Today's post is all about
Love, True Lerve
Amy Sinibaldi's new limited edition fabric line, Paperie, brings to mind
All that is good and right with the World. Like little girls in pinafores running through the garden, picking tulips.

That Amy!! She sure is something special, and it shows in every detail of this fabric line.
From the incredibly soft hand, to the sweet detail, everything is top notch.
So I knew that I had to pull out my very best for Amy.
So, of course, I decided to try something I had never done before ;)
English Paper Piecing (EPP)
And boy, is it a blast!!! I Lerves it!!

Linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday!
I love your pillow! Especially the heart button and bow in the middle, and your co-ordinating solids are darling ��
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on making a set of placemats and coasters for my Mother for Valentine's Day (the front hopefully will look like an envelope and the back I'm going to make a few of the wonky hearts from Amy's blog)
Have a great day and I'm looking forward to your tutorial for this next week! Xx
I've only ever made hexies so I'm looking forward to your tutorial Lori. You've outdone yourself, this is gorgeous! I envision a quilt for q baby girl with this line!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to create a storybook using this line.
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful! It is so lovely, your pillow! I would love to make curtains for my sewingroom with paperie.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, your pillow is beautiful. This is some of the prettiest fabric I have seen in awhile. I bought some as soon as I saw it on someone's blog, probably Nana Company. The picking blossoms fabric is perfect for a little girl's dress, and since my daughter just had a baby girl after two boys, that is what I want to make of it. I am in search of the perfect dress pattern. It will need a full-ish skirt for twirling. Baby is only two weeks old so I have some time.
ReplyDeleteI am in desperate need of a good sized bag to carry my crochet it, so I would definitely make myself a bag - with lots of good sized pockets for storage.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a bag for my iPad.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a little dress for my grand daughter. I am a new gramma and she is the cutest baby ever, I absolutely adore your Pillow. Maybe I should make one of those too
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love those kitty paws♥️
DeleteI've been a fan of Amy's blog for years and love her fabric line! I am planning to make a little smocked dress for my granddaughters. I'm new to your blog and will definitely come back next week to view your tutorial! Very pretty pillow - love it! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win too!
ReplyDeleteLori love the pillow! I would make a little girl's apron sweet material.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric, and great job on the pillow! This is my first time at your blog, will definitely be back for the tutorial on the pillow:) I have a few things on my list that I would like to make with paperie, but something that I haven't seen on anyone's blog yet is the quilted teddy bear pillow in Amy's sweetly stiched book. I have made 2 versions of that pillow already, but both for boys. I think paperie would be so adorable for this pillow:)
ReplyDeleteThis fabric line is really calling to new Grandmas! My first granddaughter is 9 months now, and I would love to make a sundress and bonnet to match out of Paperie. It is luscious fabric - I have some on my shelf, but it is so lovely, I already feel the need for more! I LOVE your pillow, and will be back next week for your tutorial. Thanks for offering it!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. And with Ami's Fabrics it is stunning. Thanks for being a part of the tour! Now to find some of this fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love this fabric line! I have been trying to figure out something amazing to make with it. I'm thinking a table runner with some pinwheels. I've also never tackled prairie points, so maybe incorporating some of those!

ReplyDeleteI love the pillow you made! I would love to win the fabric and add to my EPP 1" hexagon quilt. I usually sew for other people but this project is all for me;) One of those projects I'm sure won't be done for some time to come (years maybe) but I love how it is coming together with all the different fabrics I have used on other projects and gifts.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is beautiful and I look forward to the tutorial! I plan to make a mini quilt with a heart and a cute little house and perhaps some stars or flying geese. Something cute and unique like Amy's fabric!
ReplyDeleteA quilt for my soon to be born granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteangmil@charter.net
That does it! Now I have finally found a project that makes me want to try EPP. I honestly didn't think much of this fabric collection when I first saw it. That's the beauty of blog hops because now, after seeing everyone's projects, i love it! It screams little girl quilt to me.

ReplyDeleteI love your pillow!! Beautiful! All those little pieces...hand pieced no less, very impressive and gorgeous! I want to make a pineapple block pillow with this lovely collection. I will put a half-hearted block in the center. kogrady@cableone.net
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt, of course! But since I am not creative, that is always my answer...
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is wonderful, and I never would have thought to add that little button to the center of the pillow - perfect finishing touch!
Amy's collection is prefect timing, the colors coordinate with my friend's baby nursery. I would make a Paperie gift basket for the shower to put goodies in for the baby and later to be used in the nursery!
ReplyDeleteI love the fresh and sweet prints in Amy's new collection! I would make a baby quilt in a Pinwheel pattern and with Prairie Points, I can picture it in my mind!!
ReplyDeleteI love Paperie & I am going to make a quilt , probably an x and plus quilt. And maybe some pillowcases Bc the fabric is just so soft
ReplyDeleteI really want to use this fabric...but I don't want to cut it...I know it will be just as beautiful, even more so once it becomes a new creation...I want it to be seen...I am thinking of a few projects a wall hanging, perhaps of a few stars, some of the more complicated piecing ones. Sigh I know I will find the right project soon!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make some drawstring pouch with the lovely fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow! I want to make some baby accessories such as patchwork bibs, soft booties and sweet quilts.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is getting married in June and I would love to use especially the blues and low volume peachie pinks in her ring bearer pillow (navy/silver are wedding colors)- incorporating them in the linen pieced top that will have silk ribbon embellishments along with a verse and their names and wedding dates!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun line; I like every piece of it and I love what youve done with it. Isnt EPP great?! I cant get enough honestly! Thank you for the lovely giveaway. I would love to make the smitten quilt out of these. I think that pattern is screaming for soft colours with the occasional pop (the blues!) and I love that it is EPP.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is spectacular! I am so in love with this fabric collection. I would like to make some divided baskets to store embroidery supplies. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is amazing! All that hand sewing is so worth the final product! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI want to mix paper's with vintage linens to make a tote bag.
ReplyDeleteJUST LOVE YOUR 'LIL HEXIES>LOVE ALL YOUR PROJECTS! AFTER A GREAT DEAL OF FONDLING I'LL MAKE A SMALL QUILT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLOG+GIVEAWAY TOO!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1214@gmail.com
I have loved this fabric line from the minute I saw it!! Soft, subtle and stunning. My favorite fabric in the line is the Happily Ever After Heart print in the middle of your gorgeous pillow. I would make a heart quilt featuring the colors in that print!! ❤️
ReplyDeleteLoove your EPP pillow! You picked awesome solids to go with Amy's prints! I would love to make a little pinafore dress for my niece who is soon 18 months old and so dang cute!

