Help! I can't stop!!!

Kathyl, i'm on dial up and its either not gonna load that video for me or its gonna take forever and then some. what is the block called? whats the episode #? whos the designer, yea that outta be easy to find the regular page on the site for the designer. jeanne

Let's see, Leslie likes batiks, you could just scoop them into a box for her. We wouldn't want you to drown, now would we? Do not send them to me, I'm trying to clean up. Are you going to post pics of your lovely applique blocks?

That link took me to Floating Leaves, so I guess they have changed the videos available.

Can you name the book or designer or technique?

If you look at the little menu on the left....the next video after the floating leaves is the Pieced Curves. There are three videos available. The technique I'm using is the second one. Although I was also tempted by the floating leaves...but I don't have the bleach stop chemical. Whew...that's good! The book is "Pieced Curves...so Simple" by Dale Fleming. I'll post pictures tomorrow when I get more done.

I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow, if I can stop long enough. ARRGGGHHH! I had another project I was chugging away on before this one bit me in the butt.

you can go to hgtv home page and click on videos and type simply quilts on the search and it brings up 105 simply quilt shows and it also has a lot of their other craft and woodworking videos on too. dreamboat

That is amazing! Does it really really work? I'm umpteen projects behind, but that's worth a try.

And why two layers of freezer paper?

So funny! Me too! I only made 4 blocks though. I had to stop because I had school work to do.

L> But it wasn't until I watched one of the current episodes

Great video of this technique, and some lovely quilts.

Oh dear, I guess I missed that detail. I'm just using one layer. I'll have to go back and see what the instructions really are! ;-)

I'm taking the applique class from Sharon in Paducah this April. I'll have to "compare and contrast" the two methods. I'm pretty good at machine applique in terms of raw edge (satin stitch, blanket stitch) so I doubt this is as fast, but it does look more like hand applique.

I missed that the first time I read it. I suspect it is to make it a bit stiffer and more likely to keep its shape.

Julia > And why two layers of freezer paper?

Yes, the two layers do work a little better. It's stiffer and a little easier to remove. Here are my blocks so far.

Oh, those are fun. That might almost be enough to make me try applique!!! Nicely done Kathyl!!

Cooler than heck!

LOLOL! I just got back from Staples where I bought several new glue sticks so I can continue on. I have ironing to do, laundry to do, but I'm possessed!
