Good morning everyone! Clue for day: She loves to quilt!
:D :D :D :D My hint for today, is no hint that my Secret Santa receiver might figure out!!:D I want to surprise whoever she is!! :D :D :D :D |
Haven't posted in a while......for my SS I know I didn't give any help when I signed up (kinda last minute and did it in a hurry), but here's more. I like purples and teals, bright colors. I'm still too chicken to try anything complicated! I could use a good pair of scissors, a seam ripper (or 3-LOL). I haven't tried fmq, but have been interested in starting with a border stencil and see how I can do with that (I just need to follow a pattern or guideline, something about doing it without makes me nervous), marking pens that wash out. I like odd pincushions (homemade too), angels and windchimes. I hope these ideas help (if you get on the board).

What Nelco wants is called the Add-A-Quarter ruler. It comes in 6" and 12" long -- I have a 6" and think a 12" would get in the way. This ruler is absolutely invaluable for paper piecing. I love love love paper piecing, I know some of you hate it, but I think it is fabulous for accuracy and intricacy.

Me too Neesie! I especially love it when I have scraps and leftovers turn into beautiful stars and scrappy quilts. I was once told that this was a free quilt. Heck no! It is a bonus quilt but I paid for every peice of it...salvage to salvage! I do so love quilting!!!!!

Well, today was the day. I tried out my new PP ruler with the 1/4" lip on it. It is fantastic. Worth every penny I paid for it. (Should have bought it on Amazon! But, I didn't. I was in a hurry for it.) My Bee Block practically made itself. And the video tutorial was fabulous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv2gKMx9CCM
Now, that being said.... I didn't account for user error. I bought fabric I hated. And, found out it was kinda of thin. Problem 1. Problem 2, same problem as problem 1, only, it was a white print fabric. Then of course, I was using the free pattern "Circle of Geese" from here: http://piecebynumber.com/circleofgeese.htm. Well, half my geese went clockwise and the other half went counter clockwise. :D Yep, I will be re-doing the entire block tomorrow including new fabric. But, the 1/4" PP ruler worked fantastic! I highly recommend it.:) |
