I too, am slow in getting my block to you. We are building a house, living in very small temporary housing and I'm trying to finish a baby quilt that I started some time ago. If that isn't enough, hubby cut part of the two middle fingers on his left hand off in a farm accident about 10 days ago. One finger isn't healing the best, so we are at the doctor about 45 min away at least 3 times a week. Life is crazy right now, but I do plan on getting a block to you. If you can't wait, just let me know and I'll delete it from my files.
Sorry it's taking so long. |

Thanks for the help, Sherryl candlequilter |
Hi Pat, just seen your reply to my post. If I get the pattern from Sherryl anytime soon I will copy and send you one if you will PM me your mailing address. As you well know I am not far from Silverdale and hubby or both of us are over there often.
I wondered if I was the only one having trouble with getting it to print on the whole page for me. Have a great Sunday and a good week ahead. Nice meeting you neighbor! Linda (kitsapquilter) |
Love your block!
|

|
Beautiful blocks everyone...I am waiting for reply from candlequilter so I can give it a shot...so while I'm waiting I am going to try her applique pattern...
|
Have sent you a pm with email address.

Mine wouldn't lay flat at first either but once it was sewed & I took the paper off for some reason it all worked out & pressed flat. Maybe you are all stopping too soon. I know I was about to.

I am sorry for any inconvience that this has caused you.
I'm still trying!@!!I LOVE this pattern.. I really want to learn it.. but It's gotten to the point DGH is threatening me with a bar of soap for my mouth!!! sigh...... don't give up on me! |
I had to call "uncle". Sent two other red/wht/blu blocks. Just could not get the whole thing to come together. Am going back to it. When I get it I will send a block.

Thanks for asking again, Sherryl Candlequilter |
Yep! If you don't have time or are having problems with the candlequilter block, all she is asking is for another 12 1/2" block of your choice.
|
Hi. I would like to see the pattern and know what size block you need. I am confined to bed a lot waiting for surgery so this will give me something to do. I can cut the pieces and sew it while I am in bad. Marvel in Ok.
|
working on it, but having trouble figuring out the block i know it is just because i am so tired, having to work overtime at the hospital lately so don't give up i will come through.

i found if I make several of the pattern pieces then lay them out i can see how the opposite one is to look. i just had too many of the one direction and none of the other direction. just take your time and try it again. i believe i just might have it figured out. good luck ladies.

I am impressed with your Stars Patches
|
I am so sorry that so many have not sent their blocks. I was unable to complete a block from the pattern. I am a very new quilter and had never done paper piecing. Boy did I learn my lesson. Perhaps I can talk one of the instructers at Joanns to have a class in paper piecing and I can eventually do your pattern. But I did send a different block for the fall colors about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Hope that you received it. :?
|
I haven't forgotten about the block, just too many things going on right now. I WILL do one soon, I promise!
|
My apologies too Candlequilter. I am a long way off from making a block that I can send you. One thing I've learned though is that I need A LOT of practice paper piecing.

I haven't heard of this block. If you will email me the pattern, I will make an attempt to try it.

Well, after 14 hours I managed to finish the block. Unfortunately, only two of my points match and the unfinished block ended up at less than 12 1/2 inches, so it's unusable for candlequilter's purposes. Now I'm on the search for an appropriately sized block I can send instead. Sometime in the future I do hope to conquer this block, but I can't afford another 2 days to try again right now. I'm very humbled at this point.
|
where do I send a 12-1/2 block to?
|
yeah, i got my block done, and in the mail today. it was a challenge, and i actually made two blocks which are the same, due to my mistake in directions, so i hope candlequilter can use them in her project.

Shella now I can't find the new candlequilter star block you sent out. Sorry - can you tell me how to find it. I'm usually not this scatter brained but to much going on.

Please send me a pm. Traditional |
Did she ever mention which colorway she was most in need of? I missed the part where she needed any 12 1/2" block so I may have missed that part too...
|
Red, white and blue.
|
I, too, have been trying, and failing, to get an acceptable block. I got so frustrated I quit trying but will try again. I think this "cool off" will help!

Hi. My name is Carla. I've been reading the board for some time now, but only recently became an official member. I promised to make a block for Sherryl. I am a beginner quilter and had never attempted paper piecing. I fell in love with her star. I'm posting a photo of my first attempt so that everyone can have a good laugh along with me and am also posting a photo of my second attempt. I have pm'd Sherryl and let her know that she can have the second one if she wants it. I plan on making her one or two more but not sure when i will get them done. The first one took me 2 weeks and the second one, I completed in 2 to 3 hours.

Thank you for the PM and thank you for the laugh - I truly appreciate all of your hard work. Paper piecing is a separate critter of its own for sure. Thanks for sharing both of your blocks. It shows your determination and that you acheived your goal in the end. I love the colors and your block looks great.
Thanks again for your help. Sherryl Candlequilter |
my blocks are in the mail --ty
|
I found it.
|
I didn't get any email from Sherryl with any pattern. So I don't have her address. H ow do I get it?
