Hi all -
I hope everyone is doing well! I'm still visiting my family. The excavator called last Monday to let me know that the guy who is going to do the majority of the work on my septic line would be out for a couple of days because his mom had triple bypass surgery. I hope it is all going well for her!! I haven't heard from the excavator again yet so I'm delaying my return home until Thursday. Then, I'll have to go home regardless of the status of the work since my cat is at home alone. Hopefully the weather is reasonable and they are able to get the work done by then!
I brought my Tula Sunrise kit designed by Tula Pink to my sister's house. This is the kit that I decided to keep here since it is English Paper Piecing (EPP), which is all hand work, so I don't need a sewing machine to work on it.

I started by organizing the paper pieces. They were all jumbled together in the kit, so I separated them out into baggies along with the cutting template. Then I organized the fabric and figured out how each is used and how to follow the pattern. Finally, I was able to start basting the center pieces and the large triangles for the border. I only have a few more of these pieces to baste, then I can start working on some of the smaller pieces.
I've also been making progress on my Atween shawl designed by Laura Nelkin.

This shawl is built as three separate pieces that are grafted together and then a border is added. I've finished the first piece and am almost done with the second. I haven't looked at the grafting instructions yet so that will be and adventure!
