Bowls! Bowls! Bowls!







Today is my day for the Bowls with Borders hop! :-)
But before I show you my little project, let me first thank Carol, at Just Let Me Quilt~ Thanks Carol! She is the one who organized the 165 hoppers for this blog hop. And she did a fantastic job!
Also my thanks to Regina Grewe, whose cute little pattern we are all using.  Her paper piecing patterns are all so adorable!
And finally Mdm Samm at Sew WE Quilt, who thinks up these amazing hops!  And cheers us on. :-)
Thank you all!


Paper piecing~ where to begin....
 I have always had one of those love/hate relationships with paper piecing. :-) Love the precision, do not necessarily like how tedious it can be. Not exactly hate, but I do have to be thinking straight. LOL
This pattern was fun! I loved playing with my scraps and bits! :-)
I think the photo will enlarge if you click on it. 
The blue binding is darker in 'real life'. :-)



I just had to add the cherries in the bowls to go with the red in my kitchen. :-)
Please be sure to visit my fellow hoppers today~~

Sandi. Great fabric choice. My favorite part? The inset of giant ric rack (not sure if that's the correct spelling). What a super idea! I saw some yesterday in my stash when I was searching for something else. Will have to pull it out. Thanks for the inspiration!

Sandi-Life is indeed a "bowl of cherries." Is that red rickrack that you used to really set off the bowls? Whatever it is, the red with the light background and blue border really makes your bowls "POP" Thanks for sharing.

Life should be a bowl of cherries, not?! Other things do get in the way, but that's ok also. That's the way life works: Nobody has a perfect plan that works out all the time. Thanks for sharing your bowls!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
