My friend taught me how to paper piece today so I just made my 1st block at home all by myself.

Wow, this was so much fun, thanks again Sharon for teaching me today during the snow storm.

Yes, but only small things, nothing big. But it's so much fun and a good way to use up small pieces of fabric.

craftybear 02-15-2010 07:09 PM

Hi,

What types of small things have you made?
