My First Paper Piecing: Christmas Angel

[TeresaNJ]

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to this board, but not to the DIS! I was in a Christmas ornament swap, and came up with this adorable angel. I thought it would be easy, but took me forever, as I had to make fourteen, and got way too involved, but I think she turned out cute. What do you think?

YOU MADE 14 OF THESE!!??

She is absolutely gorgeous, and you can see from the picture how much time she had to have taken.

You're fabulous!

Thank you so much for your compliment. Yea, I had to make fourteen, crazy huh? The swap was with the other instructors for the scrapbook company I recently joined, so I wanted them to be nice, and got a little compulsive over them. As I got toward the end of making them, I got a little quicker, as I figured out how to be more organized with making them, like doing all the wings at once, and all the hair, etc., but I'll definitely rethink the next swap I do, LOL. Since not many people I know are into scrapping, my family & friends don't realize the work that goes into these things, so I thought I would share here. This is a great board, and I plan to visit frequently.

WoW! I am very impressed! She does look like a lot of work but I am sure everyone will love her!

I can't believe she was your first! She looks great. What an accomplishment, really. I buy paper piecings from e-bay all the time and i'm in such awe of the work.

That was a big job to take on for your first PP. And what a cute she is. Keep up the good work. And don't forget to sign up for our next PP swap.
