My Stop On Bowls with Borders Blog Hop
Hello and welcome to my stop on the Bowls with Borders Blog
Hop!
I would like to thank Regina for creating this lovely
pattern and allowing all of us hoppers to use it! I would also like to thank our
Head Cheerleader Madame Samm for creating this hop and the lovely Carol for
organizing it!
On T.V there is a commercial that
says NO ONE IS GOOD AT EVERYTHING.....but EVERYONE IS GOOD AT SOMETHING! I
found that to really hit home with this blog hop....LOL
This is my 2nd attempt at paper piecing. After my first attempt back in January I
swore NEVER AGAIN! When Madame Samm first came out with her idea of doing a
bowl swap I thought LOVE THE PATTERN, but nowhere near that kind of skill level
to take part. When the swap turned into a hop I thought....dare I try again???
I had seriously outrageous goals of what I was going to
create and although the pattern was great and really easy to follow.....my
brain just kept going huh? Whaa? Duh? Bang Boom.. Lights out...LOL
This is what I ended up with
It’s not the 6 bowl masterpiece I thought I was going to
make, but I love it all the same. I tried really hard and ended up with
something that I think is presentable....I hope you all feel the same way too!!
Thanks for stopping by I hope you had an interesting time at
least. Now go on and see what my co-hosts created for today!!
Love your little stack, they remind me of Fiesta ware! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. I like it!

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany
Your bowls are wonderful! Great colors and I like your two bowl design.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job as you did your best. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWell done! Sometimes less is more - and with the trepidation one has going into paper piecing, I totally get it! You did good :o)
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely! Paper piecing does become easier. You just have to practise, rip stitches, throw stuff around the room and then it all comes together! Great job for persevering!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Great to have a go rather than not.. Lovely two bowls anyway. Love the borders with it. So cute. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteYour bowls look great. Well done. I found early one using paper piecing that I ended up having a lot of tantrums as it just didn't work for me. Now several years later I find it a great technique.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insistent trying on paper piecing! Yes it may be somewhat intimidating in the beginning but it is a great technique and worth trying it. Like Lyndsey I also gave up in the beginning but came back and now love it. So maybe one day you will be with us paper piecers!

ReplyDeleteSunny yellow with a happy fellow showing them off. It works for me! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteAll start is difficult - one says in Deutsclhland. Only courage, it will already clap. The beginning has well succeeded.
ReplyDeleteMany greetings from Germany

They turned out just lovely. Paper piecing is a bit of a challenge. It all seemed bacwards to me at first, but got easier (with practice and watching some youtube videos).
ReplyDeleteYours would make a cute table topper.
Thanks for sharing.
Great job on your cheerful little stack. This has been a fun hop and it was nice to visit and see your project.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright colors you chose. Your bowls look great. I did not participate in this blog hop because paper piecing is my nemesis. I think it's great that you overcame your dislike of paper piecing and created lovely bowls to share with all of us.
ReplyDeleteYou made a cute little stack of bowls! The gnome seems to be happy with them...lol. great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowls and I love your little gnome!
ReplyDeleteWell, your short stack is just great.
ReplyDeleteEven your gnome looks a bit surprised!
Try a Carol Doak book for paper piecing. She is fantastic.
Thanks for joining in and sharing your project.
What a nice looking "mug rug" of bowls. I like the short stack.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pickles-Your little bowls are precious and came out great. I tried PP a few years ago unsuccessfully, but I think I tried to tackle too big of a project. I still have it and maybe will get back to it someday. I admire anyone who is successful with it. Thanks for sharing-from California.
ReplyDeleteWell I think your two bowl stack is just as cute as can be. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYour bowl project is way more than presentable. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work on your bowls.
ReplyDeleteyay!! You did it! Now go do it again ;-)
ReplyDeleteAll artist have mental blocks from time to time and it sounds like you just had one! It's still a very cute and well done block. maybe a mug rug from it? i'd love to have a mug rug with this pattern and I miht just be inspired to do one now! love the gnome too!
ReplyDeleteIt's perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bowls! I like it.

I love your bowls!! You did a great job!! Thanks for sharing them with us!!
ReplyDeleteHayley...you did a great job. I hear you...I struggled too...I uttered a few choice words and bonded with my ripper and 7 hours later, 3 patterns with multiple trys, scotch taped and retaped...I finally had one bowl and was calling it quits. Now what can I make with one bowl...my message board. I like it so much...crazy me I started another one with 2 bowls...love it too. Now I would really like to make a REAL stack of bowls. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful week! Pauline
ReplyDeleteYou did it! Your bowls are very cheerful. I hope your block doesn't end up on the orphan block pile, it's too pretty for that. PP can be confusing, especially the angled bits.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! You ded a great job. Thank you for persevering.
ReplyDeleteTea for two and two for tea, a bowl for you and a bowl for me.... they are lovely!
ReplyDeleteCute Bowls.
ReplyDeleteLove them...and so does Gnome and you will too...everytime you see your piece a smile will appear. You have a wonderful garden, envious me. BC girl with no space. Cathy R
ReplyDeleteMrs. Pickles, I don't want to laugh, but I can't help myself. Your bowl creation is adorable and the little guy standing by them is pretty darn cute. As for your post about the bowls--LOL! Thanks for giving PP another try. :O)
ReplyDeleteVery nice bowls!
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. Now the 75c question: what are you going to turn it into?
ReplyDeleteFor my second try, I think I made a square in a square! You did a wonderful job. Do not give up, you got it!
ReplyDeleteYour paper pieced bowls look great! So pretty in the setting. You did a fine job!
ReplyDeleteSmall is good too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYes as everybody has said they do look like Fiesta Ware. At least you tried and a few people didn't even do that(meaning me) I just can't get into paper piecing so your little bowl is so cute. Thanks
ReplyDeleteOh! The stack is so cute next to Mr. Gnome. I like your bowls with borders.
ReplyDeleteThey turned out very cute. Love the color.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Great bright color choices
ReplyDeleteI love the yellows. It would go great in my green kitchen. I found paper piecing to be a challenge, also, but I am glad that I participated. It is so much fun to see everyone's different idea.
ReplyDeleteDon't be so hard on yourself! I think your bowls turned out beautifully. Love the bright colors. Thanks for sharing your bowls with us. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job. Your little gnome thinks so too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for staying with it and not giving up! It's very smart looking!
ReplyDeleteI think your bowls came out really cute! Love the gnome and colors :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect short stack with the gnome. Great colors. :)
ReplyDeleteHow delightful with your friendly neighborhood gnome! I love it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice little stack of bowls!
ReplyDeleteI give you an E for extra effort! You and I must both have our issues with Paper Piecing!
ReplyDeleteBlessings'Gmama Jane
Striking colour combination! You should indeed be proud of your paper piecing. Your bowls are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing and being a part of the hop.
Lovely small bowls have you done. Nice to see how many different variations you can make out of the same pattern
ReplyDeletecute! your gnome is very excited about your bowls.
ReplyDeleteYour bowls are small, but I love them. They are so lovely. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI think you did great. I've never tried paper peicing myself so you are leads above me already.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I enjoy paper-piecing, and find your little quilt so cute.
