Nadine's Etsy 101 (Guest blog post)

(reversible Quilt-as-you-go-Quilt) First of all I’d like to thank Lynne for allowing me to plaster my ramblings on this blog, cos let’s face it, that’s what I do. I ramble on Twitter on Facebook and of course on the blog and send it out into the ether hoping somebody will read my often chocolate-tainted (sugar high!!) "wisdom", oh and more importantly, praise my creations, leave a comment and tell me, yes, it was worth spending my time on this quilt that almost broke my back when basting it and that cost me a fortune in the making. So please come and find me on my blog and read some more ramblings or critique my quilts and I’ll love you forever. http://quiltedbliss.blogspot.com/ If that isn’t enough incentive then maybe a GIVEAWAY is? I am currently hosting a giveaway on the blog to celebrate my new ODD OWL collection which I have just added to my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop/QuiltedBlissByNadine A collection of personalized plush baby taggy toys...

ET phone home - the quilt block template

You remember this block? It is 12" square finished and is foundation paper pieced in 8 templates which are sewn into pairs then those pairs sewn into pairs then the two halves sewn together to make one block. If you make this block, I'd love to see it in my Flickr group. Well here is the template . It is printable onto A4 paper. Anyone with US letter size paper, let me know if it prints to size or if I need to make a US letter paper version. To access the template, click through to the google docs hosted version. Set your printer so it does not scale. I set mine to "A4 borderless", print and check that the triangle on the left is 6" tall. And thank you to Sandi from piecemeal quilts who very kindly stopped to explain that for those who need to print it on US 8 1/2" x 11" paper, you can download the file (click File and then Download) to save it on your computer, then open the file. This way you're looking at it in Adobe Reade...
