I am working on a new pattern and need to have it tested before I publish it. Is there anyone who enjoys paper piecing, has a little free time and can meet a 3 week deadline that would like to test my new design?

ohhh thats so cute..... i'd do it but, my sewing arm is in a cast..... pout

I will!!! Please, please, please. PM me if you would like me to. I'm actually very good at p-piecing.

oh my goodness. that is cute. I don't work well with a deadline though. What do you want made? Just a block or an entire quilt?

Heck, I can do it. Love PP and have plenty of time on my hands.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I really need the whole quilt made to check my math since it is not one of my strong points.

I love pp but suck at binding. :cry:

Thanks! So sorry to hear about your arm. Maybe next time?

I'm not the right person for this then-I'm incredibly super duper slow. :mrgreen: I might just buy it when it comes out for sale though.

That's even better Gale!

I've got two others lined up so I think between the three of you I should be assured of finding any problems. Have you ever tested a pattern before? The way I do it is to send the pattern and have you make it as if you bought the pattern and are making it on your own. You would use your own fabric, make notes of any problems you find and the quilt is yours when you are finished. I will also send you a new copy of the pattern when I publish it. If this works for you, let me know and give me your address and I will send out the pattern.

Thanks!
Sue

I would, love paper piecing. pm me

If u want a beginner to try it, I am willing and able. It might be good to have someone new to pp'ing to try it. Pm me if you would like me to be involved.

Very cute!!!

Still looking for volunteers I am will. I have paper pieced a couple times and I am willing.

I love it but suck at deadlines lol

If you are still looking I'll be happy to do it.
It looks so familiar to me for some reason. Very cute :)
I just went to your site and now I know where I saw it at - your site lol.
Very cute indeed.

I am willing to try.

How big is the finished quilt? Please send more information (PM) and I will give it consideration. I really enjoy PP!

I love to paper piece, very happy to help if you are still looking for volunteers

My new design is very similar to the one on my website but the quilt on the website is a more traditional Santa whereas this new one is wearing a flannel shirt, suspenders, blue jeans and work boots. The layout is a little simpler too, but thanks for noticing!

I have several people lined up to test this pattern right now but if for some reason they aren't able to do it I will come back and contact some of the others that have expressed an interest.

Thanks everybody!

I would love too sounds like fun!

I have done a lot of paper piecing and would be happy to help and can meet deadline. PM me if you are interested.

I think it is adorable. But I really like the angel in your avatar. She would be perfect for the soldiers sheets/shroud. Do you have a pattern that you would be willing to share? That would be wonderful. Please PM me if you do. If not, that is okay. Yolanda Wood River

Oh that is adorable! Wish I could squeeze one more thing in...

Love your angel avatar, and just had a look at your website and your blog. What a talented designer you are!

I love it. Will need to buy the pattern when it comes out. Gotta-hav-it!!

I love it. Will need to buy the pattern when it comes out. Gotta-hav-it!!

What a cute pattern. Lumberjack Santa?? Love it! I have a thing for guys in flannel... don't see too many here in Florida. Good luck with the pattern, I know it will be a hit.

If you still need volunteers, I am willing and able and would LOVE to do this! Thanks!

HI Sue, if you are still looking let me know, I am always PPing something. I used to be on the list of testers on the quiltdesigners group!

I have tested patterns before,but I am afraid that I might not can meet the dead line, I am very slow at pp.

I love paperpiecing, but I didn't see your request in time to volunteer. Maybe next time.

Your Santa block is darling, so I'll probably buy it when you have it ready to sell. It would be great in a quilt with other Christmas motifs, too.

Cute design. I like it and would be happy to help, but I see that you have enough. Best wishes!

I am overwhelmed by all the offers to help! Thanks everybody! I am working on a book as well so I will probably need more testers soon and will post another message when I am ready but you might find out sooner if you follow my blog.

Thanks!
Sue

Hi Jacquie,

I remember your name from the designers list! Nice to reconnect with you. I am also working on a book so I will keep you in mind when I am ready to test for that.

Thanks,
Sue

LOL I love those Santas! They'd make great little clowns too with a different color.

If you still need help, I have done lots of paper piecing could get it done.

LOL! Its funny that you mention clowns since I did this same idea with a clown block that will be in the next issue of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks from Today's Top Designers! In fact, its on the cover.
