No paper piecing projects as such in my house at the moment but there’s always some patterns I’ve been working on behind the scenes. Thought I might share some of my recent ones.
Pretty sure there are bazillions of people out there quietly shrieking (juxtaposition of the incongruous – thanks Year 12 English teacher for my favourite phrase) “Where are the Aussie animal patterns?” Well. Here they are. In sketch form at least.
We have a kangaroo, cockatoo,koala, wombat, kookaburra and a rather refined emu who needs some ruffled feathers before the sketch is done.
I’m rather keen to have a play with these patterns and see how they look in fabric but… Christmas sewing first!
So there’s my short and sweet post – your turn! Share what you’ve been working on foundation-style
Quick refresher on what the deal is with the Paper Piecing Party (full details here):
* It’s on every weekend here at Quiet Play, starting Friday.
* Link up something you’re working on that’s foundation paper pieced
* Link a blog post or flickr photo
* Visit at least two other links and leave a comment because that’s half the fun!
Hehehe. Too cute! Damn, first comment again... ;)

ReplyDelete*shrieks* These are awesome, Kristy! And the wombat could go through as Quokka!!! *squeals in delight cuz those are soooo adorable*
ReplyDeleteOh darn, I've been avoiding your lovely designs as I'm just not very good at PP, but I have a daughter who loves wombats so I may need to tackle that one!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess who signed up to be a Joey Scout Leader??????? These are going to be perfect!!!!!!!! I am desperate for a name and having been toying with either Burrakookie or simply Kookie - inspired by the kookaburra who was only a baby when we first moved here and now has his own mate in the paddock next door. I am thinking one of those messenger style bags with a Joey on one side and the Kookaburra on the other!!!!!! EEEK!!!!!! Yes I am totally in love :)