ReplyDeleteFirst of all I'd have to look at it, love on it, and pet it. Then, I might make some lovely curtains for my sewing room, or a wall hanging for right in front of my sewing machine, or one of those zippered bags I've been wanting to try. The possibilities are endless!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd make a baby quilt for Edith!

ReplyDeleteI'm dying to make a mini quilt to hang on the wall in my bedroom so I would love to use it for that- or a sweet dress for my daughter ��
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely paperie project. I am new to EPP as well but love it too. My paperie project is going to be all about my desktop so that I can be reminded of my love of sewing while working. Mousepad, pen and pencil organizer, envelope style folders, coaster, etc..
ReplyDeleteI would make a cute doll quilt for my niece.
ReplyDeletePaper piecing is for sure on my list of things to try. Beautiful pillow!! I would make a cute little pinafore dress for my daughter's doll and a shirt for her sock monkey. I think the Ruffled halter top from Oliver and S would be adorable in one of the Paperie fabrics too. So many possibilities!! Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteEpp project. I have a purse pattern that would be great for this beautiful fabric. It has hexies on it.
ReplyDeleteDmac5958ataoldotcom
I've been on a kick these days with low-volume scrappy backgrounds, and there are some great low-volume prints in here. I will probably split the pack into low-volume and darker value and use the low-volumes in a plus quilt and the darker ones in a charity quilt.
ReplyDeleteI would make a cute table topper for Valentine's Day. I love the soft colors.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some sweet pillows for my daughter. This fabric is just so sweet.

ReplyDeleteYour Pillow of Lerve is gorgeous and I am looking forward to your tutorial!😊 I'd like to make some pretty headbands and some teeny tiny pincushions with a little ribbon attached so they can be looped on scissors.

ReplyDeletePaperie fabrics would mingle so well with my treasured hankies from my mom. I would cut up the hankies to make a patchwork table runner with Paperie. I also have some old buttons from my grandmother that I would add along the edging.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow is beautiful, as is this line of fabric. I would use this fabric for some quilty blocks from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the giveaway and congratulations on your great and inspiring work.
I love your pillow! So sharp and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love that line of fabrics. I have been eyeing them lately. I would make my daughter a pencil and notebook case. See you next Friday!
Your pillow is amazing, as are those Paperie fabrics! I would have to make something simple, squaes(checkerboard) or triangles, and not too fussy, just sweet and pretty...a small throw, or a cushion would be nice :)
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow! I would make a little smock top for my new grand baby Sienna!
ReplyDeleteOh my. So many great ideas. Hearts? Pillow? Pincushion? Your pillow is pretty cool! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteSomething sweet for my grand daughter..... A quilt, maybe a bib, diaper cover.... Diaper changing bag... Love it all!
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing up this line to use in my Gypsy Wife quilt. I am creating one with a spring, floral, vibe, and this line is perfect in colour. Unfortunately its not in NZ yet, and our exchange rate is horrific against the US dollar at the moment, so it will not be happening....unless I win some. Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteId make a reader cover for my sister AND a sweet throw for the porch with paperie squared joined together by vanilla crochet and rosebuds at each joining!
ReplyDeleteHahaha!! Hard to resist!!!
DeletePs, sis, did you know that you're a no reply blogger? Get that changed so people can answer you back. Not that you don't get enough of that from me ;) XX!
I would want to admire it in its unused form for a bit, I like to just admire pretty fabric for awhile. And then I think I would make a soft cushion with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I'd make a little "book" wallhanging, using this precious fabric and the paper pieced book pattern I've been trying to convince myself to attempt for the past few years. I'm sure you know the one. This is the fabric that is so darling it might push me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI'm in the mode of fabric baskets everywhere in my home, an Paperie will compliment every room. Manuscript in Navy for lining the baskets for depth.
I'm getting more and more hooked on the pink and navy combo's.
schimmel(dot)db(at)gmail(dot)com
Keep on lerving your squishy piller:)
Lovely. Simply lovely. I would first enjoy the fabric in all it's wholeness and place in a small open wooden antique drawer for all to see. I would then cut it up for some hexagon english paper piecing and purchase yardage for a new ironing board cover, ereader cover and mini doll quilt....savoring even the tiniest scraps in my blue jar. junglelife at cfl dot rr dot com
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt with the fabrics, it's very pretty, maybe a pincushion or two, Lorraine Isaac
ReplyDeleteWell currently I cant stop making some SweetPea Pods, so I would definitely whip up 2 or 10 of those. :) But I have some mini quilt patterns in mind that would be perfect with this fabric!! :) Thanks for the giveaway and I just love your EPP pillow! :)
