FROM PHOTO TO PATTERN
Remember this photo from Silent Sunday?
Peggy R has worked her magic on it and created a Paper Pieced Heron for all of us at The Inbox Jaunt!
This gorgeous pattern can be made with only nine colors! (For those of us who are newbies to paper-piecing, that seems manageable!)
You can download the entire pattern and color chart below. (Use the “back button” to return to The Inbox Jaunt).
The finished size is 7 1/2 x 10 inches as is….but, of course you can enlarge the pattern to suit your needs…

WHEN YOU MAKE THIS PATTERN
I know many of you are going to give Peggy’s patterns a try..when you do, please let us know! I’m really excited to see these gorgeous patterns come to life!
THANK YOU, PEGGY!
Two things to know about Peggy–she’s tireless AND she loves a challenge…That’s why she’s sharing these gorgeous patterns with us.
The Easter Sunrise pattern was fabulous, too! (If you missed it –see HERE)
So join me in thanking her once again: Thank YOU, Peggy!
Got to run…I’m going to print this off and choose my fabrics!

I love, love your pattern, The Heron, but as beginner to paper piecing, I really need the sequence in which the pieces are sewn. I have tried and tried, and am very frustrated. I really hope you can help.

Lori,
What is the sequence for sewing the seams? I am interested in trying the Heron. Thanks,
Lori Kennedy

I would love to make this heron but would need the order in which to sew the pieces as any patterns I’ve used before indicate this.

This paper pieced heron is just perfectly perfect for my challenge project! Each of our quilt guild members was given a fat quarter of watery-looking fabric and challenged to make something quilted, with the theme of “Superior Reflections”. Our town is located on the shore of Lake Superior. I used this pattern for the project and am very pleased with it! Am I allowed to post a photo here? Thank you for sharing this pattern!

Marilyn again, just viewed the tutorial, how magical. Now paper piecing may become my prefered method for attempting intricate designs. Well simple ones first! Thank-you so much once again. Imust try to find a stockist for your magazine, or maybe I can subscribe directly from Australia? Cheers. I am going to have a great day today.

Very few paper pieced project excite me. This does.
Roxanne
Thank you, how wonderful. My favorite paper to print on for paper piecing is Carol Doak’s Foundation paper, it tears away easily and is great to run through your printer. In case anyone is wondering what to use and are new to paper piecing.
Peggy
Make sure you look at the paper-piecing tutorial that Lori posted at the top. You don’t ever have to tear off paper…
Susan
Thank you, Peggy. I wish I could turn pictures into patterns.
