English paper piecing has taken over my life. I can't do anything without wondering if and how much it will cut into my hexie time. Since February of this year there have been maybe 10 days where I haven't touched them. I still have a looooong way to go before my quilt top is finished. It's a scrappy with no pattern and I'm thinking of embroidering on some of the hexies. Not in a pattern or any order. Just picking random "squares" and embellishing them with French knots, dates like started and finished, sequins, beads, stitching. I'll be handquilting it with perle cotton 8.
I had only pieced 200 back in March and a lady from church wanted to do it. Fast forward to Thanksgiving and she said expressed again that she wanted me to teach her. I'll be doing that in December sometime.
I've taught one class of one student at Sew Main Street in Woodstock, GA. She is now totally addicted. I've got another class scheduled for Tues. December 4.
