How many quilters love BOM block of the month projects? How about one in english paper piecing?

This quilt shop owner www.katjasquiltshoppe.com/
who has a hexie book out, is partnering with PaperPieces.com for a block of the month very much in the milleflori style
If you want to take part in it, sign up on the right on her website.
Here is her facebook page with a black and white image of some of the project

As best I can understand, each month papers kit can be purchased from PaperPieces.com in time for the month's free instructions from Katja. She indicates you will need her book. I haven't seen the book but I'd think if she had a quilt like this it would have been on the cover But perhaps she has her own good ideas our prepping and organizing that quilters might like to know along with the BOM

I've no affiliation, just thought it looked interesting. I have my next epp already working up in my mind, but if any of you do the BOM I know we'd love to see images!

I should have a couple more of my rosettes ready to share by tomorrow. Here is a close up of the original maker's. Not crazy about her colors but sure am crazy about the quilt

Okay, I am trying again...
I inherited a Grandmother's Garden quilt made of original 1930's and feedsack prints. It was stolen from me. I miss it, so I decided to make one myself. I have made 130 flowers so far, and have 126 flowers to go. I would like to make each flower of a different fabric. I find that I really enjoy the handwork. I try to make one every day. I make more when I am not feeling well. I tuck a few into my purse to work on while waiting at the doctor's office. I don't mind the wait any more!

Okay, I am trying again...
I renamed the file without the apostrophe. The message posted without the picture.
Think I will go sew.
Thank you Sue and Rita for trying so kindly to help me.

Well, I did everything I can think of.
Tried JPG, JPEG and PNG.
Reduced the file size.
Tried reposting again later.

I still get error message 500.
"Error 500 - Internal Server Error
An error was encountered while processing your request. Typically this is a temporary condition. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance."

I have tried for hours. This is pretty frustrating.

I am trying again to post EPP pictures.

Love your colors. Going to try this.will start small to see how hands react. Beautiful.

I have tried my best to post pictures. I get an internal server message #500, which says this is usually a temporary problem and to contact the website. I emailed them.

Thank you for your help, Rita. You gave very clear instructions. I appreciate that. I will try again later.

Hi Judy, here's what you do. Firstly, click 'reply topic' to go to the message box. Put your mouse over the box marked 1. on the Attachment bar below; click on it and it will give you an option to choose a location from which you can choose your photo - for example your desktop, photos etc. - click 'choose' and then you click 'insert' beside the attachment bar. You should see a lot of letters and brackets etc., in the box where you have been typing your response this will be the image file you have chosen. When you have finished typing your reply click 'Submit' and it should appear with your next comment. Good luck.

Hi Rita,
I just took pictures and am trying to figure out how to post them.
Does anyone know what file format is best to use for posting?
Is there somewhere on the website that says how to post them?
I can sew, but I am terrible at this website stuff.

There must be more members with EPP projects on the go. I would love to see photos of what others are doing?

Andree, at a recent quilt expo I purchased a small Sue Daley "playing with papers Pack 11"
It has the 1" per side honeycomb and 2 size squares, 1" and 2" I realized after I got it home, that is what the quilters are using for the smaller size Lucy Boston squares, in case that is what you are thinking about doing.

I know one thing, I like Sue's acrylic templates for fussing cutting way better than PaperPieces'. Sue's have a 1/4" seam allowance, PaperPieces' have a 3/8" seam allowance. I'm having to trim down everything before I do my glue basting. Too wasteful of fabric and time.

And speaking of Sue www.busyfingerspatchwork.com/ who is in Australia here is another opinion
Since I've converted to glue basting I like her slick papers better, for sew basting PaperPieces are great.

Anyway the point of my story is, in the US you can order off her Aussie site, the order is then filled by her US office and the shipping reflects that. Cool...because I contacted 3 different quilt shops that quilters assured me carry Sue's papers and they couldn't be bothered with shipping. Which is ok, their choice...also their loss

Maybe we could get TQS to carry them, isn't there a store connected with this site?
Quitting time here, Quilting time now!

Have only one word WOW

I love both projects. Well done ladies!

I just ordered honeycombs, maybe I'll make something similar to the "Marquise" quilt(Tula Pink).But...with a twist...

Andrée

I love the bee going the other way!
Both of the projects are wonderful ladies! Thanks for sharing them.

I wish I had the patience to sew hexies but I don't. Both the quilts are lovely.
