I like your scrummy new fabrics but I’ve never heard of Gin Martin?/
The labels are so cute…love the mug rug.
I see lots of pink in there!
I loved Gina’s Wrens & Friends line and this line looks equally cute. I’m crazy over paper piecing and have done it for years. Last summer I took a class from RaNae Merrill and she had us use wooden wallpaper seam rollers to press our seams. Love this technique! You hold the roller in your fist with the handle straight up and down and press your fabric to the side after sewing the seam. When a block is finished, I still press with an iron, but this is great for all the steps along the way. Good luck and have fun!
I spy Glimma <3
Oooh! I see a great Jelly Roll pattern! Those labels are absolutely adorable! Are they iron transfers?
Looks like a cute pattern all snuggled in with that cozy fabric!
I love the little label! So cute. Love that Glimma in that yummy scrap pile.
The Glimma jumped out at me straight away. Life is random for most of us on a regular basis. xx

I see lots of low volumes and I like that kite string-like fabric. Sweet mug rug!
My tip for paper piecing is to press every seam. I use my Clover mini iron and it’s the perfect tool for the task. Also, LOVE the mug rugs I just received from you! They are perfect for our bad habit of eating in front of the TV :o)
I did not know the line of fabric by Gina Martin- Nice! – I would make a sewing machine cover.
Paper piecing how fun! tip- use a sharp pointed tweezer to remove all paper when done!
I bought some of the Sweetwater labels too!! I love them! 🙂

Wow! I’ll be so excited if that beautiful stash of fabric were just to show up in front of my door! Haha I feel you
Ooh, Glimma! Love the gold dots too.
I see a pattern with umbrellas! Love that feathers pattern you’re tackling at the top. i love paper piecing, it’s not that hard, you just have to make sure you’re generous with the fabric, at least to begin with
Paper Piecing tip that I learned is there is a LOT of waste, so to minimize you cut your strips, like the pattern calls for the 5.5″ and 1.5″ cuts of the background fabric and you just cut that WOF and then trim after sewing on, in the end you can make a whole lot more quilt with less waste.
