Ann Petersen - paper piecing with freezer paper

[daisyandjack]

thank you so much The Quilt Show for having this segment about using freezer paper for paper piecing - I love the idea of paper piecing but haven't had a great deal of success but today I made a new york beauty block using Ann's freezer paper method from Episode 1211 and it is amazing - so quick and easy and no paper to try and peel off !! and its fabulous to be able to press the seams open !
thanks so much - I love The Quilt Show

Ann Petersen will be speaking at League of Northern Colorado Quilters (LNCQ) on Monday night (7:00 p.m. MDT) I am not a member, but you can believe that I will be there! You can check out their web site for location information, etc. [www.lncq.org] The meeting is in Fort Collins, Colorado.


"June 3, 2013: Fix It, Mistakes I Have Made - Lecture by Ann Petersen who says some of her best quilts were better due to needing to fix a mistake. She will show these quilts and explain what went wrong and show she made the quilt better."

Diane Frank

Post meeting note

Ann included the quilt sample that she made for the quilt show episode...to show how she made a mistake and how she fixed it. At least 3 TQS members know what she did because we were in the audience. Fixing mistakes, gotta love it.

What a fantastic block. I must try it too.Marcia

Daisyandjack, I assume you want to use those units in New York Beauty blocks, if you want to sew these units together into a circle you will have four seams in the background fabric. If you want to try that, you might want to watch my videos about paper piecing the current BOM to see how to eliminate those seams.

Here is the one about using freezer paper for the foundation: learn/classrooms/

And here is the one about piecing together circles units and setting them into the background: learn/classrooms/

Wow Margo! Thanks. Great videos.

Thanks!

I am looking forward to Ann's presentation.

I am also looking forward to being able to watch the shows again. It has been very frustrating to watch the circle go around and around...
It's not just the quilt show that is giving me the trouble...that is why I am getting my computer serviced TODAY!
