My New to Me activities this month are definitely a mixed bag.
First up, my very first published paper piecing pattern.
My Designer Shoe Boot cushion pattern that appears in the latest edition of
Next my first attempt at reverse applique for the Wine Bottle gift bag that was this month's Ho, Ho, Ho and on We Sew project.
Head on over to Charly & Ben's Crafty Corner to add your own links and check out Ruth's wonderful So Frosty quilt pattern and Flying Geese tutorial whilst you are there!
And finally, the scary manual challenge laid down by Katy to ignore all those tempting automatic settings on my camera and try to fathom it all out for myself!
So, that's my New to Me activities this month, now it is your turn.
As ever please help to spread the word by linking back to this post in your post and/or adding the blog button to your sidebar.
Check out the other links too and, maybe, leave an encouraging comment along the way. The emphasis of this link party is to celebrate the trying of something new, whether it works out exactly as planned or not, so a little encouragement here and there would not go amiss!
The link will remain open until 23.59GMT on June 30th, so you have some time to try something new and link up and join the party :)
Link up your New to You posts!
