Dots on Dots
It’s my turn for the Dots on Dots Blog Hop. Many thanks to Corrie and Madame Samm for hosting another awesome hop.
I love dots. I have a lot of dots in my stash but I still continue to buy them…
Here is the block I stitched yesterday.
 |
| English paper Piecing |
For the first time, instead of basting the fabric to the paper templates, I used a glue pen (purchased from Romania, how cool is that!).
I loved working with it – in no time I had all the pieces ready to sew. But I confess – this task is boring!
And pulling out the paper templates took me a while.
I love this quick option, it is fabulous for a small project but I don’t think I would use it for a 3000 piece project.Or, who knows ?I will tell when I start a new 3000 piece project!
I am not in the best mood these days, but I enjoyed stitching this block.
Oooh I think its lovely – love todays apple too! Thanks for sharing.
It is so cute and I too love the apples! it would be a great cross stitch motif!
Apples and dots, perfect for you!
Lovely English paper piecing block, Geta!
I love your block Geta. Hope your mood improves (how could it not, with polka dots around you?) Thanks for sharing.
I love your dotty block Geta! I was interested to read your comments on the glue pen – I haven't tried one yet!
PINK! I love pink. I love your block. It looks lovely. I've never tried english paper piecing, but I am getting really tempted by the patterns on your block. I'll be back for them!
That's a lovely block and the apples are great.
Oh Geta you did a lovely paper pieced block. In Scandinavia, especially Denmark, but I am from Sweden, it is common among the quilting ladies to sew EPP. I have started a quilt top with big hexies some months ago and it is now my favorite during watching TV. But I will not try glue pen as I think it will be a hard work to remove the paper piecies.
I am a follower of your blog and I think I will soon try one of your pattern.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful dotty block

Good Morning Geta…sew nice to see you in our hop..missed you greatly…your block is lovely..reminds me of a lady bees all in pink ….
Great block and the apple of the day is wonderful!
The best application for the glue pen I have found is when I want to make a framed "framed hexagon". Since there are 2 layers to the frame and the second frame is actually being wrapped around the back to the front to make a second frame, the first set of hexes continued to slip. I used the glue pen on the second frame, but I do not have to sew through the glue.
I have been admiring your work for some time now…I pray your mood improves…Thanks for all you share. If it would improve your mood, I will email you a picture of my hexagon jacket?Thanks for the pretty pink hexie flower pictures!
Your dotty GFG is lovely!
I love the 3D effect you've created, as well as the pink shades! Beautiful block!
Your block is so cute. It looks like a girly soccer ball to me. Love those apples too. Very dot appropriate.
Beautiful block!
Sweet block – whether glued or stitched – I find these very hard to work on. Your stitching is just beautiful.
great job on the block, bright and cheery color choice. Love the apples. Thanks
Love your block! I like to do English Paper Piecing when I'm traveling, this would be a fun block to try, thank you for sharing. 🙂
So pretty!. I am in awe of anyone who can do English paper piecing!
Stitched by hand? Or stitched by machine? Wow that is beautiful. I don't know that I would be too thrilled with peeling the glue off either unless it was a temporary bond like post it notes.. maybe. The block, like everything you do is just fantastic!!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful project…and those apples? oh, my!!
Your block is great! Nice work.
Very pretty! blessings, marlene
Cute block. I just have to try English paper piecing one of these days.
Hi!!! Your block is very pretty!!! I like the apples too!!!
really neat block. well done.
I really like your hexagon block! I use glue sticks all the time when quilting! I buy them by the case! (I have also used the SewLine Glue pens similar to what you bought from Romania, but available in the US. They're a lot less messy!) Great job!
I wouldn't even attempt a block like this–it's a beautiful block! Thanks for sharing and I hope your mood changes soon. :O)
WOW! I love your block. I have some hexagon that I would love to try on a pattern like this. I visited Romania last year and had the BEST time. The food was wonderful too. I looked at your posts and love what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Your block is wonderful!
Your Paperpieced block is adorable , love the colors you have chosen. Thanks for sharing.
Wow…fabulous idea. I am working on a block for the Craftsy block of the month last night using the English Paper Piecing. After just a few hexagon…I have a new respect for those quilts made of hexies. Thanks for sharing.
Geta, your projects always amaze me. Your English paper piecing is fabulous and so are all the little apple you have been featuring! Thanks!
I have admired your projects for a long time. You do wonderful work. (Like your apple a day series)
Love your circle block. So pretty. And those apples are adorable.
Those apples are adorable!!! Great block!

A touch of glue and BIG hexies make it so much easier! Hope you begin to feel better soon. Playing in my studio usually makes me feel better!

Like others, I will pray your mood improves. I totally get it, though, your mood I mean.
God grant you peace and a quiet spirit and mental and spiritual healing, letting all the negative go, leaving you empty to be filled with joy.
I just can't get into paper pieces or english hexes. I don't like working with the papers eother. Good looking little block though!

I'm a new follower to your blog.
Lovely block! It is very cheery and I hope it cheers you up!!!
Great little Hexie block. Didn't know you could get dotty apples!
Geta, I sorry to hear your mood is off. Sometimes a cheery block like yours can help lift one's spirits. The block is really darling and looks complicated. I think I'll try a fabric glue for my next pp block. Thanks for the tip.
Oh how fun! I love the hexagon quilt and am working on a king sized one now. I may die before it's done, but I sure have enjoyed doing it.
Your hexie block is very pretty! I like your apple of the day too.
Loved your super cute block!!
Thanks for sharing your block. I love that pink and grey color combination.
What a pretty pink block! I love the apples too 🙂
Your English paper piecing is lovely. I just don't have the patience to do them. Love those apples.
finally! someone who isn't drooling over all the hexagons!! I thought it was just me who found them too time-consuming and repetitive. But then, you have so many other projects that the rest of us wouldn't even attempt to do!! YOur talent know no boundaries!
Beautiful block Geta! All of your work is always so wonderful!
I love your block!! It's gorgeous!!!!
Awww… this is so pinkin' cute!! 😉 Thanks for sharing
ps I love those little apples – sweet!
Such a beautiful block, I don't think I could even manage a single block, never mind 3000 pieces!
Love your dotty blocks and apples!!! Thanks for sharing and being a part of the hop!
You did a fabulous job on your block! Thanks for sharing.
