Pig Project

It has been very tough trying to get the paper pieced pig to come out correctly. I have started about five and not one is done... Time to move on and find another picture of a pig!

My very good friends P & P drove down from New Hampshire today to visit. It was great to see them! Off to a tailor supply shop in Dorchester, stop for coffee (we do like our coffee) and then back here to do a little bit of chatting and sewing. They left just as it started to rain... before the heavy rain started. I really need to do a road trip north to visit them.

Back to Project Pig, I found a cute paper piece of a pig!

Then...

I found a Dutch paper piece of a pig!

 

Back to the sewing machine... pictures to follow soon...

Thanks for stopping by!

Ciao for now :)

Paper Piecing...

I have been thinking of a very special "Quick Quilt" for a family friend who is very ill. Her favorite 'thing' to collect is Pigs. Put them together... and I have an issue... I don't have any Pig fabric!

So I'll create something...

1st off I had to find a pig...off to Google "Pigs" and then "Piglets"

Just one or two of what I got...

 



 



Just a few pigs... So what did I end up with?
This is the one that I am going to paper piece a few and patchwork the rest of the quilt

 It has taken a lot of time today to work this out on the EQ7 program that I have. I had never done anything like this before. 

So now to raid my stash for pink fabrics as I know that I do not have any pig fabric... then again, I could print a few pigs out... but that would not be as soft as the paper piecing will be and that is more important than pictures.

Thank you for joining me :) Hope you have enjoyed your coffee/tea/hot chocolate and break with me...

Ciao for now  :)
