I could not access the Pansy CQLesson in Lesson 8. Is there a way to get this info on the pansy? I can't tell you how much I enjoyed all of the info you have presented here. I'm new to CQ and loved it. Thanks so much.

Jean, Thank you for the "heads up" on the broken link to the Pansy CQ Lesson. It is a beautiful lesson, I created one of the ribbon pansys and posted it on my flickr site.

The link has been repaired. I will be checking the whole site over the next few weeks to make sure all links are "LIVE". Hopefully adding some new info by the beginning of Feb. 2009.

Enjoy
Jody

You are so welcome, Jody. I'm looking forward to your new info. BTW, my hubb had mylar sheets for the copier. I was able to copy the stitch templates from the paper print out to the mylar with no problems. Thans for all of your help and all of your wonderful info.

I don't seem to be able to download the Bead Information PDF file after lesson 4 nor lesson 5. Is it my computer, or is there a problem? Thanks. Amber

Let's add Lesson 9 Couching to the list I just sent.

Amber Rutz said

at 7:44 pm on Jan 9, 2009

OK, I got everything to download except Lesson 5 Couching. I rebooted and that solved most of the problems. Amber

Jody Cull said

Amber, I have "relinked" Lesson 9 Couching. The PDF downloads and opens or can be opened once it is saved to your computer.

The spider web tutorial is excellent! The knowledge I obtain by being a quilter never ceases to amaze me. Bungee jumping spiders......... Who knew.....? Also Nickilee the Fancy heart motif is lovely, I can hardly wait to try it. It seems so manageable when its broken down into step by step pieces. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, that group of ladies that contributed the spider web lesson do some awesome spider webs & spiders!!! Look at the "2008 One Block Swap, Favorite Things", there are some blocks there with spider webs and spiders made with beads.

It has been a long time since I first found this site. I am wondering why the lessons stop at 11, but show that 13, 14, 15, etc. will be added. Do I need to do something to visit these lessons, or are they just not there? I am especially interested in lesson 13 because of the bullion stitch. Thanks. Amber phina47@netzero.net

Hi Amber, sorry there has been a delay in the lessons. More lessons will be added sometime in May. The "Creative Crazy Ladies" that write up these lessons have been busy with classes, swaps, round robins, and getting ready for a retreat. The HGTV CQ Round Robin will end, with everyone's blocks coming home between now and mid May. As the CQ RR blocks are arriving home, a great "Fashion Show" will be posted here. It will provide some GREAT eyecandy and some awesome inspiration.

Thank you for checking in, hope you've had time to do some CQing.

I think I will have fun with this new venture. Lesson 1 took 12 minutes to download on dial-up however. Guess I better take inventory of my laces and suitable fabrics. Is metallic brocade ok to use? I got interested at the COF retreat and saw all the pretties face to face.

Yes, metallic brocade is ok to use. Sorry the download took so long. If you have trouble downloading any of the lessons let me know, I can break the PDF's into smaller files. ie: if the lesson is 6 pages I can split it into two 3 page PDFs etc.

Thanks, Jody. I went in to town to visit the ribbon store with new eyes. There were many to choose from and it seems that I gravitate towards the jewel tones. Now to practice some embroidery. I'll just go have a cuppa while lessons download.
