epp coffins ...

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

  7. Oh, I'm a bit jealous. Here in Germany it's been raining much for the last days.
    I 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

  8. 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.

  9. Love 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.
