Paper Piece Pineapple thing
Okay, my mind is bouncing around ideas again (always seems to happen, I
think about one thing, see something else, and the mind goes raring away that way and never lights on something too long) but anyway ... I picked up Alex Anderson's Paperpiecing book from the library. I'm inspired by the Pineapple and want to put it in my reserve of things to try. Problem: The book is bound in such a way that I can't get a clear undistorted photocopy of the (permission granted reproducable) page for the paper piecing pattern for that block. I can't screw up the binding becuase the book is from the library (they tend to frown on that type of thing *smirk*). I am wondering if anyone has been able to get a clear copy of the paper piecing pineapple and would send me a copy so it can go in my "wanna do" pile? Danke, Tricia |

Have you got Greaseproof paper? Not the waxed stuff you wrap sandwiches in
but similar to baking paper. Or tracing paper. Rip some off the roll and trace the picture with that. Then photocopy that picture. Actually most of my PP stuff is done that way - and I just trace "x" amount of copies. -- Sharon from Melbourne Australia (Queen of Down Under) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/craft.html (takes a while to load) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/shazrules/my_photos (same as website but quicker) "Tricia" wrote in message oups.com...

Danke, Tricia Tricia- I think Sharon is referring to parchment paper. Some grocerer stores carry it and kitchen stores, too. BTW That's a great idea for tracing, Sharron! I could make you a copy of the pattern out of my book if you are still looking for one. Email me off group. Regards, Gina in Colorado |

Danke, Tricia Sorry I can't help with the copies, I don't have that book. Do they have a photocopy machine at the library? You might plead helpless to a librarian and see if he/she will squish the book for you. There are corrections on the book on the publishers website you might want to check before sewing incase any corrections apply to what you are working on: http://www.ctpub.com/client/client_p...rata/10264.cfm marcella |

Try to photocopy the page with the binding off the edge of the machine
and see if you can get a good quality copy of half of the pattern. If you do then just cut and paste to have a full size master pattern to copy. While you are waiting for the time to make an entire quilt from the pineapple pattern why not make a few placemats or table cover. The pineapple pattern if perfect for this type of project. For the placemat use the pineapple technique to create a rectangle.

Thank you all for the suggestions and the links. =)
I hadn't looked hard enough to realize that it was a symmetrical pattern (was tired when I looked at it -- frequent state of being lately with medication adjustments). Off to play, T. =) |

Marcella,
Thanks for those corrections -- they did apply to the edition of the book I have borrowed from the library. I printed them up and put them with the book witha note stating they are publisher's corrections. Hopefully, the library staff will find a permanent way to include them with the book for future users. Thanks again, Tricia |
