It sure doesn’t feel like picnic weather, but one can hope it’s coming soon!
For this week’s blog hop with Quilting Gallery, I will say “welcome, so glad you stopped by!”
For my giveaway, I wanted to share a gift that says something about me as a quilter: I Love Paper Piecing! Would like to try it? or are you already hooked?

One of my favorite paper pieced quilts is the Village Green:

If you like paper piecing, or want to give it a try, the book “Paper Piecing Picnic” has lots of fun projects at all skill levels. To enter the drawing, just leave a comment. Tell me about your favorite quilting technique. I will draw a winner on March 14.
Also, I just started a small Quilt Along, check it out here
happy hopping,

I’ve been working on my FMQ. Thanks.
I have not had time to try paper piecing but I want to. I love making twister quilts and rag quilts. Thanks for giving us the chance to win.
Wow!! Your quilts are amazing!!! I have trouble being precise so maybe paper piecing is the way I should go.
