I've just clipped the last thread on a block slated for a blog hop hosted by Soma at Whims and Fancies. Here's a little sneak peek:
The only thing left to do is figure out how to format my hand-drafted design into a template to share without the use of software. Check back here Saturday for the completed block and free pattern. In the meantime, visit The Halloween Paper Pieced Blog Hop, which runs through October 31st, for the blocks shared so far.
There are a few other freezer paper foundation piecing blocks on my short-list. A photography-themed block, a classic British toy block, and a Viewmaster block are due (in some cases, overdue) to my Piece Bee With You beemates. The pattern for first two have been planned, but not drafted, and the third has been provided to the group.
Having only tried my hand at freezer paper and foundation paper-piecing, I'm excited to finally take a stab at EPP. Hexa-Go-Go has been collecting dust on my shelf the past few weeks while I scour the interwebs for tutorials and video how-to's. First up are EPP stars for the do. Good Stitches October block. Rachel was kind enough to provide printables for the 6-point stars. She also has a wonderful instructional video for those, such as myself, who may need help.
Just to give myself a little added pressure to learn English Paper Piecing, I've joined up with the Travellin-Pic Stitch Blog Hop hosted by Quokka Quilts and The Littlest Thistle. This blog hop runs the whole of October and November- check it out!

Ooh, interesting peek!
ReplyDeleteAs for the pattern, if you have a scanner, you can scan it in and convert to PDF then share on Google Docs (or whatever it's calling itself these days!). There's plenty of freebie PDF converters out there, PrimoPDF is the one I have at home I think
You obviously love the paper piecing! Very cool. Thanks for linking up to wip Wednesday last week where I had the pleasure of guest-hosting!
