Thank you Kate!!! I was hoping to find this little patch dog video. I wasn’t sure that there was, so I’m completely thrilled!!❤️

My papers are all cut and ready. Fabrics chosen. Oh, Netflix movie: Always August Rush! The music!!!!!!

I'm so excited to find this series! My Grandma use to make these dogs, but I was little and didn't learn how she did it. Thank you!! I didn't have enough of Grandma's scraps to make small quilts for everyone, but the dogs will double the memory of dear Granny. So grateful for you.

Kate this is a great idea, you are keeping a craft alive by showing everyone how to make this doggie, you've even inspired me to start paper piecing too, have done a hexagon quilt that I made many years ago and gave to my niece, I just love to sew, I do use a sewing machine, but it's nice to just have a project done all by hand, and take with you if your go to any sports games etc. Give it a go people it is fun and you will get addicted to it. Thanks Kate you are a treasure, I love your channel, much blessings to you!

I've never heard of this before but I will give it a try. At the moment I'm crocheting blankets for 2 of my youngest grandchildren. I'll come back to this. Thank you for the tutorial. I think it's so nice to pass something on that your mother taught you!

I will watch you do your quilting while I am knitting socks. It was a new years resolution for me to learn how to knit socks and I am on my second pair at the moment. I still remember my granny in front of her cole fire knitting socks, those four needles clicking along. It always looked like magic to me. She told me it was easy, and she taught me lots of things. To knit, crochet and embroider. But what young girl is interested in knitting socks? I wasn't. .......😳 I really can't believe I am starting to understand the formula for making socks, it really is just a formula. Like all the other crafty things we do, once you understand the bones......you got it. Maybe this year I can also expand my efforts on quilting. I've made some false starts, but I've learned a little more about its formula. And there is always youtube. Thank you for teaching us how to make your precious doggy.

I just LOVE all the Liberty cotton on Patch! Where I live we don'g get much of it and it's so rare to find that it's just so special when you do.

Oh this is wonderful!!! I think I will have my husband pick up some fabric while he is in the city today. It was so lovely to see you today. I have been missing your videos. They feel like lovely chats with a friend. ❤️❤️❤️

Leaving for a beach vacation Monday and I will be bringing my "bits and pieces" to start my first EPP project - one of these lovely dogs!

A wonderful waiting for garden time occupation. I will enjoy vicariously as I view.

I can do this! I always think of quilting as to complicated because sewing straight lines is hard for me. (I don't do machine sewing) But I can cut paper and handsew...woohoo! Now I need to choose some fabric.....Thanks Kate!!!

So cute! I'm going back and binge-watching your old videos. Thanks so much Kate! ❤️ Denise from Texas

ive made several patch dogs. loved them and gifted them. corners with 3,4,5 pieces to attach are still kind of a mess for me. i've also flattened patch to 2D and added him to baby quilts. this tutorial was also my introduction to you, Kate. very grateful for that!

I’ve heard about paper piecing for years but just now watched your method, looks easy enough.

My mother left me many tins filled with various sewing supplies. One contained squares of 1960s fabrics and a scrap of paper with your dog pattern sketched out. The resulting dog would be larger than yours but I have seen much smaller dogs at craft shows. 🐕 Thank you for your videos ❤️.

I have just inherited two half finished hexagon EPP quilts, one was a strangers but one was my nan’s that she was working on just before she died and I was a few months old. I’m obsessed with the paper templates as they are Christmas cards from 1984 and I can recognise who they are from which is so touching. There is also some pension statements from the 1970s 😂

I’m so glad you are doing this series! I’m going to get started today♥️

This is wonderful, I need a gift for a young child, so I am getting my supplies out...thank you! Dale from Canada

Years ago I pieces a queen sized 1" hexagon quilt prior to learning of EPP. I know how how but find it quite labor intensive. It's my movie activity at the moment. The first quilt I pieced while my babies took naps, years ago. I also have a hexagon quilt in bright solids my mother's greatgranny made years & years ago....as mom is 80 now. It was unquilted so I finished it. Hard quilting as it was made from clothing scraps. Not beautiful quilt, but interesting! Thanks for all the videos!

My favourite EPP. Love doing this and your little dog is a great progect. Xxx

Thank you. This is a great and clear explanation. I love to hear the history behind processes. This will also give me another use for scrap material. I have recently been making quilted Christmas ornaments. Love the dog "Patches".

I quilt and call the squares, hexagons etc. I use, which are all the same size, simply patchwork or quilting pieces. All the patchwork items I make be it quilts, pillows, wearable art, are washable. Which is why I prewash all fabric so a completed piece can then be washed with no fear of shrinkage.. Also love my Fiskars Square Acrylic Ruler.

