haven't found the tute i saw recently that used freezer paper and no basting. but am posting here a set of links that i really enjoy. the blogs are fun to wander through after you have perused the epp info. i don't save videos because they take too long to load...forever on my ipad, and almost forever on my pc...so all tutes i enjoy are photo & word. i can also follow them more easily i find, w ipad especially. ...i just prop it up and use it like a book and follow the illustrated notes.

this is from my notepad...

cruisin' the net looking for a tute on double disappearing 9-patch block. so, of course! i find a tute on sewing hexies the way i do it. it is such a quick and easy way of doing them and no stitches show. my attemps to describe the method are sooooo insufficient. check out how well this blogging stitcher documented w photo and word. a most excellent tutorial in the use of the ladder stitch, which she says, she uses for many different applications where she doesn't want the stitches to show, as do i.

yes, as a matter of fact heeheeheee! i found this blog when researching how to make a d9p last year. love this site, in fact i have had it open here on my ipad for couple weeks. i was looking for how to on something and ..heck of there is somethin' i wanna know...she has a tute, a blog or a link to where i find my answers :)). what can i say...the site is awsome! lol

just on my way up to do desk work ..YUCK!! but the bills have to be paid. when done, if boss not home yet was going to crank up the pc & post a couple pics. i did d9p's for grdaughters quilts for christmas. but the other day i read about a double disappearing nine patch ... ?? ...so did image search. brought me back to the image you posted there. i want to do that too. i did sort of a controled scrappy for the girls quilts. but i like this very controlled color and i love! her wavy quilting. had seen others using it on quilts they posted on-line. i did it on the girls quilts and sid around all the little blocks and strips. the adults loved it. the girls just loved their soft fuzzy quilts w all the bright colors. i used novelty fleece for backing. similar to minky.

Hi. I just discovered this group and joined. I read about using the ladder stitch and watched the tutorial. Thank you so much for posting it. I have only worked with hexagons and diamonds so far but want to get brave and try new stuff.
