I did a poll to see who wanted to learn or wanted to reboot their hand piecing skills. I want a project to take on the trips that is not applique.
I had been thinking about doing a hand piecing take along and my buddy Carolyn Forster's book came my way before I had her on my podcast (LISTEN HERE). I do think the moon & star align so we get information JUST when we need it!
Since I've always wanted to do an apple core quilt and a tumbler, I have both templates.
The tumbler in that size lets me get 4 from a charm pack.. sweet! And I am going to do the applique core with the Pepper & Flax and find other things to add in later.
I took a bunch of each to experiment with on my trip and when I'm back I'll do a Facebook live and talk about hand piecing.
Eventually I'm going to use blocks from Carolyn's book, one of the fancier ones in repeat. First is to do some easy tumblers & apple cores.
