BUT ..... I DID IT!!!!! Woohoo and a little happy dance - oh I haven't done that for ages he he he :o). So ..... presenting .... drumroll ......................... the very first JoyPatch pattern available for PDF download is .................DIAMONDS AND BRAIDS!!!!!!! This has been my most popular pattern by far so I thought I'd do this one for you first. So a quick reminder for those of you that aren't familiar with it .... this is the one I did for my DS and DIL for their wedding pressie......
+Quilt+for+Ross+%26+Alicia.jpg)
This one is done in one of my very favourite ranges - Aviary by Moda ... mmmmmm :o)......+Diamonds+and+Braids+-+Aviary.jpg)
and lastly this is the original quilt that I made from this pattern ... I think the ranges I used were 'Laurel' for the braids and 'Dominique' for the diamonds.
The finished quilt is about 61" x 63" and is quilt-as-you-go. I used 1 jelly roll and 45 charm squares but you could make it from scraps too if you prefer!!! I'll still be selling my paper patterns on my website but this way you save $$$$ as there is no postage because I simply email the pattern to you - and so the price is lower as it costs me less too :o)!!! Perfect for buyers outside of Australia ;o).I'll be doing more PDFs in the future so if there are any you'd like just give me a yell :o).
PS ..... I've also managed to add the "Dragonflight" pattern too :o). These patterns can be emailed to you after payment is received so there are no postage costs!!!

Hey Joy! Oh ... I feel your pain at learning to work with Vista! I did a LOT of swearing when I made the change over and nearly throttled GB, but not have adjusted and find it hard to use anything else - like when I'm at work and working with REALLY old software! SIGH! Love the Aviary version of your yummy Diamonds and Braids quilt - I think it's my favourite range of fabrics ever and looks great made into your quilt design!! Bear Hugs! KRIS
Me too Joy....I hated Vista at first (change....grrrrrr!) but love it now. Had to change back to the older version and find myself looking for the Vista features (double grrrrrr!)
Love your design, and yep, Aviary is my fave too! (original aren't I??)

Gorgeous !! Love all versions but Aviary is my favourite.
Congratulations to you!!!!! That quilt is stunning in any version!
Clever girl on sorting out all the pdf/paypal maze. Lovely pattern, great idea selling them on-line, no postage. Saves you time too.
I hear Vista is not an easy one to use...so well done!
Love the quilt!
I too spent all day doing a PDF file for my Etsy..once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy..
great way to sell...no postage and it's almost instant!
Hugs Julia ♥

I'm so proud of you Ethel! You to will grow to love Vista and won't be able to go back! I was forced to use Hubbys XP Desktop while mine is at the Dr's and I had to upgrade it to Vista, I couldn't stand XP anymore! Its too slow and much better features on Vista.
I love you and so proud that you got your PDF's happening! I love the dragonfly quilt! It's definately my favourite, I even have a Jelly Roll that may just end up as one of your quilts! Super sized Hugs and Chocolate kisses P xxx
Oh! I love all of them BUT Aviary is my favorite!!
I don't want to ever think about dealing with Vista issues!
