Thread: JEWELED FOREST Pattern from McCalls

Thanks for keeping us updated. When I went to the site to email my request it wouldn't even take it. Said there was an error. I'm sure the error was 100's of requests! LOL

Does someone have a picture of the this quilt? I would love to see it, even though I didn't get the pattern.

I thought that you all might like to know what is going on with our requests for that pattern


Hi, Marcia!



I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Right now I have hundreds of requests and I’m trying to get back to everyone as quickly as I can, but Fall Market and Festival just ended and I was “holding down the fort” while everyone was away. We are trying to figure out a way to get the patterns to everyone more quickly based on how much time is involved with copying and mailing patterns. As soon as I know what we can do, I will get back to you. We will honor all requests we receive.



Again, I apologize for the delay.



Sincerely,

Did you end up getting the pattern in the end? Is it a .pdf? That would've been so much easier for them...

mccall's response is a bit puzzling. they have this pattern in a digital download available.... unless it's not. perhaps the download is nor working.

THANK YOU for the link! I was hoping I could find someplace to spend my $$$ on this little beauty! Thanks, thanks, thanks!

My angles may not be exactly the same and I opted for 4 tiers in my trees instead of the 3 on the Jeweled forest blocks I have seen. By drafting my own I could make it the exact size I needed. Here is where I used it, the pine trees on the sides. I also drafted the top and bottom trees too:

What a fabulous quilt! I'm too dumb to draw my own so look like I'll be giving McCall's $7!

some quilters can see their way to drafting their own patterns and some cannot. what seems easy for one person is not necessarily so for another. just like some quilters make their quilts from patterns and some do not. i can draft my own so i rarely buy patterns but i know that others don't have the interest or inclination to draft patterns.... so for those folks luckily they can buy patterns.

it's a good thing that there are many choices available for all the individual quilters out there.
