English Paper Piecing......Class Offering



20 years ago I discovered English Paper Piecing...






It is the art of using paper to give shape to fabric...


Hexagons, Diamonds, Dresden Plates.....and more!




This is a class sample I started this weekend:


Dresden Basket






It is so relaxing to put your feet up in the evening and stitch by hand






I also take these along on car, train and airplane trips and stitch along.






English Paper Piecing requires only a few tools....






Everything fits in a Ziploc and travels along with you!

  1. I'm about ready to start on some tiny hexies. Wish you were closer to the midwest!

    P.S. Love Gunnr's personality. Always makes me smile!

  2. I have never been a fan of EPP, but power to you! I just have one tiny suggestion to amp up the style factor while carrying a hand stitching project around - I use cigar boxes. They're sturdy, not see through, pretty hard to break, and your pins won't have a chance to stick through a plastic bag at inopportune moments. Plus, you can mod podge some scraps to the outside for a personal style burst.
