It just came to my mind that this post is about things that start with the letter "p". First of all and so wonderful is that there was an e-mail from our dear little Peace Corps volunteer Hannah this morning - she is safe and sound in Africa and full of enthusiasm and ready for her wonderful adventure. Then late this afternoon, Sherry called me and she had just talked to Hannah on Skype - she was bubbling over and so happy to have talked with and seen her. The wonders of technology! Just wanted to share our joy!
Now I will switch to paper piecing! Next week Linda in our guild will be teaching a class and we will be doing a design she has created on EQ 7. She is a master at the art of paper piecing and it will be wonderful to spend the day in her class. I have been picking out my fabric - went "shopping" in the basement and was able to come up with almost all of the 11 different fabrics needed. I did have to buy the background fabric which is the black with the swirly design in dots. I just don't have very many larger pieces of batiks. Actually, I don't have large pieces of many fabrics since I do such scrappy quilts. I usually buy the bigger pieces as I need them.
The third "p" in this post is for the Polka Dot Girls that I started last fall. They have been kind of hidden away in their box but I got them out the other day and now about have the fourth set out of eight finished. This one is wrinkled and has not been washed or pressed yet. I also see that I didn't embroider the rake! Back in the hoop it will go. (Click to enlarge)
