("blender" that I designed and sewed as an example block for the retreat last weekend)
At the retreat last weekend, I had everyone practice paper piecing by pp'ing their first initial and then we made pincushions from them. Tara and I had some fun arranging them into funny sayings.

I had so much fun teaching and I'm just amazed at the creativity of the ladies that were there! They all totally blew my mind with their creations!
And now, on to the winner of the Strawberry Fields layer cake:
#68- Jenny! Who said, "congratulations penny, what a sweet project"
Congratulations, Jenny!
No need to email me Jenny, I have your address thanks to the many fabric swaps we've done!
I hope you all are having a wonderful week!
I just love all your fun paper piecing ideas

Lately every time I come to your blog, I gasp. That blender. I can't wait, wait, wait to see all the kitchen blocks together. In addition, the pincushion was a great entry point for pp letters. I must try that. The curves in an S are a little intimidating to me, though. Maybe rectangles and tiny triangles are the ticket?
