Yesterday was one of those absolutely glorious, sunny, 60-something degrees beautiful autumn days, so we decided to take an 1.5 hour trip to the apple orchard/ pumpkin patch/ corn maze place.
Now car trips, however short they may be, mean some hand sewing for me. I usually epp scrappy hexagons, but yesterday I worked with these "coffin" paper shapes instead.
I had no idea what to use them for at first. After a while of playing around with the layout, however, I came up with this lovely flower idea.
I think these creepy little coffins make for perfectly sweet flower petals, don't you?

Hope your weekend was lovely, too. Svetlana
Those are cool! I haven't seen that shape before.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty flower! I've never been able to bring myself to make coffins. I always thought they were too creepy, but I think you just won me over!
ReplyDeleteok the name got me at first but then those cute little coffins turned into that cute little flower. Oh so cute.
ReplyDeleteSvetlanko, paradni! Jeste jsem se nesetkala s takovym tvarem, vypada to moc pekne, ve tvaru kyticky je to opravdu super! A jak: byli jste uspesni? Mate kukurice, dyne a jablka? :) Jola
ReplyDeleteI think they will be wonderful flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove the new flower design! Looks like fun was had by all!!
ReplyDeleteThe flower is amazing! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm a bit jealous. Here in Germany it's been raining much for the last days.
ReplyDeleteI like those "little coffins". And in the moment I read this description I had the idea of a Halloween-Quilt with little coffins and skulls... Thank you! :D
Great idea! I love that flower shape you have designed. We are having some warm fall weather here in Ontario, Canada. Glad to have it.
ReplyDeleteI think it makes a great flower!
ReplyDeleteLove your idea of how to use the coffin shaped pieces... I love paper piecing and might just have to give your flower a try. It would look wonderful appliqued to that gray background you have... and maybe a pretty solid center? ...Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteHuh, never come across EPP coffins before, shouldn't that have been in halloween fabric? :oD
ReplyDeletePrettiest coffins ever x
ReplyDeleteHa ha, a great October project. I love your coffin flower!
ReplyDeleteYour coffins (what a strange name!) are gorgeous in a flower shape! You may be starting a new trend :)
ReplyDeleteThat Briar Rose coffin is so sweet! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this pattern before. The name is a bit creepy, but they sure are cute.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of the coffin papers and a template, just need to find the time to mess with them.
