Down the Rabbit Hole March Month 3

1 1 This pattern is for personal use only. Do not photocopy, distribute or use for group projects without the designers permission. Sarah Fielke 2016 down the Rabbit hole March Month 3 Hi everyone! And welcome to Month 3 of the down the Rabbit hole BOM. I m so happy to see you all again. Before we start - some housekeeping. I would ask that you PLEASE READ THIS SECTION each Month - it will have information you may be wondering about and reminders of things that are important. The answers to many of the questions you all have are here already.

2 *PATTERN ACCESS - As you have no doubt realised by now, nothing will be emailed to you every Month except a hello and a heads up that the pattern is ready. Everything is stored on the private website, all year, so that if you are behind or need to check something, it s all there waiting for you. Last year we answered a lot of emails about lost patterns, so this is for our sanity as much as for your ease in locating things! Please make sure and bookmark the website page on your computer or tablet, and keep your password handy.

3 A reminder that the website is for subscribers only - we can actually see if more than one URL is sharing the same subscription. * FACEBOOK - if you have signed up under a different name, or surname, than what is on your Paypal account, I don t know who you are and I can t give you access to the group. If this is the case, it s easily remedied by sending me the name and email address you are registered with. I get a lot of requests to join - some are spam, some are people not signed up, and some are legitimate peeps.

4 So you can see I have to ask who everyone is, or we will have a group filled with people who aren t making the quilt, and spammers! To join the group, you need to type Sarah Fielke BOM 2017 into the Facebook search bar. You can then send me a request to join. We currently have about 900 members from 28 countries, so it s worth joining Facebook to come and see what everyone is up to. The page is private for good reasons - partly because you have all paid for private access and interaction, and partly because there are lots of people who have joined Facebook just for this and they don t want to be public.

5 It also keeps the spammers and trolls away. There is NO PATTERN INFORMATION on Facebook, everything to do with the patterns and videos is at the website. You do not HAVE to join the Facebook page, it s just a nice social option. 2 This pattern is for personal use only. Do not photocopy, distribute or use for group projects without the designers permission. Sarah Fielke 2016 Lets get down to it! * Your gardens are really growing now. Once you have all your flowers finished and the stems stitched down , you can start to add your leaves.

6 Each Month I will give you a portion of the quilt to work on. Sometimes we will spend more than one Month on one border, and other times a border will just be a Month s work. Some of the months have more work than others, and some are easier to allow you to catch up. We will spend THREE MONTHS on the centre of the quilt, and we are now in our last Month . * Next Month we will move on to houses. The ROOFS for the houses are foundation paper pieced, that means they are pieced by printing the pattern onto papers, which are then stitched through by machine.

7 For this you will need foundation paper to print your roofs on to before stitching - you can find the paper under BOM 2017 Notions at my website. * All the templates and notions are still available, and will remain available all year. If you see me demonstrate something and decide you need to have it after all, no problem - just go to my website and look under BOM 2017 Notions . Sometimes when you order something it will be out of stock - I do my best to keep things in but distributors don t always have things when I need them.

8 If something in your order is out of stock I will let you know when you place your order. * Please make sure and check on your Paypal account from time to time if you are paying Month by Month . Paypal only tries once to process your monthly payment. If they try a second time and have no luck, they cut the account off immediately. I have no control over that and I can't reinstate the account, it has to be set up again from a new invoice from scratch. If I don't have your monthly payment, I can't send you your pattern!

9 So if you have an email from Paypal please read it, as it may be about a missed payment for your BOM. * A small reminder that the website, pattern, templates and videos for this Block of the Month are my copyright, and are for your own personal use only. Subscriptions and materials are NOT to be shared amongst friends or groups, posted online, copied and distributed, attached to your blog or website, or used as teaching tools or class materials under any circumstance unless you have my express permission.

10 * Here s my monthly reminder - it s an important one. The printable templates come with a 1 marker line, on every single sheet. You need to set your printer on PRINT TO SCALE, not on fit to page. When you have printed the page, take a ruler or a tape measure and check that the scale on your pages is exactly 1 . If it is not 1 , your templates are not the right size and you need to adjust your printer. This has NOTHING to do with the size of the file I ve sent you, the size of the paper you are using or anything else - all these pages are fit to print for legal, letter or A4 paper.