I’ve watched this video soo many times! I learn something each time 💕

Thus looks fun and I’m going to give it a go 🤗As I’m watching this the snow keeps falling . It’ll will be another weekend of shoveling so this project definitely will make me glad to be snowed in. Thank you so much Kate❣️❣️❣️

in the middle of quilting a quilt by machine but still hand patchwork with English paper piecing in the evenings I feel like hand sewing, made a few of these dogs too :) they are so cute and easy to do thank you, Kate, have a lovely week, x

Oh yes. This is awesome. I learned patchwork from my teacher Mrs Scherpenzeel. ( try to pronounce that when you're not dutch 😉😂) I was I think 9 years old. We made a ball with hexagon shaped pieces. I still have that ball somewhere. I saw some fabric samples at a shop yesterday for €1.50 a piece but never took the time to look and buy. Was too busy with doing things for my sister. I will check next Friday if they still have that box of samples because this is something I know how to do and like to do. So a big yes for more videos of this. ❤xxxx

Oh my goodness! When I was a baby, an elderly neighbor made me this very same dog pillow! I still have it and I will soon be 59. I used that dog as a pillow for many years as a child. The dog's name was (and still is) "Doggy". I will have to make one as well! Thank you!

I've been saying I want to get back into making things and being creative for years and well, I haven't. So, while I watched this a few days ago, I finally got off my rear end today and got supplies and will be making two of these as gifts for friends with new babies. Thank you for the inspiration and I'm excited to follow along. Xx

Thank you so much. I'm new in paper quilting, greetings from Mexico city. I will follow yr videos, thanks a lot.

Well I love learning new things. So grabbed a few scraps and using a hexagon - sigh- shape template. Well it was a bit of a fuss at first plus I used too much fabric but it’s got me hooked. I’m not tackling the dog but having fun. Thanks Kate for adding to my hobbies.

I'm new to your channel and am loving all the wonderful ideas and imagination you share so generously. You bring a little extra sunshine to the day. I'm looking forward to trying EPP with my fabric scraps now.

I just discovered your channel and I adore you!!! I am new to EPP but have fallen in love with the process! Oh yeah and I am American living in Texas 😉

I so love the idea of this, saving all the bits and bobs to make something special. And I'm intrigued by the indigo dying! I've just done some coffee and tea dyed cross stitch fabric and loved experimenting! I love Agnes' quilt!

Wow...you are such a wealth of information and instruction! What a great process. Thanks, Kate!

Wonderful! Yes, count me in. I’d love to sew along with you. EPP is so relaxing. I’ll probably cut 2.5” squares b/c I have a Sizzix die that size - easy peasy and I’m being lazy. Hope the cats don’t mind we’re making dogs! I’ll share this vid and idea with a few friends and see if they want to join us. Fun!! ❤️

You have inspired me to have a go! Using my scraps to make a quilt for my grand-daughter.....a bit ambitious maybe? Loving sitting quiet in front of the telly on a rainy day hand stitching squares together!

Hi, I teach many forms of quilting in the states including English paper piecing. I was delighted to learn of a new way! I always thought there was only two types of EPP. Hexagon and diamonds. Im def gonna follow along and make that cute dog. Can use it as a sample for my students. Thanks for broadening my knowledge of BPP. Should be fun!! I, too am a childrens storyteller. Love to see their expressions while reading. Im in process if writing a couple of childrens books as well and also love childrens books. Guess we have a couple of things in common. Including loving color.🤗🤗🤗

Wow, this took me back to my childhood, I was taught to do this in my needlework classes,I made a patch work quilt using hexagons. Such a shame that this type of needlework is no longer taught in classes, the paper templates, the cardboard circles to make pom-poms, the big piece of Aida type material teaching us all the different stitches and the 1st piece of knitting was a dish cloth 😂, thank you Kate for the wonderful memories & I will definitely be following this as once I have finished making my Pom Pom rug I will be making one of your dogs. Ps I think you should of called yours Liberty after the fabric you used. 🤗 xxx

Just found this and love it. Thank you for sharing, I will be making this dog... Bitzy!!

I have very little skill or talent for sewing and crafts, but I also have a little too much time on my hands these days. Now that I recently finished a mostly successful crochet project which gave me some confidence, I am wondering if I could use this English paper piecing to make a round pillow. I am envisioning something exactly like your dog, but round instead of dog-shaped, to be used as a decorative throw pillow on my bed. If any of you with skill and talent can tell if that is a reasonable goal (and does not require a sewing machine), I would appreciate it. I look forward to the rest of this mini-series. I am fairly new to this channel, and quite enchanted by it.

