I needed a break from my efforts in my queendom and surfed a little on the Internet. Somehow ended up at
claudias-quilts.de
It's a very nice German site (but with some English). This is part of a BOM called Flower Power. I really like the looks of it. Never really tried paper piecing. So I had to try it. There is also a good free tutorial for this technique.
I think for my first try it's not bad. Used a lot of scraps. The pattern is for a 8 x 8 inch finished block. I copied the pattern 25 % enlarged and my block is 10 x 10 inches (10 1/2 x 10 1/2 unfinished). Perfect!
I can't wait to make some more.
Each month's pattern is free for one month and when the new month is posted the "old" pattern is available for 2 Euros (PayPal). The pattern arrives within minutes in your email. I wished I had known about all of this earlier! I found June on the 30th, printed it but didn't safe it because I didn't realize. The next day it was gone. Oh well. So I bought some of them. This is January! Can't wait to make the others!
Have a look at claudias-quilts.de. It's eye candy!
I realized there is so much "lace talk" and "quilt talk" on my main blog which not everybody might enjoy. So ... the main blog will be "private stuff" like family and travel. It will take a while but I want to share my lace and quilt patterns with you. .......... I want to encourage you to leave a comment.I like to know what you think. Was something helpful? Do you have a different opinion?
