Playing

I have sewing to do. Not least of it the hexie quilt to get finished by its deadline. But it was such a lovely - and relatively lazy - day today that I decided to pick up a project I started a little while ago. My Sunrise/Sunset mini. I cut out the next section, did the fabric pull, ironed on the freezer paper pieces, cut and then got sewing.

 It took me about an hour to do the actual piecing. Less time than I would have guessed if anyone had asked me beforehand. It really isn't difficult this freezer paper piecing lark.

I added on the smaller section I had pieced weeks ago and here is what it looks like now.


Just about at the halfway mark. Yay!

  1. Wow, it looks amazing, Susan! My mind is boggling just looking at it though, I'm sure I would get in a terrible muddle with all those little pieces! Rx

  9. that is awesome! as you pieced it in an hour, can I assume it was done on the machine?

    I wanted to email you but the address that came up on my email didn't look right so apologies for the less-personal message. I received my lovely gnome pincushion this weekend and he is beautiful! Thank you so much for your generosity, he will be treasured and will NEVER have a pin stuck in him. Promise. x
