Okay, if yesterday was
faking it then today had to be me proving (to myself) that if I wanted to I really could do - sort of, maybe - paper piecing if I put my mind to it. It has been another sunny hot day so I went with the obvious choice. Ice cream.

If I was doing this completely wrong,
just let me pretend that I got it right - thanks. |
 |
| Proof that I still had the paper in position well into sewing the block. |
 |
| And the resulting raspberry ripple ice cream. |
The other thing on the agenda today involved one fat quarter and one person who left a comment on my
post two days ago. I skipped all the technical crap and did it my way this time.

| Names on paper. |
 |
| Folded. |
 |
| One grubby hat. |
 |
| Names in hat. |
 |
| Willing child. |
 |
| Hand in hat. |
 |
| Winner! |
I get confused about the different types of piecing! I like the sort in the new york beauty QAL.
I would make a jacket for my cafetiere, and mini jackets (and hats?!) for my tea caddies!
I'll be emailing you for your address and then the FQ will be making its way to you soon after. Congratulations. Thanks for offering up your idea.
Since a large part of my day was spent sorting through piles of paper and assorted crap I am now going to go pour myself a large glass of wine and enjoy some pasta with the girls.

Funny, pasta and wine is exactly what I'm doing!
ReplyDeleteIcecream looks fabulous. I'm sure your just pretending you don't know what your doing.
Big star for the ice cream cone! And congrats to Miss Beau. I sort of like the old fashioned way better, grubby hat and all. Enjoy the dinner and wine.
