Foundation Paper Piecing For The Terrified – Week 5

When I saw this week’s block on Amy’s blog, I knew that it was perfect for one of the later stages of FPPFTT, so I asked her if it would be okay to walk you through it.  She very kindly said yes, so pop on over to download the pattern.  You’ll notice...

Foundation Paper Piecing For The Terrified Week 5 Preview

by Katy Cameron | 17.03.2012 | Foundation Paper Piecing For The Terrified

The fabulous Amy, over at During Quiet Time, very generously allowed us to use her latest free pattern, Calico Grove, to do block 5 of FPPFTT.  When I saw it I knew it would be perfect for tackling sectional blocks, and in fact 4 sets paper bases make up one block, so...

In round 2 of today's Tintagel adventures, there w In round 2 of today's Tintagel adventures, there were caves (@archiewonderdog I reckon they were full of pirates and smugglers) There were drops that one of us wasn't stupid enough to get close to. I had the key to Tintagel AND I found the holy grail, but then I also found a closed ice-cream van at the bottom of the hill, so I had to wait for LT to schlepp all the way up the hill back into the village before I got any refreshment! #jackdoestintagel #jackdoescornwall
So we went to see a castle today, except it turns So we went to see a castle today, except it turns out there isn't really a castle there (and until the 1990's they thought it was a monastery 🤷) it was very blowy and sunny (LT is glowing 😂) there were lots of big drops and scary bridges and just one castley looking bit of wall. There were funny signs, holes in the ground we shouldn't have gone down (trolls anyone?!), holey kings, cool coves and, in the end, paltry amounts of ice-cream. #jackdoestintagel #jackdoescornwall

And some spiky stuff that's meant to be good for you, but didn't look too appetising either! #jackdoestheedenproject #jackdoescornwall

Also two completely different sizes of feathered friends hoovering up any leftovers from all the people picnicking on the sea wall. Finally, my favourites from the Tate, enjoy! #jackdoesstives #jackdoescornwall
So LT wouldn't let me jump in here even without bo So LT wouldn't let me jump in here even without boats pulling in here at the harbour in St Ives. So mean! Anyway, we mooched around the beach for the morning (don't look at pic 4 @archiewonderdog 🙈🏴‍☠️) and after a crepe for lunch (no pics because seagulls), we headed round to the Tate. After that we wandered back round to the Thai takeout to wait for dinner and watched the lifeboat get a lift out to the water. #jackdoesstives #jackdoescornwall
Twas rather overcast here today, although thankful Twas rather overcast here today, although thankfully the promised rain elected not to show up. After a couple of 'big' days we chose to stay in the cottage and read this morning before popping over to Port Isaac in the afternoon. We hoofed down a big hill, then up another big hill to get the first two shots (not sure we'd want to live in those houses on the far side with the holey cliff underneath though 😱) and had an ice cream reward at the bottom, sitting on the slipway. Then we hiked all the way back up to the carpark again, so 'only' 4 miles walked and 40 flights of stairs (equivalent) climbed today on our relaxing day off 😂 #jackdoesportisaac #jackdoescornwall
In the vertical shots from today, somebody insiste In the vertical shots from today, somebody insisted we had ice-cream for lunch from the last cafe before we dropped off the end of the world in solidarity with the bears in the window. So here is somebody with his mint choc chip ice-cream in front of the pointy bit. There's a few more from St Michael's Mount too, including some very weird footprints - can you imagine finding shoes for that pair? #jackdoeslandsend #jackdoesstmichaelsmount #jackdoesmarazion #jackdoescornwall
