Yay, finally, I can see the information! Haha. I got this email yesterday but the link would not work, it was seemed to be missing and i am soooo excited about EPP! I was told this is how most people start out quilting, but i must have missed that memo, i never tried it. I am excited to try it 🙂
So cute. Sounds like great fun. I'm going to participate!

I love the 7th grade quilt.
My favorite is the 6th grade quilt.
This book looks amazing and since I work in the education system it means much more to me!! My favourite quilt is Grade 2, but they are all beautiful!!!
All are lovely my first quilt would be the 11th grade. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love the fabric in this quilt! EPP looks like fun.
It looks like the pointed star template isn't available yet. Will it ship before the sew along begins?
I like 12th grade

(I think my comment didn't go through, I hope I'm not sending it twice). I'm anxious to start on this. I had ordered the EPP kit about a month ago, and have been playing around with the Hexagons. Now I'm ready to start on this beautiful mini quilt. However, I will be using a different Charm Pack – Aloha Girl by Fig Tree Quilts, mainly because I've been holding on to these 2 packs while waiting to use them for the perfect project, and this little quit IS IT! Can't wait to start.
That star is gorgeous! I really love the fabrics, too!
My favorite is the seventh grade quilt.
I like the 11th grade quilt. carolann427@aol.com
All the quilts are adorable, but I am drawn to the Third Grade quilt. Love me a good Churn Dash block!
Love the 3rd grade quilt! Thank you for the opportunity to win such a fabulous giveaway. The book looks wonderful!

I've been working on hexies but I think I'm going to join in on this sew along. I'm sure I have a charm pack somewhere!
Do you have to have an instagram account to participate?
Woohoo! I got my EPP kit just in time! Love trying this ! New to me!
This looks like a fun sew-along, but have you ladies at FQS ever heard of "Inklingo"? It seems like a better way to achieve EPP designs with hand-piecing of pre-printed EPP shapes, but without the fuss of templates and the sometimes unsightliness of the uneven hand-sewing at the joins. Now I really need to get myself a printer before I can try it, but you really don't need fancy equipment, just freezer paper and a regular colour printer. Might be worth investigating…
