant Monstrosity

Piccadilly to the Nines

Lazy Girl

And now for the give away! I made hardcover needle books for my friends as Christmas gifts. The free pattern comes from The Studiolo. I've made another hardcover needle book as a give away for Grow Your Blog Day. If you would like a chance to win this needle book simply leave me a comment telling me which needle book you would like to win, the pink leaf or the teal leaf!



I will reply to every comment so if you don't hear back from me it is because you are a No-Reply Blogger. I have no way to contact No-Reply Bloggers so you won't be entered in the draw unless you leave your email address in the comment. Be sure to use the following format: name(at)emailserver(dot)com. Vicky the Grow Your Blog Party organizer has asked that all participating blogs announce prize winner on the same day, February 15. THE GIVE AWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

I hope you enjoy my blog; there are lots of free tips, tutorials, patterns and my Soupcon Quilt Along!I hope you'll take a few moments to look around and if you like what you've seen I hope you'll consider following me on Bloglovin or by email. Until I post again, happy sewing!

  12. Gosh! Your quilting is absolutely beautiful! How talented you are. I tried quilting once, but I'm not sure it's for me - I prefer working with paper, glue and calligraphy pens! I hope you can pop over to my blogs and visit me! (I love both your needle cases, but teal is really "my" colour - I've just bought two (more) teal garments to wear!)

  26. I'm so glad I found your blog in the last hop I participated in. Your hexagons are always amazing and so fun. You have really, really, really taken them to a new level for me.

  89. I found your blog by looking at hexie quilts!! One page lead to another, and your blog came up. I am so glad I found it!! I usually work in the 3/4 inch hexie size, but am going to get some 1 inch hexies to play with your fun new ways of making hexies with inserted fabrics. Your tutorials are easy to follow and very well written. I just need a couple more days in my week. I love the pink needlebook. My almost new daughter in law loves pink---they get married on Saturday---and I am seeing everything with a pink tint!! It is amazing how many things can be made with just this one shape. It is so much fun to go through and see all the different blocks made with a variety of fabrics. I have recognized a lot of the prints. Thanks for all your hard work to make this such a fun place to visit.

  90. I came by your blog courtesy of Vicki's Grow Your Blog Party and it has been a pleasure perusing some of your posts and seeing your wonderful works of art in the form of quilts. I have done some quilting from time to time, much by trial and error. I know now where some great tutorials on quilting techniques.

    I am glad I visited today and am signing up to follow you. Hope you can find time to visit my humble blog.

  91. Hi Karen, I'm visiting from GYB. Your quilts are quite something and have a really unusual style which I really like I don't quilt, but as I give almost every craft a try I cant think I wont get round to this though I've only just started machine sewing.

    I am going to follow you on bloglovin and would love to be entered into your prize draw. Frankly both cases are gorgeous and I would be delighted with either.

  94. I just discovered your blog through Cat Patches. I love, love, love reading through it and seeing all your wonderful tutorials. I'm sorry I didn't find you earlier and started learning about how you do your paperpieced hexies. Maybe later in the year I will have time to start one of your lessons. I love hand stitching things, but my UFO list is so long I am shying away from them right now. I will bookmark your info for my future enjoyment. Thanks for sharing so much of your talents and quilt histories.

  99. Hi Karen,

    Your projects are all wonderful -- so much eye candy!

    Thanks also for the chance to win a needle case. I would choose the teal one, as teal is one of my favorite colors.

    Lots of greetings from Germany,
    Birgit

  101. Hi Karen
    I love your blog, I'm in your Soupçon quilt along but I'm a bit late, I'm still in the embroidery, step 2. I had never heard about fussy cut hexagons and I love them it's a great discovery! Thanks so much for your great tutorials.

  102. Hi Karen, I'm visiting from the Grow Your Blog hop and I am so impressed with your blog and your quilting. I like hexies but am fairly new to them and had no idea you can do that much with them. I'm looking forward to seeing your tutorials now.
