EPP @ AQSG

I was surprised to see how many of us at the American Quilt Study Group Seminar last fall in New Hampshire brought our paper piecing. During the three days of lectures many listeners pulled out their very portable projects.
I took some snapshots at the breaks
so I don't know whose little stashes of paper pieces
and fabrics these are.



I just found this video of how to do a "flat backstitch" method of joining
paper pieced shapes. I always face the pieces together to sew and the stitches show.
But in this method you secure them side by side with tape or a clip and stitch
from the back. No visible stitches.

Brilliant!


I tried it and it works wells.
The stitches do not show and it's
easier for me to figure out how to connect things if I don't have to
keep flipping the pieces over.



More AQSG projects

Some were small.
Some were larger.

I always have a hand work project to help me pay
attention to the speaker. 


I'm still working on this one----3/4 inch sides in William Morris repro prints.
