Show 909

It turned out great, Pam!

[Reetzbobeetz]

Pam that looks great. My how fast you are! I tried doing a sample block without either the ruler or the book - just watched the programme again and paused it at each step and it turned out fine. If I was doing it for real I would be a lot more careful with my sewing and cutting. ops: Now it goes into the bag of tester blocks that may get done someday :roll: Rita.

[Reetzbobeetz]

I think it looks great. I hope you make more I thought about just using my normal ruler but I have found hers to make things move along more quickly

[Reetzbobeetz]

Yes I am sure it would be quicker with the ruler, and the book, but with the postage from the US and importation tax (depending on which company delivers)I am having a moratorium on buying for a while. But at least I now know how to do it and it is not so scary anymore thanks to Gyleen Fitzgerald!

[kfstitcher]

Rita your block is great. Doesn't it feel good when you can figure out how to do it yourself? Then at least you don't have to wait till down the road when you can get the streamlined version to try. I really enjoyed Gyleen's show.

[Reetzbobeetz]

Thanks Karen. Yes I was pleased that I was able to figure it out. I really enjoyed her show too. And I just downloaded a lovely pattern of hers from the AQS newsletter - it's called 'Wish Upon A Star'. I have downloaded more patterns than I can actually do in my lifetime, but it's great fun.

[kfstitcher]

Oh my gosh! I just came back to the TQS forum from doing the exact same thing. I was wondering if I'll even remember that I have it downloaded somewhere on my computer later on.

[Reetzbobeetz]

That is such a coincidence Karen! I have a folder on my desktop just for downloaded quilting patterns and I download them straight into it. That way I always know where they have gone - or mostly! Do you think you will make Wish upon a Star? I was thinking of just using three stars to make a wall-hanging for Christmas, in Christmasy colours. Rita.

[kfstitcher]

Ooo your Christmas wallhanging idea sounds pretty. I have to admit I downloaded it "just in case" I ever want to make it. I'll look forward to seeing yours.

[Scoopie]

Well, duh! Downloading is so new to me that I didn't even think of it! So, now the "Wish Upon a Star" is in my quilt documents. And, yes, I can find it! And, I think three stars, top to bottom in Christmas colors would make a wonder Christmas panel. Or even a table runner!!! Thanks ladies!

Way to go Pam and Rita.

Love the quilt and block. I received the book and ruler yesterday, excited to try it out.

I could watch this episode over and over and over. Gyleen seems to brighten up

the day. Very lovely lady. Getting ready for 20+ plus for Thanksgiving.

happy sewing

Wish we had a "like" button for the forum. I would like everyone's comment

Here's my first pineapple block. I just cut lots of my scraps into 1.5 inch strips. So far I only have a little over 1 pound! This is going to get rid of my scraps and then some. Decided I had better made a sample block to see if this would work. It turned out great!
As you can see, mine will be a random block.

[Margo]

You even have a pieced strip!! I love it!!

[Reetzbobeetz]

I love your block Kathy - it's fun isn't it? Possibly addictive.
