    Bailey: WOW!!!!! It's beautiful!!!! I am pacing myself, doing one template a night. That's all my psyche can handle.lol I have done more "unsewing" than sewing. This is quite a challenge for me. Angles, ICK! Anyone have any recommendations for a GREAT PP book? I did the tutorial on the Cache, but boy there is alot that is not covered, and I seem to be to dense to figure out when I have done it wrong once and ripped it out, I have to do it wrong 3 more times! Maybe my left side of the brain doesn't work so well...lol

    That is the way I learned to PP. Only instead of scoring with the seam ripper, I use a tracing wheel and lightly go over the lines before folding them all like in the tut. Also I use a "1/4 inch" ruler that has a little lip on it to go up next to the folded paper to cut the 1/4 inch seam. (the picture below). Another perk to this tutorial, is that you can use the pattern possibly up to 4 times before it won't stick down any more since you are not sewing on the lines, only sewing just next to them. Also saves from having to rip all the paper from the stitching.

    GREAT TUTORIAL!

    HINT; If you want the porch posts to show up; do not use the same color for the house that you are using for the posts.

    I just watched the slideshow. Many thanks to the creator!
    They are all so wonderful and fun to look at each in turn. The ideas are so creative and inspiring. Great job everyone. Is it March yet? LOL

    This one was a lot of work and unsewing but it's finally done. Somehow my tree ended up a little off from the pattern but I made it work. Some wonkiness going on but hopefully not too noticeable!
