Oh I love bird houses...this is so much fun, waiting to see what the next block will be.

Janet I am so with you the PP, I have so avoided it.Then my whole mood dropped when I saw the very first BOM was PP. Are we allowed to just use fusible? it wouldn't be PP it would be applique...is that breaking any sort of rules? Gosh I could have my church finished & post a pic if I could do fusible.

I had never done PP and thought it was something I would not like. I tried it on the BOM church and love it! Can't stop trying more patterns! I even converted an applique pattern to a PP one!

There are many free BOM online and I collect the ones that I like. A few are: Favorite Flowers BOM by Debbie Mumm, Fiesta BOM at Fatcat patterns, Granny's Hankie BOM, Home, Sweet Home BOM, Jewels in the Crown BOM and Summer Daze BOM and Purses by With Needle and Thread BOM. I am just addicted but do not like to buy patterns when there are so many free ones online. That's all the more fabric that I can buy. Maybe some of you are interested in these. They are still free because it is still January. Some are only posted for 1 month before you have to pay for them. Others are left up for a couple of months. I hope this info helps some of you.

HELP!!
I can't get the pages for the church template to print out the same size. One is 1", the other is 1 1/4" and the last one is less than an inch. I have checked and I don't have "scale to fit" checkmarked. Could it be because this is printout like a photo? And if yes, what do I do? Thanks for any help given!!
