April 2017 - English paper piecing (EPP)

This month we continued with English paper piecing (EPP). Many of our members like to have some hand sewing on the go, as it is often portable as small sections. even when making a sizeable quilt. Nearly everyone at this months meeting was working on a piece of EPP, some of which are being made into a group quilt  for charity - Project Linus.

Hexagons in various sizes were the most popular.

Monochrome quilt

Flower basket stash buster, probably not at 1/2 inch

Group efforts

Assembling with unbleached calico as background





Size variations - 1/2 inch to 3 inch hexagons 


Other members are trying diamonds.



 For a bit of variety we had a Linus quilt made from squares taking shape,



and some finishing of projects started on a recent cruise.

Fabric bead necklace and earring holder

Once again the 2 hours flew by as we stitched and chatted.
