Here it is

The paper piecing - table set

Now don't you look too intensively at the bottom left corner - yes

here real patchwork is speaking - I had to mend something here.

And probably it was late in the evening. The stitches are too coarse

and a few less than 7.

I will make it better - some day.

but - handquilted

This is my new project

squares - mounted by hand - again by hand - yes I need work

for the couch.

I learnt from Jude Hill to baste the squares with nearly invisible stitches

which were pressed beforehand over a piece of cardboard.

My centers will be filled with TAST (Take a Stitch Tuesday) stitches

instead of making another stitchbook. This is meant to end up on

one of my walls ---

First the walk and then the UFO

Its in our park in Karlsruhe
 

They are waiting for pieces of bread - walkers-by feed them

We love this walk from our parking lot to the town
No parking fees!! And fresh air. And we arrive in the
very center.
 

EPP - I started 10 months ago and lost interest

I got a new idea and am going to finish a piec much

smaller - and useful - a table set again. I am cutting

the squares which are needed to join the alongated

hexagons

Commercial cottons bought over the years -

impossible colours! Sometimes they are useful

for backings. I like more my homedyed ones.

A look with the camera through my magnifying lamp.

And "slow stitching" ......
