I wear leather gloves as well for heavy work - digging, clearing brambles, nettles etc; But not for sowing or planting or hand weeding, although I then have to scrub like mad with a nail brush before I go near any fabric!

Mama it REALLY isn't that difficult if you can get your head around the paper piecing, as you just stitch on the lines, I use an open toe foot so you have a clear view..just stitch a couple of tiny stitches before and after the drawn line OH and I ALWAYS stitch right to the edge of the boundary stitch lines :D

Izy, these are FABULOUS! It's not just the sewing tiny pieces, (that is MAJOR, though), it's picking the fabrics for color and size too! I wish there was some way to share all that talent by downloading it into my own brain! :D

Celeste, I had spent about two weeks organising a refuse sack full of bits, alot of these fabrics were left over from my first sampler quilt, and bits I have collected in the two years since I started quilting, alot came from my friends here on the board last year :D I enjoy colour coordinating, I originally was going to do a totally scrappy, but I just COULDN'T cope with the total hotch potch so went with these as I had more of them :D :D :D
