EPP Addiction, March part 2

 

Becky Wilson and Sandy Warren are working on Faith, Hope, and Love from Sue Daley.  Becky has most of her pieces done, and Sandy surprised us with the center done on hers.  Beautiful!

 

 

Before our March meeting, we asked new member Carol Elson if she needed help getting going after the Show and Tell.  Well, it turns out she doesn't!  Carol has been busy at work making our needle cases, and she's completed several!

 

Donna Spain is working on the 1930s quilt Chelsea from Sue Daley.  She's been enjoying seeing ours in progress.  Marilyn Cullen is working on hexies and making good progress on them.

 

Mary Moutschka is showing off part of the Lucy Boston block, but she's finished a lot more of them. Linda Snoke is making a larger quilt or table topper.  IT's alsays so fun to see a lot of progress made!

 

We laid out some works in progress so everyone could see the different 1/8" makes.  These are both starts of the center star from Stars in the Garden by Yellow Creek.  The smaller one is made from 1/8" hexies, and the larger one is made from 1/2" hexies.

Jo Ann Gates is working on hexies in beautiful Spring colors.  She also brought us a wool needlecase she had made so we can see how the chain stitch holds it all together.

 

As promised, here is LuAnn Krug's Dear Jane quilt.  Fantastic!

A new year of EPP

The January meeting of English paper piecing addiction hardly got off the ground because of icy weather and flooding in the quilt shop. For February people were really raring to go. It was an excited crowd and they were lots and lots of show and tells. Marlene Sowatzke brought two projects: the first one is tiny nine patches above, not English paper pieced.  Below, Marlene is showing her Just Takes Two quilt by Sue Daley.   It's getting closer to completion every month.

Andrea Gerdt is working on various Hexie projects using Christmas fabrics and fussy cuts.

Donna Spain has been working on Sue Daley's Chelsea quilt in beautiful 1930s fabrics and her Dresdens are about done. Jerry Pitts is fussy cutting a project and it's still a work in progress.

Bonnie Harlow has fallen in love with Stars in the Garden from our friends at Yellow Creek Designs.  She has everything really organized in her box and can work on it at a moments notice

Donna Nigh has completed her king size bed runner from Vicky Bellino's book English Paper Piecing.  She wondered sometimes if she would get it done but it was certainly worth the effort.

Becky Wilson and Sandy Warren are both working on the same project from Sue Daley, called Faith, Hope, and Love. Becky's is mostly bagged and ready to be sewn together but Sandy has made a lot of progress on her quilt.

Barbara Rettig enjoys English paper piecing, but her first love is wool embroidery.  She often shows us her wool projects, but she is also working on It Takes Two from Sue Daley, and she showed us the colors that she's using.
