Go back to the site below. Right click one of the blocks and press save target and then choose "save to desk top".

Post here if this works. Maybe someone else can help as well since I'm not a computer wiz.
After all the adobe pfd are on the desktop I make a file and then save to my documents.

You might also try clicking on the Compatibility icon if you are using IE8. That's the torn sheet of paper looking icon just to the right of the web site address box at the top.

Finally got the list of fabrics she used. There is a Yahoo group for this BOM called erinsquilters. I posted that I couldn't find it after the first time and someone put up the list.

She also explains the fabric in a blog post on Sept. 15, 2010 (maybe why I couldn't find it the second time, didn't go back far enough).

All the way back to Sept!!!! Good job in your persistant search.
With this list of fabric, I think they are all FQs ?

She says in the Sept 15th post that it is 1/2 yd unless otherwise noted. But then at the bottom it lists a FQ set of Happy. A little confusing.

I think that the Quilter's Candy line at Connecting Threads would have the colors needed to go with any focus fabric in the same type of colors as the BOM.

Thanks so much for the link. I've downloaded patterns for the first 3 blocks. I'm on a fixed income and can't afford to buy the center block, so will have to make due without it. I think it will still be really nice, but that center block is really beautiful.

Thanks so much for trying to help me with this. I did as instructed (clicked on a block -- the picture of the block), but what is saved is the picture. Do the downloads include pattern pieces? I guess I could simply make my own patterns from the pictures of each block. :(

Go to the link above. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and start working your way up. At some point you will come to an area that says "block one part one'.......something
like that. These are sections for one block. I have copied an example of what I mean below...click.

Each month's blocks has 5 downloads. One is a small pattern of the entire thing if you want it, the other 4 are 1/4 of the large pattern.

Go to this link and in the first post of the pictures of My Tweets Block 3 there are several links.

Download My Tweets Block 3 part 1
Download My Tweets Block 3 part 2
Download My Tweets Block 3 part 3
Download My Tweets Block 3 part 4

Then the next paragraph has the first 3 blocks in a smaller over-all applique layout just to see it all at once if you'd like.

Download My Tweets Block 3
Download My Tweets Block 2
Download My Tweets Block 1

Click on all of the links one at a time and save the PDF.

The PDFs for blocks 2 and 1 are further down the page in the posts about each of them.
