New adventures in paper piecing

We are back online after 3 days without power! Anchorage had a major windstorm on Tuesday night that caused a lot of damage around town. It's amazing how a storm can unexpectedly turn things upside down. Luckily we had no major damage at our house, although many of our neighbors lost trees.

I was back at my machine this morning to finish up my June block for the cocorico bee. This is for Amy, who asked for blocks with an art studio theme. I chose to do an artist's drawing mannequin. It's a bit awkward, and been said to resemble C3PO if sewn in gold lamé (thanks Krista). But I'm glad I was able to tackle it.



Last week I also completed a much overdue block (due in April!) for Charise. She asked for houses with a Victorian style. I was able to fussy cut fabrics to add more detail. I feel like I'm finally starting to get this paper piecing stuff!



I hope you're having a great weekend! Back to the sewing room. I've got some catching up to do.
