epp project booklet

A few months ago I had the pleasure of designing a few EPP (english paper piecing) projects for Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine. I planned and plotted for weeks, and finally I settled on making a peg bag, hexagon trivet, project pouch, and some super simple lavender sachets.

 I quite enjoyed working with these fresh, spring-y fabrics and I absolutely love the addition of my little peg boy in the upper left corner.

This was my first time ever working with such small, pointy templates and I did worry a bit when designing my trivet. Especially after I tried thread basting some of the pieces and I was having a really hard time matching things up. So the next day I picked up basting glue at my local quilt shop and it made the whole process way less stressful.

Of course Wonder Clips got to come out and play, too. They are perfect for holding binding down. Have you used them before? They are one of my most used and loved tools when I saw.

And look, super talented folks at LPQ published all the projects in this handy little booklet. So very exciting !!!

I hope you'll pick up your own copy of LPQ issue 35 (coming to US store in a few weeks) and give EPP a try.
