A beautiful life ..............

I'm not sure how long this WIP has been going but finally I have the top finished ready for planning how to quilt.  I think Paris is always pleased when I have  a top on the floor for her to walk or lie over.

The stitcheries in this quilt by Helen Stubbings was the best part of making this quilt. It was carthartic and good for the soul with lots of  meaning within each stitchery. 

It's good to be back blogging my journey of my quilting life. 
Happy stitching and hope you all have a good week.

EPP for fun

I started some paper piecing fun 2 years ago while holidaying and finally got back to it again this year.  I still have a lot more to do but it’s looking like a central medallion now.
EPP IS VERY ADDICTIVE which I am sure a lot of you already have become hooked.  When I first learnt this technique in the 1980’s there was not the choice of fabrics that we have now. Here is a photo of what I started at least 30 years ago made with polyester cotton  and some cottons I bought from America.  So different to what I have reposted below this.
And now 30 years later I'm still EPP making but I do like this better .....

At this stage I think this will be a central medallion for a quilt it's another WIP. ....

Have a great week achieving your stitching goals ..
