Yes, I have been sewing for me!
I have made progress on my Sparkle Party Quilt!
I love this so much!
I have been working on Wonky Houses! I love house quilts of any kind. But Wonky allows you so much freedom.
Colors should not match (really)
Pieces should no be symmetrical (really)
and they do not have to have matching seams!!
A quilters dream!
I drew patterns...
Tried so hard to make it into a paper piecing pattern
Nope could not do that at all!!
I wish there was a program where you could scan a pattern and they would number it for you!!
How sweet would that be?!

So I did some free piecing.
I have been trying my hand at raw edge applique.
I have never appliqued before but I like the freedom of putting pieces where and how I want.
I adore paper piecing and someday I will figure out how to turn my drawings into a pattern.
Well it is back to school tomorrow for everyone, I love having everyone home, so it will be back to reality! But the good news is I will get to have my grandbabies for a few hours in the weeks ahead.
Happy sewing and have a wonderful week.
FUN houses! LOVE Sparkle Plenty. :o)

It's a little involved but if I can do it anyone can. Hope it works for you. (If I sent this to you 3 times sorry--I had some trouble)
Your sparkle party quilt and your wonky houses look amazing! I tried to make paper pieced houses but couldn't figure out the pattern either.
