Seems like having a deadline is working for me. I finished, quilted and bound my epp project. The reveal will be when my class is scheduled :)
I also finishing piecing another top for teaching, which I have now quilted in Aurifil 12wt. (with 50 wt. in the bobbin). I LOVE how this looks! I just have to finish burying all the threads, I use a self threading needle for that job and it makes it so easy.
As a reward for my progress I picked up my green tea and sweet beans and started on this basket block:
It's normal to reward good sewing with more sewing right?!

Oh, how I wish this was pieced and not EPP... give me freezer paper any day, but EPP and I cry like a little girl... and besides you need patience of steel for it. (which I clearly lack)
Well, all of that to say that I love this piece enough to copy... lovely!
Will be waiting to see your finish while your fabric tease is definitely exciting to preview! Love that orange and the kitties.

really loving your work sweets! what is this "self threading needle"???
oh your points on that leaf! any tips you can share? also - what is a self-threading needle?
A non-food reward is perfect in my book! Pretty basket print..
I saw someone else on ig,cant remember who, working on a green tea and beans quilt. I love to hand sew, but do find when I turn under the curves and corners I lose all definition. Probably not nimble enough. Any tips?
I really like the look of that top quilt Lucy. ; )
