More Vacation Stitching
I’ve had a great time working with Jennifer Paganelli’s Flower Power prints this week. English paper piecing is a fantastic vacation craft. I’ll be stitching some more on the plane ride home today. I think it will take 12,000 more vacations to get enough flowers to make a whole quilt. I don’t really have time for a day job if I really want to get serious about this quilt. : )

Very nice, and you can always have a really amazing centre of a quilt, medallion style, or a table-topper for the middle of a fancy feast. Love those colours!

Fabulous colors! I love the little flowers you are making and think you will get done sooner than you think.

Fabulous Flowers! As you keep going you will continue to get faster and find ways to fit them into the little nooks and crannies of empty time you have.
I found a way online to stitch only in the folded fabric corners of the hexagons instead of through the paper and the fabric. This has made the process a little quicker for me and it helps my paper pieces last longer.

Great suggestion, Lindsay. I did a Google image search and found this: http://blog.craftzine.com/418177276_3cd6abd4c7.jpg.

Very pretty. I have to share that I owned a large hexagon-pieced quilt top with fabrics from the 30′s and 40′s. Never did anything with it ~ wasn’t interested at all in quilting. 2 years ago it went to a Christmas auction as part of a sewing room scene.
And of course, the quilting bug bit me a year later.
Sort of like giving away maternity clothes and then getting pregnant, washing the car and then it rains, etc.
