   Wouldn’t you know it the one I would like to download it doesn’t work. I wanted the Asl I love you design but the link does not work to download the design. I have a daughter that is deaf and I would love to use this design on a quilt for her. My blog is not finished yet if you go there but please email me about this design.

         Is it to late to get this pattern? In the past I worked with handicapped people and hearing impaired.

   Thank you very much for posting these patterns. there are many that I have been searching for! I am making a measuring quilt–it is a fabric tape measure with simple boy or girl blocks on either side. You hang it on the wall and measure the kids as they grown instead of a paper strip. However, finding small, paper pieced blocks that are juvenile and free is not an easy task! Thanks, again!

    Your I Love You in sign language are very special. I lost a daughter two years ago–she was 24; she had lost most of her hearing in infancy due to an illness. I’m trying to build up the courage to make a memorial quilt from some of her clothes I have kept (and wear). The I Love You hand signs will be perfect. Now I have a pretty good reason to learn paper piecing!

My husband is even getting into it (a little) and, of course, now he has a request that I can’t find. He would like me to make something with the Green Bay Packers logo…do you know where or how I can find one? Or how to make a pattern? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi, wonderful patterns and thanks so much for sharing them. I wanted to do the Sitting Hen but I find the pattern confusing. Do you have one that has the coloration like so many of your others? I figured out most of it except for the hen’s head, not sure which little bits should be yellow and which need to be background. Just thought I’d ask.

    I found your website today. I have always wanted to do paper piecing but when my friend was showing me how to do it, it seemed too nerve-racking and complicated. You have made it so simple and fun! I am in the process of doing the tree. And then I think I’ll tackle something harder, like the Harry Potter bookcase!
