SO am impatiently waiting for my pattern to arrive....

Loving the January finishes and have to admit
was a bit excited to see the J next to my name....
 
I know my pattern is on its way BUT
of course would love to be starting it now...
 
also trying to keep my New Years resolution of finishing workshop
projects - you don't want to know how many of those I have. 
A few finishes and practicing my stitching
 
 
(shh don't tell Anni still have one of her bags to finish from a workshop
at Almond Grove in Loxton from 2008/9)
 
A question for the ladies that have the pattern already -
do we need yardage or would a jelly roll and yardage work?
 
Thanks for all the lovely photos that you are all sharing..

Having a read of the pattern I would say NO... you need WOF and she recommends 4in x WOF for this.

A layer cake would work rather than a jelly - but yes, background fabrics are yardage ... or scraps?!

i'm waiting also ...why Australia is so far.... why the mail is so snail....

Susie said...

I haven't really taken in to account the fabric requirements as I desperately want to use my scraps.
