I've decided I need to make a New York Beauty quilt someday, paper
pieced. Where should I start? Which books should I buy? Karen Stone's book seems to be out of stock on amazon (where I have a gift certificate). Valori Wells' Radiant NY Beauties is there though. Does anyone know if either of these come with CD"s to print the paper piece patterns, so I don't have to fiddle with photocopying them? Thanks, as always! PS: I know how to paper piece, so I don't need help on that part, but the NYB part is a mystery to me. Lynn, who shouldn't even be thinking about another project yet. |

The Karen Stone Quilts books has a CD available to print out the
patterns. But I you do have to have EQ5 to use it. (I got the CD/software before I got the book. G) I love being able to print out the foundations what ever size I want to make. Have also done one of the other quilts in the book/cd, and am contemplating others. Pati, in Phx quilter wrote: I've decided I need to make a New York Beauty quilt someday, paper pieced.

If you have some idea what (like how many "spikes" per arc, etc) you want
you can design one on EQ and you can print it out to any size you need. If you have no idea you can just design a whole lot and play with them.

Want a lesson? From you? Any day! Thanks Cheryl. I don't know why I didn't even think of using EQ4. I'm not sure if I can print on EQ4, running through the Virtual PC emulator. I'll have to give it a try. I think I could use the paper piecing patterns Tina sent the link for and then find similar ones in EQ4 to visualize them all together and play with colors... that should work. There goes the rest of my night (and the progress on my current quilt project, oops). -Lynn |

thanks for the link. All of this talk about NYB has put me in the mood
to make one but I must put it right out of my mind. I have two special wedding gifts, a very special baby gift and class samples to make. Must not start a NYB, must not start a NYB, Must Not Start a NYB. . . ..

However, I found a cute little app called -- appropriately enough -- CutePDF at http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp (free version). Now whenever I "print" something in VPC, it simply saves as a .pdf file in my Shared folder; then I can access it from my Mac and print it normally without any size "translation" problems.

oh yes! Cute PDF writer is great! I used it to make the PDF files on my
website - I had complaints about the html pages but never about the PDF files. The only problem with it is remembering to *print* it to the writer instead of saving as one would normally do. But it is something one can get used to pretty fast if done enough ;-) -- Jessamy In The Netherlands Take out: so much quilting to reply.
