Perseverance and wit are two of the many traits I love about you, Robin.

I ...I personally think the book is poorly written. I LOVE Amy Butler, BUT she really needed a better editor and she needed to hire a professional patternmaker to write the directions. I am finding that quilters/fabric designers do not a pattern maker make and in turn make me very upset when I buy one of their patterns or books and find flaws with the pattern and/or the directions that cause me pain. <br />I am not easily confused by patterns and or directions and I find the directions in the book poor at best. I feel your pain Robin and I am an excellent patternmaker and seamstress.Valitahttp://www.valitas.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739812143584749737.post-65003364205272086022011-04-01T15:36:12.473-05:002011-04-01T15:36:12.473-05:00Ha ha!

Like Heather, I have bought the fabric, but due to surgery, have not completed any of the three bags! I WILL catch up, Jemellia! I can be a sewing machine myself when I need to, like the week or two before Silver Bella last year. Glad to see you are feeling better, Robin!

I, too, found making these bags a real drag and only completed two out of the five that I had wanted to do. BUT.. I am SO excited to see your new solution and will also be thanking CindyLouHoo, I have no doubt. I don't understand why this had to be so complicated. Anyway..thanks for sharing and for helping.Jansiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794740999597151914noreply@blogger.com
