Welcome to our new ladies. Love having you on board.

I think I am running this show, but since I'm 180º from a control freak, I have turned this over to Lesley (she's without internet this weekend), Elle & Patti - the chatty one who thinks she's something as she finished her Dear Jane quilt yesterday and those of us behind her are sucking in her dust!!!

Seriously, these are the greatest friends a quilter could have - really!!! I am the official list keeper, not that I'm keeping track of everyone, but more of making a journal that lists all sorts of things. Lesley had mentioned that she wished she had made a list of all the great stuff she has on her PDA, but now with 445 pages, it's a daunting chore, so we're stuck trying to remember.

Therefore, I am trying to keep track of stuff that's been posted to this thread for future reference.

That's soooo pretty Rebecca!

Well caught up with you all chatting AGAIN. every morning I have a couple of pages to read, all good stuff. I like that idea Patti and have saved that search. That is really great stuff.

I also like I think the idea of printing it off and then cutting out the shapes, only fault I can find with that is, your design won´t be as laid out inthe book, it might squiff a bit and it really is necessary to have it all centralised especially when you get to the sewing part......ask me how I know that. My trial block is squiffy just for that reason. Unless I have missed something within your idea it does sound great though.

Welcome to all the newcomers. We really have a lovely quilting bee here and I am so looking forward to seeing our very first blocks. Getting organised with the new QAYG idea and have thought how I can get it up and running quicker.

Question shall I put the tute here on the board or in the Tutorial section what all y'all think lol

if you have something that i use "wash-away applique sheets" http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...ique+sheets.do you can put it on your fabric and then not worry because it is water soluble.

I also personally would prefer the tutorials here so I don't have to look in another place for me.

Debe I understand that you can have wash away sheets and thats what I think it was inanome is going to use, but she suggested cutting the pieces out of the wash away and thats what I was wondering about. I may have misunderstood though

Elle

I have jsut read it again and now I understand Inanomi you printed it on the fusible and with the excess ink you printed first onto you block THEN you cut out the fusible .....gosh I am a thicko this morning.

Yep thats a great idea will try that out too, its going to cut out a load of work.

actually though expensive; i think i am going to do both...so i get the shapes right and the placement...anything to make it easier

I so agree Debi, anything that makes doing this AOTH easier is welcome

hi, i'm waiting on my book to arrive through the post... looking forwards to this, i love applique, this will certainly be MY quilt!! i'm not giving this one away!!! :)

Welcome Jaquie, where in Scotland are you. I am a native, but now retired to Spain. Born near Edinburgh.

By the way Ducky I love the brown, didn´t see the denim though, but both would make good backgrounds. I can see the denim with loads of yellows oranges,
