Finally, moving into my apartment…

While visiting my son and daughter-in-law in Texas I received a call from the manager of the senior apartment community which I will be calling home. The construction is complete and we can begin moving in!! I am so excited, I will be able to get my sewing supplies out of storage and begin making quilts! I have been working on a Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt. These are the two flowers I finished today. I’ll also be including yellow and pink flowers in my quilt. This quilt will be made entirely by hand.

EPP blocks from a class I took on Craftsy.

These are the blocks we made in class. I will be putting them together into a 9 block sampler. I modified some of the blocks because I didn’t like the original layouts. I had a lot of fun making these blocks.

If you’re looking for a good book on English Paper Piecing I highly recommend All Points Patchwork: English Paper Piecing beyond the Hexigon for Quilts and Small Projects.

English Paper Piecing

I have discovered a wonderful quilt piecing technique called English Paper Piecing (EPP). I had heard of this technique but never thought it would be something I’d be interested in doing. I started watching Kate on The Last Homely House . She is a wonderful, down-to-earth woman living in the north of England. After watching many of her EPP videos I couldn’t resist trying it. Now I am hooked.
