Hello Everyone and Happy Midsummer! So last month, I joined The Denver Metro Modern Quilt Guild, which is a local community of quilters who get together at least once a month for meetings, gatherings, retreats, etc. I am very excited about this, because I get to meet with people with the exact same hobby as me! In the meetings they discuss future events, do show and tells on quilt challenges, and teach some quilting skills. The first meeting I went to in June, we learned how to English Paper Piece (EPP).
In my previous entries I have shown my Paper Piecing Foundation quilts, and now I have been enjoying English Paper piecing. The difference between the two is that English paper piecing is hand sewn. After I learned this, I got a little hooked so I made a few more EPP hexagons and machine sewed them onto quilt blocks to make a mini-quilt.
EPP is pretty easy to do and I grasped at it pretty quickly. Eventually, I want to make other shapes other then the Hexagons, and I began to sketch EPP patterns to make a pillow. Who knows, maybe one day I will make a whole quilt all made from English Paper Piecing. 😉
Hello! My name is Julie, I am very crafty and I love to quilt! I currently live in Denver, Colorado, but I was born and grew up in Virginia. My sewing journey began in 2009 where I started making handbags and I have participated in several craft shows/markets in Virginia and Colorado.
I began quilting in 2020, and since then quilting has been my main focus. I have made several quilts from modern, improve, lap quilts to mini quilts. In 2023 I became a member of the Denver Metro Quilt Guild. Besides sewing, in my spare time I love to weave, take photos, bake, hike, ski, attend craft/art shows, and spend time with my husband and my dog Lilly. My blog mostly focuses on my creations and inspirations, but once and awhile, I will blog about my trips and travel adventures. My goal is to share and inspire everyone who is reading. Enjoy!
