Grunge days

I've jumped on this project from 2015 with renewed vigour and verve.

I feel like finishing things!!

What a great feeling it is to finish something, (rather than just start more new things). 

I knew a lady once that would spend $400 on quilt materials, get right into it, then buy and start another project. I didn't see her finish anything! 

I was in one of the local quilt shops when I saw this cushion made from EPPiflex clam shells. 

Well, I've always wanted to do clam shells, ever since i made a mini clam quolt a very long time ago.

So I bought the eppiflex special guide to ensure the clams line up evenly in a pleasant way.   The idea with the EPPiflex is that they are flexible reuseable plastic,  which really suits me! I love the way of creating hexies using plastic from ice cream bucket lids.  So I bought the clam shapes as well. 

I have plenty of fabric already right? 

Back to my grunge project... these little clips are such a delight to use!

And this is my progress on my very own stitchery design. 

All moving forward!

New idea for a UFO

I was sorting out my UFOs when I came across this blast from the past.

Elongated hexagons. English Paper Piecing, and some gorgeous grunge fabrics.

I bought these prints and EPP pieces when I was pregnant in 2015! 7 years ago. 

I cant even remember how I was going to arrange these.  I've made some more and now come up with a new idea. 

That's my stitchery design in the centre.

Time to make a few more, create the stitchery and finish her up.

I love love the variety of shades and tones.

So fulfilling!

What colour shall I make the stitchery?
