Hi Chris, I follow UKQU using ‘Bloglovin’, and thought I’d like to have a go at this puzzle – is intriguing, and thank you for putting it out there.
However, when ‘ordering’ the worksheet, it seems that where I live – Melbourne, Australia – is creating a technical problem with the process. I’ve submitted an eticket, but have not had a response. Is there a way around, can the worksheet be directly emailed to me?
Thank you-
Hi. Sorry to hear that – I know the website does sometimes have problems with ‘overseas’ stuff. In the meantime I am also posting this quilt-along on my own blog – Meadowsidedesign.wordpress – and you should be able to download it from there as well if the UKQU download isn’t working for you.
