ENGLISH PAPER PIECING (EPP)

May 20, 2016 pennylanequilts 10 Comments

Last night, while watching a wonderful MQG webinar featuring Anna Boenish, I was
reminded of the many benefits of English paper piecing.

First of all, it’s portable. I keep my kit ready to go and it’s the project that
I throw in my bag when I know I’ll have spare moments waiting for an
appointment, riding a ferry, watching a ball game or being a passenger on a road
trip.

Ready to go: paper pieces, fabric strips, scissors, thread, thread conditioner,
clips, needle book, thimble and a pouch by @sew_fantastic

Secondly, because you only need  a few materials and hardly any space, it’s
ideal for stitching in any location. Indoors or outdoors, you can literally use
this technique anywhere!

camping in Arizona

Another great benefit is that EPP, like other handwork, lets you be social and
visit with friends and family while still making headway on your project.



EPP is also a slow process. Now this could be seen as a benefit or a drawback,
but in my opinion, slowing down is often a good thing.

If you have a design that requires precise or intricate work, EPP is definitely
a way to accomplish this. It is also well suited to fussy cutting.

I had never really thought about it until I listened to Anna’s talk, but another
thing that appeals to me is that you can begin without a plan. In fact, some of
my traditional quilts were actually improvisational using this technique.

90’s, hand quilted and finished in 2011

I often make units and just keep putting them together until they morph into
something.

That’s how my current project is evolving. The template pieces for my epp plus
quilt were created by Mollie Johanson and she provides a free template and
tutorial on her blog Wild Olive. Check out  #eppplus on Instagram for photos of
folks using this pattern. You might even see pics of me basting in the truck
while heading over Snoqualmie Pass.

more plus units.

If you are interested in learning how to English paper piece, just do a search
of the topic. There are great resources and tutorials available.



And, if you’re a MQG member, but missed Anna’s webinar, log into the Community
section of their website. Under the Resources tab, you’ll find a list of all the
past webinars available. Just one of the perks of being a member! You can also
find her work, and the unique ways she uses English paper piecing on her
website Quilting Queerly or follow her on Instagram @quiltingqueerly.

IT’S BEEN AWHILE

May 4, 2016 pennylanequilts 7 Comments

After a long hiatus, I am working on this blog and intend to post more often!
Here are a few of my quilting adventures from the past eight months.

Last fall, the Bainbridge Island Modern Quilt Guild hosted their 3rd annual
Bainbridge Quilt Festival. This is a one day, outdoor show, which takes place on
the second Saturday in September  in downtown Bainbridge. The festival is a
celebration of quilts and quilters, and if you’re from our area consider joining
us this year!

2015 festival

In October, the North Olympic Fiber Arts Festival held their 10th annual
exhibition and three of my quilts were on display. The festival includes a Fiber
Extravaganza that celebrates the fiber arts with workshops, demonstrations and a
fiber arts market in addition to the well-curated show at the Museum and Arts
Center in Sequim.

Our winter was spent camping in the desert in Arizona with our horses. Lots of
horseback riding, reading, hiking and sightseeing filled our days.

Sunny and dry, but not always warm!

But with my trusty Featherweight and some hand stitching to occupy my time, I
managed to complete a few projects.

My membership in the Arizona Quilt Guild and the Vulture Peak Patchers allows me
to participate in their events. This year that included a bus trip to the AQS
QuiltWeek – Phoenix show, volunteering at the Desert Cabelleros Western Museum,
participating in the guild’s show and attending an annual three day retreat
called Sew Wickenburg.

Now that we’re back home, I’ve been busy in the studio with lots of new projects
in the works. Stay tuned for updates. I promise it won’t be eight months until
my next post!
