paper piecing

And here is number 3 of the paper piecing. Again the same fabric has been used in a different setting. One more to go before it is time to go to the next step.
I admit progress is slow, but in the mean time I have been working on zentangle christmas cards. I don't want to show them here, because then there will be no surprise for the receivers.

PP progress

Progress is on the paper pieced quilts is going slowly. Two of them are quilted and hand stitched to stretched canvas. Each quilt is 10"x10" (25x25 cm) while the canvas is 16"x16" (40x40 cm). Here are there pictures:

Two done, means two still to work on. When all four are stitched to the canvas I will start the next step in this process.

paper piecing and art journal

Thank you all for giving me advice for the paper piecing. Roughly 1/3 was in favor of the centre position , 1/3 in favor of the corner position and the remaining 1/3 said it depended on what I wanted to do with it. This left me with no other choice than taking the scientific process of numbering the positions (centre = 1, corner = 2), writing these numbers on a piece of paper, shuffle the papers and pick one with my eyes closed :-). And the winner is ....... drumroll ......: corner position. Today I intend to stitch the quilt to the canvas. Picture will follow.

Another thing I did this week was working on my art journal. I am not a great painter, but I keep practising. Every month my friend Kelly and I make 2 art journals. This month's choice for me was pomegranates. Here is a painting of 2 fruits:
And here is one of the fruit cut open:

Is it great art? No! Is it fun to do? Yes!

paper piecing

The first of my paper pieced squares is ready to be stitched onto a canvas. I have auditioned two different ways of placing it, but I cannot make up my mind which one I prefer. On the first picture the square is placed in the middle of the canvas:
In the second picture the square is at the bottom left corner. Which one to choose???
