During my 15-Minute Challenge (turned one hour) sessions this week, I finished the paper-pieced Easter table topper flimsy. Needs quilting, etc., which I hope to finish this weekend between work assignments and whatever folly comes my way.
I took this photo in front of my patio door to get whatever light I could on the subject on this cold, gray day. The 80-degree sunshine of last weekend has been replaced by a steady rain/snow and temps in the mid-30s today.
After I moved the flimsy, I lay on the floor in the same spot and looked up through the patio door at the sky.
Interesting contrast, huh? I didn't change these to black and white; they're right out of the camera.
A good day to be in the sewing room.
Sometimes we have to create our own sunshine.

Love it! A lot! You have a great eye for fabrics.
Sorry about your grey weather. We had it last weekend and this weekend we've got your nice weather.
Loved the Ricky Martin :D. Perfect tie-in to your day!
Now if I could just get these rotten taxes done so I can sew!

Your paper pieced blocks look fantastic P. (I havent even made one yet -possibly today) The colours are wonderful and they look so perfect!
I'm thinking maybe a table topper is all I'll get done too...
Love the pictures. Very strak and arty.
That block looks much more spring-y than those photos! It was that way around here yesterday too. But we are having sun and warm some days too and I am loving them!
Great colors!!! Very springtime. Who cares if it's gloomy outside when you have such pretty things to look at? ;)
Look how perfect your corners and points are! Excellent work.
Great work!!! It looks like Spring in your sewing room! The colors are really pretty.
What beautiful colors! And I feel your pain about the grey day - it was horrible here today, 40's and windy and grey - yuck!!! hopefully the sun will shine tomorrow..... ;-)
What a bright and cheery block. I love paper piecing and really don't know why I don't do more.
Do hope the sun shines again real soon.
blessings, jilly
Your paper piecing is bright and sunshine-y even if your skies are not.
Come to California, P! 92 degrees at my house today.
:-}pokey

Love these colors and how you've put them together!
