Maybe it's just because I don't know much about EPP, but I never would have thought to have one piece completely encompassed by another. I'm very curious to see how that's done. Thanks! Nancy

Yep, English Paper Piecing.

I'm working on a sample to show that there is more to EPP than just plain old hexagons - actually it is for the girls over at threadbias.com, but I was planning on putting it on my blog as well. One of them didn't believe me when I posted this and said that I had made it by EPP.

They thought that it was applique.
So I had to show them the back as well

The numbers are about 1 1/4" tall. I got back to the technique after seeing the V&A quilt exhibition & the 1718 coverlet held by the Quilters Guild of GB.

Good to know Ritzy. Now I have to just go out and buy one - or a silicone baking sheet. I had an idea that I might flatten out a silicone cup cake case but I must have given them away too. I suppose they will jump out of a cupboard at me as soon as I come home with the mouse pad and baking sheet.

But of course they will!

I am doing some EPP at the moment & lost one of the pieces, it turned up as soon has I had made it's replacement

murphgirl OFFLINE Posts: 5	Hello, I also bought one of those foot mats for my carpeted floor... it didnt work either. I like the idea SuperJudy's granddaughter had best - probably the easiest and my trash can is nearby. It will only take one quick move and no more $. Thanks SuperJudy! Cherie

lorra OFFLINE Posts: 962 Thank you received: 122	It just dawned on me that the reason I sew barefoot is when I have to chase the foot controller around I can grab it easier with my toes and pull it back to me. I think I will look for one of the silicon mats to try. The basement gets cold in the winter and I may be able to keep my slippers on.
