Paper Piecing
This page will contain some of the many paper pieced projects I have completed.
I love to sew but my true love is paper piecing quilts. I have made many wall hangings using this technique. It is so easy and relaxing, there's nothing like a quiet evening spent in my sewing room, creating a country landscape or a bird in flight. These are everyday images that stay with me always once I have woven the fabric together into a reminder of a once glimpsed scene. Quilting is a breeze when you paper piece. Many patterns can be obtained free on the Internet along with step by step instructions on paper piecing also drafting and designing patterns. at these two quilting sites.
These two stars are just a few that I completed for my year 2000 quilt.
I was going to name it "Y2K Shoot for the Stars".

They have projects that are simple and quick, to the challenging. Everything from the traditional star, seasonal projects for the holidays and landscapes that are pleasing to the eye. Please excuse me, I seem to be rambling on, but I have spent many hours with this my newest pastime.
