A veddy British week.....

When I thought about what I have been doing for the last week, I realized that my life has had a particularly British flavor of late.  Last Wednesday we saw "The King's Speech;"  on Thursday my book group had a lively discussion of George Eliot's Middlemarch; and today I spent the two hours at my Monday Quilting/Knitting group doing some English Paper Piecing.

I never thought I would like English Paper Piecing, but I have seen posts from lots of bloggers who have made beautiful quilts or placemats or potholders using this method.  So I found a really good tutorial at Sunshine's Creations, and now I'm hooked!

Here's the link so you can get hooked, too!

I have no idea what will come from all this, but I am enjoying the process.
Also, this  is the perfect take-along project while driving (don't be alarmed....Dave drives; I piece!) so I keep a sandwich bag ready with some fabric pieces and sewing supplies, and I'm good to go.
  I'm sure I will be doing more sewing in the next couple of days because here in the Northeast we are expecting yet another snow storm tomorrow and Wednesday!
