Tulips & Paper Piecing in Miniature

It's Funny Friday
by Prudence

Isn't that a bee-u-tee-ful picture?  Oh wait, (giggle) that's me.  Well...it is a bee-u-tee-ful picture but I meant this one

Mom was at the store yesterday and I wanted to surprise her with a spring picture on her puter screen.  She came home and saw that bright yellow and just stood there and smiled.  She likes.

Hello, it's me - The Mom
I wanted to share my mini quilts with you.  A year ago my dear friend Cindy sent me a little quilt kit.  A little background.... Cindy started me on miniatures and taught me most of what I know today.
I suspect that she loves to challenge me with different aspects of minis -  QUILTS.
So, about that package, it was this adorable quilt kit - but what was "paper-piecing"?  I looked at it and thought "oh, I can't do that" and away it went.   Several months ago I was reading Katy's Blog (http://thelittlestthistlecraftshop.blogspot.com/ ) and there she had a tutorial on paper-piecing. (FYI, Katy is the teddy bear artist who created LuLu.)  Reading it I was very interested but didn't think about that little kit.

Another package from Cindy, a second quilt kit.  Gosh, I hadn't even done the first one...what to do?  I challenged myself, opened, read the instructions - LIGHT BULB MOMENT...oh, this paper-piecing is fun.
 This is the one Cindy sent me before Christmas

Have a wonderful weekend.

"Hello, Mr. Po-lizeman?"

"Yes, it's me - LuLu."
"I want you to come and arrest Mom and Prudence and take them to jail."
"Why, you ask?"
"They are mean and nasty and like to punish us."
"No, we are very good bears! "
"Hey Flora, they got to the po-lize, they don't believe us"
"On to Plan B."  SANTA!!!
I'll dial up Bellamine and Wendy at

They will be able to help us.