This is awesome!!! I have been trying to learn this because its an on the go way to sew and that's easier for me and so soothing, you do up a bunch and put them in a bag to take along with you for wgen you have time!!! This is a very helpful video, thank you for doing it...and the patchwork dog is ADORABLE!!!I want one!!! ❤❤

Great Idea, I am going to follow you. I did paper piecing before and in order to cut the paper I used a punch to make 1 inch hexis faster. Thanks for your videos. I follow you for several months so far because your original conversations and ideas..

I have just started my first dog!!! Excited to see how it goes. I wish we could all share ours with each other.

How fascinating! I know people who quilt but it always seemed so much more difficult, I want to try this project, Thank You

That’s really motivating me to get started. Thanks.

I'm new to quilting and I'm fascinated about English Paper Piecing, I've just found you,

I’ll pass on the hexagons, your wee dug looks smashing , I’ll have a go at that , thankyou. I wish we were neibours

I have always liked your opening, but this new opening with the pond wow.

I've never seen this done before, never even heard of it. Looking forward to the next installment

I watched this video 3 weeks ago. Then I fell down the well and landed in Paper Piecing World. I’m covered in 11/2” hexagons and gorgeous Liberty fabric. It’s such an addictive craft. I’m really loving it. So thank you Kate for teaching me. I’m going to tackle the dog soon also. I have 2 wee white dogs so that will be my next paper piecing. I thought I’d put a soft collar on them for colour. I could use my liberty fabric leftovers.

I like your new intro and "outro" very much, Kate. I've never done patchwork before but I think I'll try it. Great job, I love this little dog. Thanks for sharing so many interesting things. 🤩🙏I missed Norma in this video 🐱

Very informative and easy to understand for those who are just learning.

I use plastic templates, double stick sticky tape, or a loop of normal sticky tape to hold the papers on them and really sharp scissors. Card paper for photocopier printers is a good weight, cereal boxes etc work too. Meredithe Clark from Matilda's own ruler company, did a video for an aussie quilt mag, ages ago, showing how to not go through the paper sewing the papers in. The tacking stays in, you just flick the papers out and re-use them. A tiny hole in the paper to pick them out with helps.

That dog will be so cute with her matching quilt! I hope you get a photo at the end.

Ahhh! I've got everything but fabric scraps...maybe I need to rummage around in my mother's sewing room!

You have no idea the gift you have just given me with this post. Our quilt group supports the local foster children agency with bags so the children have something to put their belongings in to go to new home instead of grocery bags. We fill the bags with little quilts or new clothing. I make little animal dolls to go with my quilts. This is better than any pattern. Ever. And something to hand sew while listening to you read so you are involved. I bet I will get some in my group involved. Give us a name.

Kate, I have watched a few of your EPP videos and would love to try it. I can imagine sitting in the livingroom in the evenings with my hubby doing hand sewing. Machine sewing is rather a solitary pursuit! I have so many questions for you... but... let me start by asking about your die cutting machine. Can it be purchased in the US? If so, what features do you find important? Do I need to purchase extra accessories? I would like to make 2" hexies... do they have dies for that? Questions, questions ... oh how I would love to actually meet up with you for some lessons! Looking forward to hearing from you! Joanne ;)

Hallo Kate....what a lovely project..look your video`s on fabric sewing patchtwork and quilting again.....my scrappie dog is coming along fine..it looks a bit like yours here.....got a lot more to do and will show you when i am finished…..thank you for the great tutorial...xo

Kate, I didn't know anything about this. That this is English Paper Piecing. I almost wasn't going to watch, but, I'm glad that I did. I am going to have to mull this one over. I think I might like to try it. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy the day! Catherine

Certainly seems easy enough. Looks like fun! TFS the inspiration!

You can make it in various weights and textures for a fiddle toy for the blind. I made one like that for a blind autistic woman. She was severely autistic and she spent hours stroking and fiddling with the dog. That one was just hand pieced. No papers. The goal was to have different textures. For finger stimulation.

Your dog is a pink calico with blue spots breed!! Lol beautiful!!

Great video..done paper pieced quilts..never a dog!!

I actually made it all the way through the grocery and to the checkout line before I realized I still had my thimble on.

Got an Imbolc birthday gift today and I am posting a video about it! Thank you so much my friend. Lots of love to you! =)

Hello Kate, I've just bingewatched all your videos regarding EPP, I was particularly interested as I'm learning this in a zoom group currently, and LOVING it. Your comments regarding the accuracy needed for precise templates couldn't have been better timed.....because much of the zoom group is chatting , I was only half concentrating on cutting the templates with scissors, so ended up with some being slightly wonky. I didn't realise until I'd made 150 (all with fabric tacked on), so I think my quilt will be slightly wobbly wobbly, but still living the process. I can't bear the thought of instituting them all 🙈. I know now for next time. Thank you so much for your beautiful videos, I listen and watch whilst sewing, it feels like I have a friend/sister/mum rolled into one. Thank you xxx 💝

Somebody gave me a dog pillow just like this, way back in the 60s. It was made from the polyester double knits that were popular back then, so probably made on the machine. I think it was still usuable when our girls were small, but I also think one of our pups thought it was her chew toy.🤫😏

Thank you for this video. I will definitely make one along side with you.

