Oh my stars and garters!!! I am thrilled to have won. I cannot wait to see all your hearts. I love that old saying!! You girls really know how to make one feel welcome. Thanks again.

I feel is must apologize for my venting the other night. I just get so frustrated with PP. I appreciate all of your thoughts and advice, especially the method of determining the size of the fabric. I did see Fons and Porter, I guess that is what started me again but forgot how she measured the fabric. I have made things, such as the "Dancing Sea Turtles", I don't have pic of that just the pattern but it was a kit and looked just like that, and Mariners Compass pillow, but maybe I expect too much. I think I will try something else and take a DEEP breath. Jayne

I did the Craftsy leaf pattern following Lois example. I may try another pattern as well, this pattern was lots of pieces, but the end result works. (Posting from my ipad! hope it's not sideways or upside down) V. It was upside down...reposted...why does it do that ???) This post was edited by littlehelen on Sat, Sep 20, 14 at 16:08

Cathy, I will be mailing my 3 blocks today. I still find paper piecing a challenge. I don't know how many times I was ripping and restitching. It is probably just me. The angles and being backwards just messes me up. Oh, well, the results are worth it and I guess I just need more practice. Thanks, Nancy (Stitches)
