last weekend, there was a break from routine and I got to participate at a wonderful hand-sewing, english paper piecing course at Peekaa. Which means, now I officially know how to paper-piece :D
Jokes aside, as always, there were so many "Aha!"-moments, which makes me wondering why I keep on struggling alone. Also... what made me handbaste, when there are these wonderful glue-basting-sticks available.
Cutting out thick paper templates. Pencil for scale. Gluebasting the fabric around the templates.
The center piece: yellow star and turquoise borders.
Whipstiching along. More then once did we establish that I am SLOW.... Slowly but surely the ring of pentagons gets assembles. Slowly.
We ended the course with the first of ten tiny starts. Pen for scale!
So fun.
All in all, I loved the challenge and I loved the newly learned techniques. Will it become a while quilt? Questionable. But I will continue for a while. Not that I would need more started projects...
