EPP Part One (she said optimistically)

I know a handful of quilters who have jumped on the EPP bandwagon. There's Blogless Bobbi who is a kind of a guru for the technique and Hibernating Blog Marsha who has a gorgeous hexagonal flimsy that she's been working on for, I think, three years; there's Donna who does Lucy Boston, and so many more. I have been filled with admiration at all of their efforts. Being a Dresden fan (I think I've made two, maybe three of 'em), when I saw this book, I bought it, determined to plunge in.

That was a year and a half ago, friends, and I'm still perched on the diving board. And I don't know why.

The instructions in the book are very clear. And I've got the guru as a close (geographically, relationally, etc.) friend. There's a twice-a-month group that meets about a half-hour away at a time that is convenient for me. The idea of a neat little self-contained portable project holds enormous appeal.

So what's the hang up?

I wish I knew.
