I have paper pieced a lot, but never struggled like this!!
Six hours later I  still don't have a bowl to show you.
Please send me some good vibs....paper piecing vibs...
has anyone else struggled with this pattern?????
Or is it just me...DA!!!!
My day for the blog hop is on the 16th.
I am in panic mode!!

and this may be the bowl you see on the 16th!!
I have a small garden and finally the veggies are coming!

I am so sorry for being so late announcing the winner of the 
'Think Christmas' blog hop...

  1. Yum! Those bowls of vegetables look great!! I knew the tiny pieces would be buggers, so I started early. I am so glad I did! Sending you some good vibes for a happy sewing session! ;-)

  2. I offer two pieces of advice. Enlarge the size of the bowls. O r do like I did. I didnt put the stripe on my bowl. I made them all solid fabric. I actually quilted the lines later.

  4. I wish you luck with these bowls!! At this point I would have to have resorted to just sitting a real bowl on top of a finished block. Hope you do better than me.
    Good luck!

  7. Colleen's right--enlarge the pattern and/or sew them without the stripe. Good vibes coming your way!

  8. Love the veggies, wish mine were doing as good. I have watered them almost every day but the heat has been too much for the tomatoes. Never tried paper piecing but I see you managed it finally.
