I was helping a friend find some interesting tulip patterns and I came across this website that has a great tute on a potted tulip. It's written in Chinese, but it's self-explanatory with all the great pics. Here's the link:

;) Check it out!

It really is cute.

It really is a lovely tulip and you are right that it is self-explanatory. Another item on my 'I want to try this' list!

I love this tute in chinese ,I wish i can print the pattern, thank u

This is cute - I love the way the folded pieces give the curves and the 3D effect.

I love it....def on my list of projects to make....thanks

Thanks for sharing, it is a beautiful one.

You can click on the PDF icon below the picture of the finished product

Robin, thanks for the link. What a little cutie this one is.

Some browers have a language translator. Mine is in the upper right hand cornor. I was able to print the tute in English. Loved the idea and pattern. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing ....... really cute wallhanging!

thanks - tulips are my favorite! this one is going near the top of my list.

If you are using Google for the QB newsletter, you will find a translate button in the header box. But since every computer is different, use help for more information.
Lovely pattern, Thanks for posting.

Thank you, I used my translate button and voila!, there it was in English. Really cute.

Thanks so much very nice tute, do not need english to understand it

I really like the tut. I thought it was very well illustrated.

Thank you this is one to make

Thank you....This is a really neat site....I have a "translate" button on my Google Toolbar and was able to get it in English.......Thanks again!!

That is really cute. I have a 12 year old niece from China. She was addopted 3 years ago & is wanting to learn to sew. I'll have to send my DS this site. I think that she will love it.

Your welcome, everyone! Thanks to all for the help you give each other. You don't really need to translate as the pics are obvious of the steps to do, but it's nice to translate it also. I tried that day using their translator service but it didn't work for me. I was actually looking for a non-PP tulip pattern for my friend and even though it was a PP one, she loved it and I thought it was a great mini and tute -- too good to pass up! Said she could follow it with just the pics. For those who need it translated, just click on 'page', then click on MS' Translator Service with Live Search and that should do it. I think I used the one at their site but didn't work for me. Thank you, also, to the ladies providing the other link!

If you like folded flowers, I found another link that is great and I'll include it here in case you haven't seen it yet. If we couldn't find any good tulip patterns, it meant I would be designing something along the folded 3-D type. Now I don't have to do that! These curved parts look great like K3N pointed out. I'll add the other link for you as soon as I get it.

Thanks everyone! A great project to go near the top of the list!

Here's the other tulip tute we loved!

A special thank you to Daisylil and Candy Apple Quilts for providing that nice link! That tiny tulip is so cute! ;) 8-)

I believe you can print the pattern by rt. clicking on 'download' written at the bottom of the picture and installing pdf format if you don't already have it. Only takes a min. to install. It'll take you right there. The mini is adorable!

:D

p.s. be sure and translate it first into your language; you click on 'page', then click on 'encoding', click on 'more', click on 'arabic', click on 'right-to-left document' and 'enter.' Not sure though what computer you have. Arabic is translated for 4 diff. types of computers. Wish you luck.

That is so cute going to try it someday

It amazes me how quickly you can find an answer to almost anything on this wonderful board. Got this site and even an idea for a gun purse today. Love you all...Glenda

Thanks for sharing that is so very nice.

Cute pattern for a 3D tulip-Thanks

The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words, applies here. Jan

I notice they have video tutorials here as well

Your welcome, everyone! I just recently found these so will always remember to post here in links if I find others that I know would be of great interest! :-D :-D ;) ;)

p.s. that's also great about the videos available to at the link daisylil suggested!

You can let Google translate this. I just did it and can read the whole thing perfectly.

I sure wish I could. I tried MS translator and it turns it into square empty boxes. I tried with the Google toolbar and it says it just translated it to English but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Thank you for sharing.
To read in English hit the 'translate' button on the google tool bar

Googel said translated otomaticly. Any way the pictures in the other reply shows work steps in case u have p p experince
I finished the first part and it's first time in pp
Thank u again

thanks!
