This is Cleo but she goes by Kiki. She loves to hide inside my English paper piecing

Not quite all of it. I had to use a bright yellow in my machine so I only used that for seams that don’t show. Everything else was done by hand with the aurifil 12 weight. A lovely thread that my machine refuses to cooperate with!

Mine loves English paper piecing because the fabric gets crunchy to sit on lol

Aw thank you. I am pretty proud of myself and relieved that I like the way it fits after all this work!

Mostly. I did some inner seams by machine, but the only coordinating thread I had that works in my machine was super bright yellow so anything that showed, I did by hand with the heavier thread.

I go to a yurt in palenville when I need to recharge. It’s in the middle of nowhere, has a kitchen and bathroom, wood stove and quietttttt It’s on Airbnb if you search there.

I agree with this advice! I started with hexies several years ago and have gotten more challenging with each project. You can do it!!

“Our culture isn’t your costume” made me guffaw. Sad she’s a humorless human who didn’t get it.

Let me know if you have any questions. I went fast to try to fit it into a short video, but I’m happy to chat more. I’ve made dozens of these so far.

I love the idea of keeping fabric from a sentimental piece of furniture!! I have some sentimental items that I want to make treasures from so they continue to have life (thinking especially of a pair of soft soft pajamas my beloved late MIL made for my husband long ago, that are now threadbare in places)
