    Default Giving paper piecing another try...

    I just purchased the Carol Doak 'Mastering Paper Piecing' class from Crafsty for $14.99!
    It's on sale, BIG TIME!
    Consider this a public service announcement.
    I really need to get off the exclamation point.
    It may give people the idea that I'm bright and cheerful all the time....

    Hey Sue, Thanks for the Public service announcement: it has been noted, and will be actioned accordingly in about 2 minutes. I did the English paper piecing class: "pieced hexies" tutorial on craftsy with Mickey Dupre, and really enjoyed it. I am waiting on my online order of supplies to arrive, and then I will be giving the hexie thing a red hot go. I will now have a look at the one you are talking about and give it a go, also, as I have always thought it would be a great technique to master. Thanks again, and be sure to post pics of what you conquer.

    Afew things I learned about paper piecing, a) it's likely the only way I'll ever get points to match, as in a star pattern, b) the first two pieces are the trickiest, the rest comes along, c) make sure my fabric piece completely covers the area of the paper it's supposed to, plus the quarter inch all around, and d) drum rolllllll last but not least, for God's sakes me be patient with me as I'm learning a new technique ! Have fun with it!

    It'll be there in January, but it may not be $14.99!
    It is like 86% OFF! Or some crazy percentage UNHEARD of!
    Just do it, chica!
    (Her math lesson dizzied up my head, but great tips! And I'm only on Lesson 3!....)
    Trust me, I have enough going on right now, and purchased this for a winter 'give it a go'...
    Couldn't pass up the sale, Ruby!

    AHA! I'm ON to them now!!
    There's a fancy, techie name for this marketing...
    I googled 'how to clean a cast iron skillet', and the ad came up. Do you believe that?
    JAYZEE, this stuff freaks me out....
    It's only MY deal? Well, heck fire shoot!
    Do you suppose Big Brother may be watching?

    I googled the casting iron question and got the Craftsy 14.99 Quilting Class, which I already have all of them from long time ago! The Mastering Paper Piecing is 29.99 for me too! Poop on them! lol
