EPP pictures

Here are my some photos of my EPP project. This is 1" x 1" hexagons that I found at Geta's quilting studio, that I linked in my previous post.

This is just a very small start on this project, and I don't expect to finish it for a long time yet. I will update as the months go by. 

This is my EPP 1 , so whenever I mentionany EPP's, this is the first, my denim is my EPP 2. I will probably show some photos at a later point. 

At the moment I'm only focusing on this EPP 1 project.

Here's a little Viking saying. 

 

Affection is mutual when men can open

All their heart to each other:
He whose words are always fair

Is untrue and not to be trusted. 

Enjoy your day , Linn 

(EPP) English paper piecing

I am not sure if I have mentioned EPP (English Paper Piecing) before? 

I don't think so. 

I read a book, maybe it was in 2020, I am not sure. I don't even remember which book it was..let me try to find out. 

The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier, I read it in January 2020 according to Goodreads.

In this book they mention quilting, and English paper piecing. I had never heard of that before, so off i went to Google or Duck Duck Go it.  And that's when I found my newest hobby.

I started back in January 2020, gave it a go, then I started on another EPP quilt using old denim. 

...but then I got into sewing skirts instead, 

It has been a while since I last did Paper Piecing now, but once again I have been bitten by the bug. I have a fair amount of leftover fabric from the skirts I made this last year, I also have a bedsheet and duvet cover. They are no longer good for their intended use, so instead of thowing them out and for them end up on the landfill I have chosen to use them in my EPP project. I am also using a few shirts, and will use my daughters shirts when she finished school next spring. 

This is my choice, to try to have less of a footprint on this earth. 

I think that the pollution of our planet is one of the most important topics of our time, and I am doing my best to minimise my personal pollution. That topic is for another day though. 

Today it's English Paper Piecing. 

I am trying to get my photos up and running here on the blog, but they are not agreeing with me. I will have to just inset them in a separate blogpost later on. 

I have found inspiration on you tube and Geta's quilting studio. She has some helpful tips, hints and patterns. 

I am still very new to epp, and I don't know the inns and outs. I do have an idea on how to do this, and **I will try to show you how I get on throughout the year. 

Until next time, take care.
