    Is anyone experienced with her designs? I love her new site because
    1. I have always liked her patterns and
    2. she now offers them individually in a print it now PDF without having to buy a book for 20-30 bucks with many patterns I will never use. Also if you join her site for a fee all of the patterns are at least half price and not to mention all of the freebies.

    I did purchace a couple and after reading over them they seem complicated. Yet they are stated as not being too difficult. Just wondering if anyone here has made any of her patterns.

    I have one of her books and though the patterns are beautiful, they seem to be very complex. Have not made any of her quilts yet.

    I have used an applique pattern from her & have a few other patterns of hers. I liked the one I did. Just need more time for the others.

    I haven't made any of her patterns, but I love her Angler 2 doodad - Another one of those notions that really is very, very helpful, and easy to use.

    I've never regretted buying it - like the drawer full of other notions I've bought and never used.

    I have an Angler 2 for each machine. Love it!

    I have never made one of her quilts, but have a book and would not say they are "easy". "That's not to say they are difficult,maybe not a first choice for beginners.

    I made this one, which I think she lists as a fairly easy pattern. I have only been quilting for around 2 years and found that if you are organised it wasn't too bad. I had little bags which I put all the pieces in with a label to tell me which piece was which, and I found that to be helpful.

    That is very cute, she has that as a free pattern right now. Yes she stresses keeping your fabric organized as one of the keys to success,

    I tried ONE Pam Bono pattern. To make a long story short, it is 70% done but will NEVER be completed, and to this day I would rather be a quadruple amputee than ever do another Pam Bono. Even her name makes me nauseous.

    I joined the club and just started a block tonight. It is the first one I have ever done and I hope it is not to difficult. The designs are beautiful.

    I have made several of her patterns. While not hard, there's a million pieces to assemble. Just follow the instructions carefully, put pieces in baggies and you should be ok.
