no, I can do pretty well on hand work but PP is out of the question. That is just too much to think about. I embroider, crosstitch and applique mostly, all of which can be done with a great OTT light and my cat in my lap. PP is something I am learning and yes, I do have quite a few patterns, but with copyright laws and such, what I have, I don't know the origins of, I have friends that have taught me and a lot of what I have comes from mags and such.

I'm new here...but I've learned so much! You all have been great with ideas and helpful hints...but now I have another question. A lady at Wal Mart was looking for some trim to put around her "ornament". It was done on a styrofom ball. The points are folded into what looked like rectangles turned in to make 2 triangles. Then she get folding pieces until it went half way around the styrofom ball.. Then she turned it around and done the same pattern on the other half. In the middle where they met, she put a pretty ribbon or trim around the center to cover the raw edged meeting. It was so cute. I'ld love to make some...I love to fold material and just make anykind of ornament I can. Hope I was somewhat explanatory....Help please. Thank you all for you great tips where to get free quilting patterns...I found several I like thanks to you all. You all are so smart out there! :D

Hi Country Girl.....I made those ornaments years ago. A few of us "girls" made lots of them for the church fair and they were a big hit! I still have mine and would like to make some more but can't remember how. So...if someone sends in the pattern, I am interested in it also.

Hi Janie, Xstitch is what I do in front to the tv too and find very relaxing, along with redwork, crocheting, knitting. I'm also new to pp and am learning. I did buy one pattern recently at a quilt store but all my other patterns have come from a friend or from sites that offer free pp patterns.

Hi Heifer....I'm Judyjo and I put up the original post about the Cathedral Window ornament about 1-1/2 years ago. It is so far back now in the pages of this forum it is hard to find. If you send me your email address I will email you the attachments for the directions, illustration and photos.

Don't know if this is the ornament or not, but will work for what
I want to do. :D

Thank you so much for finding this for me. I'll post pics

week. :)

I'd love to see a copy of your pattern. Trying to remember the
ornament from ages ago.

I downloaded it! I clicked on download and then clicked on SAVE. Then after it saved to my computer, I clicked on OPEN. If you try to download and then OPEN, you won't be able to see it. (I think that's a VISTA thing)
