A swim lesson or two and a few gymnastics classes (for my girls, not me!) and I've finished up the EPP project I started in class with Katy Jones from I'm a Ginger Monkey. Well, I finished up the EPP part anyway. Now I need to applique it onto a background, and I think turn it into a pillow????
I am a bit ticked at myself for getting 2 of the pieces mixed up and thus in the wrong spots for coloring purposes. BUT, I am LAZY and don't want to rip it out. I think I will just say that "it adds charm" and go with that. I'm not sure if this block has a name or not. I trolled through Katy's website and Flickr pool, but didn't come across an actual name, thus "Nameless EPP".
I know some of you might be scratching your heads on why I would take an EPP class in the first place, since I have finished EPP projects in the past. I think I just wanted a little validation that I was doing it right since I learned all my EPP from the internet and books. Thankfully, it seems I was on the right track, and I even walked away from the class having learned a different way to baste my pieces. Katy was a fun teacher, and I really enjoyed the class. I wish I had taken it on Sunday (the last day of QuiltCon) instead of Saturday, it would have been a nice relaxing class to ease my mind (QuiltCon was a little intense). Nothing like a little handwork to calm you down, you know?

Oh Jen, it's fab! I had to really search to see what you meant by the Wrong spots - you are being too hard on yourself - 99(+)% of quilters wouldn't notice if you didn't say, and non quilters wouldn't notice at all!!!!
