    Here is my very first attempt at pp. It went together a lot easier than I thought. I almost made it to the end without my friend the grim ripper but did a couple of silly things :oops:
    I am very happy with the end result and must say i thoroughly enjoyed the PP. So for anyone who hasnt tried it before give it a go!I enjoyed the precision of it and just following lines when sewing!The paper I used was just copy paper and came out fine as long as you use a very short stitch ) I used 1.5 stitch length. So thanks for this months BOM if it wasnt for this I probably still would have been scared of PP!

    Yes, I made two of the January blocks. It was my Mother's idea. She thought if we made two a month, at the end of the year we would have enough for a larger quilt. Hopefully I can stay with it!!
    :D :D :D :D

    Thank you for your kind words. I made a lot of mistakes, at first, then it was like a light bulb turning on & I finally got the picture!! Don't be afraid to try it. It's easier than you might think it will be.
    :D :D :D :D

    I'm so glad you and your mom are sewing together. I love it when I can sew with my mum. It makes it even MORE special.
