The Tempters are a set of acrylic templates designed for hand piecing. Each of the designs is very intricate and that's why Jen recommends hand piecing.
The blocks are 10" finished. I'm only intending to make 5 and then turn them into a table runner for the top of the book case in my dining room.
The shapes are all irregular, and it's easy to get confused. I now refer to the plan I drew out on paper and make sure I have the pieces round the right way before I sew them together.
I'm using Alison Glass fabrics, mixed in with some other fabrics I already had. The end result might be a bit crazy, but it's better than the blue and green table runner currently on the book case.
I've made 2.5 blocks already and like how it's looking.
Blogger have finally fixed the comments problem - Yay! So I'm now back to getting sent your comments by email.
However, many with Google+ profiles don't have visible email addresses. That includes Sue from Raumati. So, sorry Sue - I couldn't email you directly. I paid $40 in Wellington, but everyone charges differently so ask around.
Firstly, I am sorry you are not getting the email notifications Wendy. I fixed mine using the 'turn on, turn off four times' suggestion that Linda posted on her IG a few months ago and it worked for me!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours of these blocks!
What an amazing block! It is so NOW, hipster even. I haven't tried hand piecing but that might be the way to go for me, I haven't mastered paper piecing by machine.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and your fabric choices are just wonderful! You always inspire me!
ReplyDeleteI was able to fix the comments through advice from a fellow blogger. Go to Dashboard-settings-email. Find "comment notification E mail. (you probably have your address there but it is not working) At the bottom of that box with your e-mail in it is - "Choose from contacts - REMOVE - Click on remove, then go to top right corner and ckick on "SAVE SETTINGS" Then go back to the same box and re-enter your e-mail address, go back and click on "SAVE SETTINGS" You will be sent an invitation by e-mail. Go there and click on SUBSCRIBE. It worked for me and saves a lot of frustrations. Good Luck!
