Feeling the Love

Few words. Some photos. Happy with my progress. English paper piecing rocks. I couldn't decide if I should make 'X's or 'O's. I did both.


Then I tried to channel Leanne when I quilted the linen. Whoever would have thought it would take effort to concentrate and remember to go wonky? I machine appliquéd the lozenges to the linen after I did the quilting. Remind me that I am probably going to need bifocals if I keep this up.


And that is what I got done today. I think I shall spare you the laundry, tyre mending, crap to the tip, grocery shopping boring bit. Far more fun to look at paper piecing. Well, it is in my world at least.

    I am just imagining you in all those different scenarios now; laundry lady with apron, curlers and scarf on head; oily overalls whilst tyre mending; flinging crap on the tip and then spruced up yummy mummy trip to the store ;0)

    And while you are out, I will sneak and steal this item of utter gorgeousness! I am going to have to make me some of those lozenges now!

    I hate the tip, I always feel extra short there!

    Love the lozenges though, but you're right, they are a bit hard on my eyes - and my joints too (even though I'm only 26 not 76 as it sounds!)

    I am so glad I am not the only one who finds it harder to make the lines a bit wobbly. This is a lovely piece!

    Oooh really pretty. I think you should make a whole quilt with them.
    I never need to worry about quilting wonky, it comes naturally to me! ;(
