I've so many things to blog about at the moment, I don't have time to get them all in, but I really want to share a foundation paper piecing project that is just about to come out in October's copy of Love Patchwork and Quilting. You know my favourite things to paper piece are teapots and houses, so in preparation of the colder weather a 'Winter House' foundation pieced cushion cover.
I love the photo styling! I find cushions and pillows hard to photograph so its amazing what a professional can do! This is a a skills builder project: there are downloadable free full-size templates on the LPQ website for the paper piecing and I cover the foundation piecing process in details; there is a mitred corner border so the house looks like its sitting in a picture frame; and finally there is a machine stitched zipper opening which could easily be replaced by an envelope style opening too.
I kept to a muted cool palette with a hint of warmth just hinting at Christmas.
This is the issue to look out for, you can see Lynne's new BOM top right in very pretty new Windham 'Mimosa' fabrics, as well as Cristina's stunning star quilt and a hint of Christmas with Ali's star stockings and Judith's easy paper pieced winter tree triangle projects.
