It's Friday's Paper Piecing Link Up with Quiet Play

*

It's Friday and that means it's time to link up

to QUIET PLAY'S PAPER PIECING PARTY !

*

Last week I was in the midst of piecing together the 

TARDIS for the Dr. Who QAL with Whims and Fancies .

Well I managed to complete the block in record time (for me)

*

From this...

*

To this!

*

*

Don't you love the way it's hurdling through the time space continuim?

*

*

Just for good measure and since I was in the zone,

even though this is late,  

my 

And Sew On BoM!

I'm still having a problem with matching up some angles.

*

Thank you Kristy for this fun opportunity to "play".

Pop on over to Quiet Play and see what the rest of the group is up to or better yet, join us!

Until next Friday (or sooner),

HAPPY STITCHING  :)

PAPER PIECING PARTY HAPPENING...YEAH

*

Kristy @ Quiet Play

is having a party and you're all invited to join the fun!

It doesn't matter where your skill levels are in the world of

paper piecing (pp) for this party! We're all here to share our love of this

sewing technique.

Kristy is the Grand Mistress of pp designs!

*

This is what I've been stitching away at, slowly, over the past couple of weeks.

The "TARDIS" block from Whims and Fancies  "Doctor Who QAL".

I know it doesn't look like much right now, but give me a few more nights like

this evening and I should have this block finished and on to the next in this wonderful series,

the "TIME LORD"!

*

If you've been toying with the idea of pp, try it! You might just find out that you like it!

If you need more good reasons to try pp, check out Kristy's remarkable patterns

I'm lovin' the "RETRO KITCHEN" patterns ;)

HAPPY PAPER PIECING :)

Fabric & Gadgets

*

I received my gorgeous giveaway win from

Michele @ Quilts from My Crayon Box today!

*

This gadget is the Dritz Super Seamer. 

It should come in handy for marking 1/4" stitching lines when I hand quilt

and also for paper piecing. I love gadgets and tools :) you should see me in Home Depot!

*

*

Now if I could just find 5 minutes to get to my machine without any more

"excitement" in my life.

*

It's For the Birds Blog Hop

*

Many Thanks to  Mary, our feathered leader

and Madame Samm our fearless coordinator!

This has been yet another fun hop and spring arrived here just in time.

This Hop must have been the kick in the pants it needed!

*

With so much on the go these days I don't know how I managed to get my project completed

ahead of time! I enjoy paper piecing and have found it my go to option for quite a few projects 

with deadlines.

This little fellow is strictly 

"For The Birds"!

*

*

This pillow cover has a zipper back and at the moment is perched on our bed,

just to remind us that spring was eminent, eventually.

*

*

Fly on over to the rest of the "hoppers" to see what 

ruffles their feathers!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

*

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

*

See you back here Monday, the 13th, for my turn in the

"IT'S FOR THE BIRDS"  Blog Hop

*

DOCTOR.WHO.ALONG

*

*

Whims and Fancies is hosting this fun SAL and the first block is the 

TARDIS!

*

My oldest has just discovered this long running program and is stoked.

I was perusing around this evening and low and behold look at what I came across,

I couldn't believe it.

*

*

Dr.Who, K-9, Romana, the Daleks and Davros.

This is going to be an interesting adventure in paper piecing that's for sure.

*

HAPPY STITCHING  :)                                  

Remember When I Was...

*

?

Some of you gave some great guesses as to why I was dancing 

but

 Kate hit the nail on the head!

*

It's all because of this:

Mill House Inn is fin!

*

*

Yes, indeed.

*

*

Over 5 years of taunting me, finished!

*

*

It was one of those quilts that I just kept stalling through the entire process.

I couldn't take it anymore and last week had had enough.

I loaded up my bobbin with Aurifil for the very first time and quilted.

I love Aurifil thread, my machine loves Aurifil thread.

This is one happy camper 

(even though I secretly hate camping but with 4 kids...you know how it is)

*

*

A toss in the wash and this bad girl is going on our bed!

*

*

HAPPY STITCHING  :)

Remember Tippi Hedren ?

*

Isn't she gorgeous?

*

My day is lucky May 13th!

*

Keep your eye on the sky,

or at the very least watch your reader,

it might be safer (if you know what I mean)!

*

*

How Come I'm...

*

*

Can you guess why?
