With the girls, Megan and Lily, here during the week now, so Meg can finish in her current school, I find there is little "me time". Lily is now at the 'ask a bajillion questions' stage in her 3rd year. I like to talk to myself when I am creating, and prefer to answer my own questions, not hers. But...there is something I can do with them here...tear fabric and make new cloths. Seems Lily isn't that interested in it.
I haven't finished MoonPath yet, only because I don't know where to go with it yet. So I started a green piece....which leads me to spring time and SUN....
...and chairs under umbrellas....this chair is one of my first adventures into Paper Piecing design. This one is a mess! I have the blue ocean showing between the 'slats' in the chair, but the sand is all I have AROUND the chair. Sheesh.
The back of the piece, before I picked out all the bits and bits of paper. I love this part of paper piecing!
Oh...this is the bright green thread I am using to tack down the greens. I am leaving the stitches bold this time.
After about a nano second of thought, I cut the chair block down a bit.
And dug out scraps for sun, sky, mountains and decking, for above and below the green landscape.
Now I need to tear up the scraps! Oh...and that circle of moon? Not sure if that will stay. It waits.
i like your little chair and umbrella that were paper pieced. i don't have the patience for paper piecing.
ReplyDeletedeanna...i like the paper piecing because i can get sharp points...otherwise all my stars were stunted!
