Jan, I like your Uncle Homer too! I have to go through the book myself...I always forget how to do things that are really easy if I don't use it all the time. I just need to find TIME!!!!
|
actually, its a good idea for the people who want to get their feet wet to do all the super easy ones ahead of time.
i put all the super easy blocks and triangles in december (the 1st 2 weeks) so if you do them now before we even start you'll be able to have the entire month of december off. |
Uncle Homer looks good Janstar

Think I'll wait 'till the party begins.
|
I have some other stuff I committed to doing also...I think I'm going to try to wait until the party starts to do mine...maybe... :wink:

I went to a paper supply company yesterday and bought a pack of 500 pieces of velumm (I know this is spelled wrong...being lazy) and it was $40 with tax. I am using it for some other quilts I'm doing, but certainly this is not cheap. If anyone is having trouble finding the small amount of velum paper they need for a reasonable cost, I'm happy to get another pack, and sell it in bundles of what you need for cost (plus shipping/mailing which can't be too much). Just let me know and I can put a packet together for you.

I just use ordinary paper for the printer, works for me. I use a tiny stitch on my machine and havenīt had a problem so far. Tissue paper or Tracing paper works well too.
I am finding these blocks addictive, anyone else finding that ? Elle |
I have avoided starting. I know I will get lost once I do and I need to stay found for now. Klue did you use the difficulty sheet from the software or did you adjust it like we had talked about?

I found the tracing papaer that someone recommended on another Jane thread. Its in the kids "art" section at Wally's....about $1.something for 40 sheets. Its not quite as flimsy as the vellumn (which I've always used), but works great. It comes in a tablet you can tear out the sheets and run them through your printer.
Let me go get it..to see what its actually called....BRB.... IK...by Mead...its Academie Tracing Paper...mediumweight Paper |
That's funny as I just bought a tablet of tracing paper for the kids (they are into tracing and coloring spongebob pictures right now!) and thought it might work nicely. I haven't done the math, but sounds like it's cheaper. I'll try and piece and see what I like better. The tracing paper actually seems flimsier than the velum to me...
