Paper Piecing for Judy

I hadn't either until this group encouraged me. They can be as easy and as hard as you want.

Oh my goodness gracious Lynne! I can see that I'm going to be in big trouble now. This looks like something I would love to do! Thank you very much, I'm bookmarking the sites. I have stacks of colouring books - was one of my fav passtimes as a kid :) This is a great idea!

I really love paper piecing too. I get out my exacto knife and my cutting mat and go to town. Coloring books are a great source for patterns. I have a friend that wants to do a Raggety Ann and I found a coloring book with her in it at the Dollar Store.

I've added these links under Links and then Paper Piecing. If anyone has other good ones, send them on!!

Thanks Lynne!

Another good source of piecing patterns is appliqué. The technique is exactly the same, of course, just a different medium and there are free ones all over the net.

Thank you for these links. I love paper piecing so can't wait to give these links a try. Funny story...I wanted some background paper I created for my DD album for my recipe swap pages. The file I created isn't on my computer any more so I crawled through my favorites looking for the link to the base image so I could recreate it. I found that I have SOOO many scrapbooking links, I couldn't find what I needed! LOL Fortunately, I found it on a backup at home. I guess I need to better organize my scrapbooking links. :-)

Another funny thing...I used this very same frolicking pumpkin paper piecing. It was the very first one I ever did. I'll have to dig out the LO and scan it tonight. I really like what you did with the pumpkins. I kept to the original pattern. Thank you for sharing!

Take care!

Thanks for sharing the websites. I love the first one with the Santa paper piecing. I think I might have to try that now that I have a pattern. Thanks again.

The frolicking pumpkins paper piecing is in the "Kids" album under
