Hello to All. I've been a lurker on this group off and on for about 5years or so. The information and help have been incredible. As manybefore me have said...what a great group!I do, now, find myself in need of some help, however. Is there anyoneout there participating in the Quilt Pink day at Pennington Quilt Worksin Pennington, NJ? I've been participating in their block of the monthand at last month's class picked up the instruction sheet for the QuiltPink squares they are planning for this Sat. Picked up my pack of fatquarters and headed home. Can't make it to the shop that day butdecided I could certainly manage to make a few blocks to be droppedoff. Well....the instructions for the Sister's Choice block seem to beoff a bit. I went to my trusty local mentor and she agreed with methat the instructions seemed a bit lacking. There's no finished blocksize, so I can't even work backwards on how to make adjustments. Theshop closes at 5PM most days. Since I work till 5PM that's not overlyhelpful. Didn't know if anyone had run into the same problem and hadmanaged to either figure out what the descrepancies were or had beenback to the shop for better instructions.By way of introduction, I am a self-taught new quilter - about 5-6years now. My first quilt was a double irish chain lap quilt for mygrandmother. Next project was a hand pieced tumbling block pattern forthe then new niece to be. Since then there have been two queen sizedquilts. Generally I machine piece and hand quilt. Still working onthe quilting on #2. Currently planning #3 but have to finish a babyblanket and needlepoint christmas stocking for the new niece/nephew dueany day.I have a DH and two QI's of the canine (chocolate lab) variety. Oh,and dark chocolate is the best!Thank you all in advance. Sorry for the length of the post but wouldbe ever so grateful for any help that may be out there. Not like I'mnot waiting until the last minute or anything....P.S. Sorry if the posting is a bit...
