Hello and how was your weekend?
Today I'm wondering if you EPP.
English Paper Piecing has been around for ages but it's become really popular during the last decade. If you don't know what the technique is, there is a good tutorial here.
There's a lot of shapes that one can make with this technique but the most popular appear to be hexagons. And this is ironic because hexagons are really popular these days on decorating shows. We must be in a hexie phase.😃
Lucy Boston (1882-1990) was a pretty famous English writer who loved to EPP. Her books were primary for children but quilters everywhere seem to be talking about her EPP quilts.
If you are interested in reading more about here, here is an article you might be interested in:
I'd love to know how many of you are doing EPP. I'm looking into it but I'm not sure if I want to pursue this or not. I sure have a lot of other projects to complete.
Have a safe and happy day!
I'm doing Lucy Boston, but not EPP. I have a set of stamps for them, straight hand stitching.
ReplyDeleteI have made some small hexagon pieces and I've appliqued some rosettes on other quilts but that's all. I like making the rosettes but I don't like sewing all them together for a large quilt. I'm in awe of what some people make.
