Month 1 -- Ask Questions Here

Yes I’m struggling with flower D and H. I’ve watched all the videos, read the blog and been following the forum. I’m a bit behind most as I’ve only done about half the appliqué for month one. I found the individual leaves and petals manageable and am pleased with results but D and H are causing me problems. Any advice gratefully received.

For help with V's, those deep places on flowers D and H, go watch show 806 with Verna Mosquera. Starting at about 32 minutes she shows how to hand applique those V's. The process would be similar for machine applique--you would turn the edges under for that just like they are turned under for hand applique.

Our site has almost 400 shows and the search box is very helpful. I searched for hand applique and it didn't take me long to find this show.

Take a look--then let us know if it helped.

Good morning,
I'm very late in starting, but here I go. I made the vase and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I made the sawtooth boarder and I realized that I'm just a bit too small. I don't know how to adjust the size on my printer, so I'm going to draft out the sawtooth boarder. Please tell me the width that I'll need to make this. I believe it's 18.5 x 2.75.
Thanks, now I need to find some more coffee.
Anne

Anne, I hope you printed the Optional Alternative Instructions I wrote to supplement the pattern. The paper pieced borders are fully explained in it. The first paper pieced dogtooth border FINISHES at 18" x 2.5". Draw that size rectangle and then add 1/4" seam allowance all around it. The UNFINISHED size of the 4 borders are 18.5" x 3". After you paper pieced them, be sure you trim each border to 18.5" x 3" so they fit the center block accurately. There are four 3" corner squares that are added to the top and bottom borders.

I was looking through the patterns I have downloaded and for some reason I cannot find the four PDF files for Month 2. Is there anyway I can get these four pattern download files for Month 2? PRETTY PLEASE???

I know GPDU is over and I do have everything saved but could you tell me how much yardage was needed for all the bias stems?

[Barbara B.]

One yard will do it
