Looking for a reason to master foundation piecing?

I came across this site on flickr and fell in love with the gnomes or gnomelings as Sonja Callaghan calls them. Here is a link to her flickr pictures. Also she has a blog and that is where I was able to find the patterns. If that isn't enough...she uses the 3 patterns to teach about paper piecing.

Artisania is the name of her blog on Wordpress. I wish I could put a picture right here, but I am not sure of the copyright. Please go and see, you will be very motivated and the tutorial is really good.
