Paula Nadelstern snowflakes
Hi Everyone -
I want to tackle a snowflake from Paula Nadelstern's snowflake book. It's so scary that I am wondering if there might be a couple of other people who want to do this together - a snowflake support group? :) Lainey |
I'm in! I just ordered the book so don't get too far ahead.
|
I just looked this book up on amazon, it looks challenging. Are they paper-pieced?

Patti and Micha -
I have been studying these snowflakes online and just got the book. It looks like astrophysics, but I don't care, I want to do it. It seems to be very elaborate piecing? I have to read the book tonight. OK, so: STEP ONE: Read the book. We may need serious support just to get through it, but let's see how it goes. Lainey |
Many of her patterns need serious support to get through them and people do!

I ordered the book. I'll let you know after I get it if I'll join you or this will go in the "eye candy only" portion of my quilting book library.

Well, I read about twenty pages of Paula's snowflake book last night. It is clearly and very well written, so I feel optimistic that I will be able to understand her instructions. She has a nice, useful supply list - I will need a few things but not anything that unusual other than two protractors and some specialty graph paper.
I stare and stare at her photos of the snowflakes - they are quite unbelievable to me. She says in the intro that she was choosing between a more generalized book or a true how-to - and she chose the how-to. I'm so grateful to her for making this choice. So...I'm happy with things so far! Lainey |
The snowflakes look amazing. One looked like it used a "lacey" fabric. Have you started collecting fabrics yet?

But I mean how does she get some of those fuzzy tentacle things that look exactly like snowflake photos? |
I have ordered the book. I'm up for the challenge. I want to try at least...one... maybe more, we'll see.
