I've been feeling an itch to do some EPP (English paper piecing) recently, so I finally got scratching!
I used my 1.25" Sizzix die to cut the papers, unearthed my few precious Liberty scraps and spent a relaxing Sunday afternoon doing this!
I'm mixing in some of this denim blue chambray stuff (not exactly sure what it is!!) and will eventually turn this into a cushion.
I can credit 2 sources of inspiration for this idea! 1. Rita's lovely Liberty and chambray combo and my daughter, who made this gorgeous EPP cushion recently!
At the moment this is a non-work project, something for me to do 'away from the office'! But you never know, it might make it's way into a class one day!
And I picked up M&D's anniversary quilt from the Long Armer this week! Oh my! I went weak at the knees. As usual I can only give you a glimpse at the moment!
Can't wait to show you the full quilt! It's pretty cool!
