Hi Guys,

 Ive joined this quiltalongathon for a bit of fun from August 1st til Halloween ....

Foundation paper piecing is definitely involved but it looks like fun ... and who knows I might go seriously off piste and applique!!

Anyone care to join in?

   @Iminei ,  Mmmmm, the theme doesn't really grab me Im so I think I'll pass. But thanks for thinking of me sweetpea. And I've just been given this book of patterns which has me "all aquiver"......love the idea of fpp cushions so they're next on the list after I finish my kitty wall hanging and get the Tiger fpp organised.

I don’t remember seeing that particular book. The ones they had on offer seemed pretty dated for the most part.

I love FPP and would like to join a Quiltalongathon, but the photo on FB doesn't really float my boat so I'll have to wait until I see something I fancy. Then I'll definitely join in. :)

Well I joined this but the organizer and I have had a falling out.

She kept removing my post linking to my album of fabrics.
I asked her why and apparently I'm not allowed to use charms in my quilt!

I told her that she probably wouldnt like me appliqueing many of the blocks either and then told her as she seemed to be restricting my freedom of expression, I was ... as the Dragons say ...out!

Im hoping for a refund for the patterns I bought but am not holding out much hope.

If she's dictating what you can and can't do I hope she's paying for all the materials too!

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.