Lovely share.

I really like this. Just may give it a try. I am currently hand quilting. Thank you.

How adorable!

Very informative..thank you xx

Ooh! I’m going to make one of these for my Grandson who’s birthday is coming up just after the first of the year. I have just found EPP and have been playing around with it over the pandemic stay at home time for us here in California.

I just love your videos! I You involve us in everything you do.

Fabulous Kate can’t wait for next instalment I’m going to join in very timely as I have recently dropped my beloved sewing machine and am distraught as I’m sure you can imagine x

I have a crochet project on the go right now, but I'm going to file this series for a later date (all of my sewing stuff is in another province at present! LOL). Thanks so much for the tutorial. I just love your channel Kate!

You have to make a cat pillow, seriously 😊 There's plenty of cat ideas on youtube for inspiration.

Kate you are a very good teacher.

❤️ the patchwork Patch‼️

Thank you SO MUCH for teaching this😍💙

LOVE it!! I am going to get things lined up to do it....I was feeling a bit at a loss after Christmas because I finished a small cross stitch project and I have been missing the handwork I enjoy when I watch tv (it makes me feel less guilty! ha). These will be fun!!

Thank you for this series!

Neave seen it before but heard of it as I grow up in from Northern Ireland lived inow n Canada! Looks very inresting would love to try it though! Thank you for sharing enjoying your video's God Bless Liz...

Thank you Kate❤

Hi Kate I just found your channel and have been going over many of the videos. I love chickens and plan on getting six this spring. I live in Wyoming and need to build a hen house and run. In one video your mentioned a series on hens I hope you do that. Loving all your videos,we have so many of the same interests you are far ahead of me in pottery though lol thank you for sharing all your wonderful knowledge. Sue J from Wyoming

I am going to watch you do the process and THEN possibly give this a try. I have a 14 month old little boy in mind for a gift...Also, tomorrow is soup making day and will be making your soup!

Your table is fabulous!

Virgin stitcher here but I think I’ll join you. Perhaps I’ll make a simple rectangular pillow for my first try? Thanks for brightening my day once again Kate.

My Grandmother always wore a thimble. When she was teaching me, she tried to teach me how to use one but I have large fingers (man hands) and thimbles do not fit me well so I never mastered the use of that little booger! Miss my Grandmother everyday although she has been gone for 45 years. I do still have her in the skills she taught me.

Hummm, I'm a dog nut, and I've been meaning to give English paper piecing a try. This might be the perfect starter project.

I've been doing this for years and didn't know it was called this x

J’adore vos vidéos ❤️👍👍👍👍Sherley fromage Quebec 😉

Just the inspiration I needed for the Liberty scraps I've been hoarding! I haven't sewn with Liberty yet. I love the way it feels. I'll have to figure out how to make a cat. :) But first, I've another project finish this weekend. You and the cats stay warm. How is Rocky?

HOWDY 💜🇺🇸👩‍🎤 THIS IS A FABULOUS THING TO DO ..... HAVING A PROJECT THAT YOUR VIEWERS CAN FOLLOW AND MAKE ALONG WITH YOU ...... EXCELLENT. AND YOUR EXPLANATION ARE CLEAT AND EASY TO FOLLOW. SIGNING off Scott's wife Vickie

I wear a Clover brand thimble(just so much like yours) and mine's pink(medium). Friends, many Wal-Marts carry..Online, see Clover brand thimble, seam rippers(ergo). Anyway just in case you want a thimble like Kate's... xo

Neat! This is interesting. I would still like for you to read another book. It's your time and channel so whatever works for you!😊

My medium size(pink like yours) is Clover...i got it at Wal-Mart but can also get on eBay at Sharpe Sewing. :) I can't sew without my thimble!

Love your dog

Hello Kate! I've just gotten a Big Shot Sizzix machine (much because of you thx) and some dies. One set is of what they call "thinlets" much smaller than a Bigz die but I also got 2 bigz dies for hexagons. I want the star next. My question is if I use Liberty fabrics, or any fabric really, for this dog would you suggest using a thin fusible at the last to make it a bit stronger for a toddler? I have chosen a jelly roll in pastels for this dog because my husband likes it best but the baby can have more than one right? I did find a pattern they call it a "flatty dog". It has a mom and dad also 2 baby dogs. Very sweet. Anyway I am just wondering about a thin fusible interfacing for extra strength? Have you ever used it for these dogs or what you feel about it. Thanks so much! Hope you are enjoying yourself. We had snow ❄️😊💕

Like, like, like!😍💙👏
