Project Simplify - Day 28
June 10, 2011 I'm a cheater. And I'm not afraid to admit it.
Yes, sometimes I look for the easy way out and bend the rules a bit. In this case, I'm talking about the circle template for Spot On. It requires enlarging. I don't mind. I'm lucky to have a printer/fax/copier thingy here at home.
But I was thinking more about my little helper and making tracing easy for her. So instead of making a template as per the pattern, I rooted around my kitchen for something round. The best I could do was a plate that's about 1/4" smaller than the actual template.
It was so easy for her to use. (Yes, that's a Laura Ashley saucer!)
I don't think the quilting police will come and arrest me because the circles are a smidgen smaller than the pattern said.
But in case they do - and you'd like to make my prison stay more comfortable - I like Ghirardelli brownies (with chopped walnut, if you don't mind), Irish Breakfast tea and Japanese craft books & magazines.
Thanks in advance.

It's WAY more important that your helper used the plate than using the actual template from the book....besides, you want this to be "your own" anyway. So, i don't think you will have to worry about the quilt police...I'd send you brownies for sure, though. :)
Ok!! Should be able to sort the tea for you ! ;)

You're so funny. You forgot to mention Sarah Jane fabric!!!
ohhh, if they even try, I say make a break and don't leave a trail of chocolate! I think just saying 'Laura Ashley saucer' is enough to bail you out! Making pretties with pretties, it's going to be gorgeous! :)!
