Been Collecting Pinks

I'm donating one of these for our guild’s silent auction next fall.

Just Because II

I don’t have the patience or eye hand coordination for hand work anymore, hence the cop out on appliquéing by machine with nylon see through thread. Hey, it works, it’s fast. Never mind that it really plays havoc with my machine’s tension.

Which is why I voted for Obama over Hillary.

This was done with that handy dandy new technique I picked up at one of our guild meetings. Paper Piecing with freezer paper and an iron. Rather than sewing through the paper and distorting your stitches when you pull them out, just fold freezer paper back and sew near the fold. Works like a charm, but I still think all paper piecing is a pain the you know where.
