Thanks for all the well wishes and yes they were in American Patchwork Quilting aroun November I think. My quilt group is working on them together. I had never sewn with batiks before so it was definatley a different medium. I have been sewing for quite a while but really have gotten into quilting in the past few months.

Hi everyone!! I'm open to a big family. I just have the DUH factor happening. I can't seem to get myself (even with the help of TK) to the page to find out who needs adopting. I've done a little bit of everything. But, CANNOT and I mean CANNOT do scrappy. Trying to wrap my head around this, I guess I'm sort of matchy matchy. Working on this area though!! I've done the basics, curved piecing, PP, applique, some machine quilting and mostly hand-quilting. If I can help anyone, please just PM me!! I'm sure the other mommies feel the same way. If someone meets your interest, PM them! They may not be able to find the page either!! :lol: :lol: :oops:

You are doing a great job!!!!!
Suggestion: get some fairly stiff pellon, and cut it to go into your printer. Print your pattern on the pellon. Then, when you fold your piecing pattern to attach your next fabric--leave the fold in the pattern, and take your matched pieces to you machine, and sew right next to the pattern, but not on it. Put a dot of glue baste it ,and fold the pattern over your sewn fabric pieces, and go to you next line, repeating the same process,(fold, sew as close to the folded pattern as you can, dot glue, and go on.) that way you can make the piece, have the accuracy of paper piecing, and not have to tear away the paper. The pattern can be used many times over.
