Some of you are having trouble  obtaining the patterns for Just Takes 2.  Hope the following helps!

The link to Just Takes 2 is just a starter page.  When there, click on Basic info under Quilt and click on printer friendly then save to a file for Just Takes 2. This page has yardage required etc.
Return to the starter page and click on Sentimental Stitches (upper left) for the first 6 blocks. Scroll down and download-  save to your JT2 file. Mid month you will click on Dear Jane, find the download and save to your JT2 file. After this first month I will change the links to go directly to Sentimental Stitches and Dear Jane websites.

While here check out addtional info just added to the Jan. 8th post !!  More tempatations~

Happy 2012 to everyone!!

We have a whole new year ahead of us to complete some of our projects OR start some new ones!

Just to entice you there are some new free BOMS available ~ one just starting at Shabby Fabrics looks very cute!

This BOM is called Country Houses and the blocks are 12x12 which I think would fit into the calendar if you didn't want to make it into a quilt.I have added Shabby Fabrics to the links.  General Instructions and Block 1 are now posted.  Take a look.

If you are doing or saving Vintage Tiles Revisited, Block 3 is now posted.

February 1st  - Free BOM starting on Pearl Pereira's linked website ~ no details but mark your calendar!
