Never Too Old to Learn.....or Be Afraid to learn by mistakes

Never Too Old to Learn, or Humble enough to accept when it isn’t right!
Well, I have been doing this now for quite a while, but because I choose to do everything in this BUCKET LIST from scratch, I want to share with you that I have learned a new way of paper piecing. Paperless....no more peeling from the back of the block when all sewing is completed.

November 21 two friends and I got together ((Lyn G and Yvonne T) for an afternoon of complete fun, learning and sore cheek bones by the time we finiished our lesson. Lyn is such a relaxed teacher, that even when things didn’t work out, she kept both of her students feeling as relaxed and even making wierd comments. So.....here is a little of a recap of the finished pieces.

By the way, if you want to check out this new method, then here is a web site for you to look at in your own spare time. Go to:

Here are the paper pieced blocks I completed from Lyn’s personal instructions.
 1st block Log Cabin with a red heart fire center represented
2nd (top block) was a lesson from Lyn which I finished at home later. 



3rd block....well I had so much fun that I decided to try the block yet again.....wow!! This is such fun.
4th block, I was getting a bit too confident. So this was my learning block. Notice that everything is off center, causing the block to come out incorrectly.

So OK one more try with the freezer paper before I decide to stop for this learning time. I know I’ll be back. Never Too Old to Learn, or Humble enough to accept when it isn't right!
This will be a block which is going to be included in a quilt for a friend in one of my groups on line. She is going through some personal issues right now.
