Welcome to my stop on Kimie and Missy's Blog Hop for their new book. These two
sisters have assembled a fantastic I Spy book of 100 everyday items to
Foundation Paper Piece. Their vibe is totally modern and you can find them "On
Williams Street"
(here). I came to
"meet" them through pattern testing. Their work is very creative, take the time
to have a look at it.
I used an e-copy of the book for my sampling for the Blog
Hop as my hard copy is somewhere in the mail system. For both formats of the
book you get a login and a password to access the templates for the actual
patterns you wish to stitch.
My next problem was decided from 100 choices which
one or ones to do. I changed my mind many times. I settled on a Tulip and a
Watering Can because right now our ground is covered in snow and thoughts of
flowers and gardening are positive thoughts. In the hopes of doing something
different with the pattern I made one regular size and one at about half size
for my two selections. All the patterns in the book are scaled to be 6" blocks.
Because you are accessing the pattern templates electronically it is super easy
to scale them up or down when you print them.
JUST REMEMBER your outside seam
allowance gets scaled also you will have to adjust that once you have printed
your pattern.
Each block has a dedicated page in the book with a full colour illustration, a
level of difficulty, number of fabrics required, a line drawing of the block and
an identification key for colour placement. That way when you print the actual
template it is totally uncluttered. You can colour in your own version on make
your own code for colour placement. Printing the template uses considerably less
ink that way. My second block was the Watering Can.
The Tulip is a level one and the Watering Can is a level two. There are several smaller
pieces on the watering can and once it was scaled down they were really small.
