Paper Piecing Party

Paper Piecing is so cool! I know I've mentioned it before, but with this free class coming up on it (April 20th) I thought I'd put in another shameless plug.

Thanks Sonja Calaghan!!!

I found this pattern online for free. Now that I know how to do it, I've even played around a bit with making my own designs. I'm still working out the kinks. The free class will have a pattern of a heart, but after you learn the fundamentals, you can go crazy!! I find it exciting to have a project finished in an hour or so that actually looks like something!

My world has exploded! I've very recently discovered paper piecing and OH MY GOODNESS! I'm amazed at the intricacy and accuracy of it all! I learned the basics at my little church quilt group and when I got home I looked up free patterns online to practice on. WOWZA! My new favorite sites are:

(animals, objects, people, symbols and so much more)

(This is for geeks like me…aka Harry Potter, Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings)

(Nature, Stars, Holiday Designs and more)

This is my first one. I may have goofed and forgot the stem......

I spent one evening just downloading free patterns. These designers are ridiculously AWESOME! I hope I can get good enough to make a few designs of my own someday.
