Just popping in this morning to let you know that there is a problem with the template for Hearth & Home in Issue 34 of Today's Quilter. If you are struggling to make your triangles work you can down load the correct template here.

EDIT: If you haven't been able find a copy of the magazine, you can buy the stand alone pattern in the PDF Pattern shop here. Paper Patterns here.

Enormous thanks to reader Jackie Maxwell for pointing out the error.

As always, let me know if you are struggling with a pattern: I'm always here to help. It's raining hard in Shropshire this morning, so it's very definitely a sewing day ;-)

I’m with you!! I cannot get my mind wrapped around the roof and gable of this pattern. I have made plenty of house patterns before, however I find this pattern is confusing and does not contain enough information. I’ve seen everything except for the roof portion any suggestions?

Replying to

I’m sorry that you’re finding making the roof/gable units of the Hearth and Home quilt frustrating.

I use the triangle-in-square unit quite a bit in my quilts and wrote my very first blog post about it here: -

I also wrote a more detailed post about the placement template technique, which you might find helpful, here: -

And I did a photo tutorial for a similar house block which uses the same template here: -

I really hope you’ll find those resources helpful xx

Dear Jean, I am really sad to read that you are disappointed. The Hearth & Home pattern has seven pages of directions with over 20 illustrations plus cutting diagrams and the template is, of course, included at no extra charge. I am writing to you to see how I can best resolve your complaint. Nicola xx

Very disappointed in the lack of info for the Hearth & Home pattern. I don’t mind spending. Little more, but never for such poor quality directions (or lack of). Then you want to rip me off more for the paper template? NO.
