A Little Bit of an Improvement

 
My passion for English Paper Piecing has officially been renewed.
 
 
I love laying out all the little pieces.
 
 
Stitching them together.
 
 
Basting them up.
 
 
And arranging them....
although I am trying so very hard to be randomly spontaneous in the process,
not my strong point to say the least!
 
 
Bit by bit  I can see a new table runner coming together.
 
 
The one thing I wasn't in love with. however, was my choice of sewing supply storage.
 
 
 
Then, this past weekend, I popped in to a road side farm sale
and found this little treasure.
 
 
Later in the day, a nearby quilt store restocked my supply of cheery fabrics
for a new Pick-a-Lily.
While they looked cute enough in my new little drawer.....
 
 
...these goodies proved a much better fit.
 
 
A sweet row of color,
 
 
a tidy tuck away drawer,
 
 
and ample space for a mini fabric stash,
 
 
makes this English Paper Piecer very happy indeed!

  1. I am inspired! Natalie Jo, you do it every time:)
    I found the little papers in Vermont, last fall, at the loveliest little quilt shop.
    One of these days…maybe in the winter time, when all has slowed down…I will begin..
    much love,
