    Smile It took me two days for this...

    Her given name is Magspaula, but I think I will name her Effie. I That seems to fit her better. I got the pattern free about a year ago, from www.paperpanache.com and just recently ran across it. I have never done paper piecing before, so it was a good way to try it. The colors are much brighter than they appear. I think I will go see if Carol Doak has any simple patterns for me to try. Here are the things I learned from it...

    1. Paper piecing can be frustrating.
    2. Paper piecing can be fun.
    3. Frog sewing on paper piecing takes real patience.
    4. If I do anymore, I will stick to simpler patterns.
    5. I still can't use a pattern without putting my stamp on it.
    6. I got to get a better light for my sewing room.
    7.

    Your Fairy Quilt Godmother looks great! I have the pattern downloaded and fabric all ready to go-thanks for the reminder to get her started! This is a cute idea to make a wallhanging for the sewing studios. This link goes directly to it:
