Hi Denniele I did not use Parlan because I have never been able to find a stockist in the UK. I use a fusible vilene but only behind the stitchery pieces. When I did Leannnes Down the Garden BOM I tried to put the vilene over the whole block but did not find I could do that so went back to my old method. I would like to give Parlan a try if ever I find it it the UK. Nice to chat to you Pam
Pam..thanks for your valuable information. I ordered parlan from Australia because I was unable to find anything close here. But i am thinking I have some fusible batting that looks suspiciously close...and available at home. I may have to try that. Thanks again and your blocks look marvelous!
Gorgeous work well done! I will hear in this week from the place I would like to order my kit from, so will have a lot of stitching to do to catch up once I get it (probably only after issue 2 comes out) and then from looking at the sneak peaks I have this suspicion I am going to have to start making hexies too :)
Thanks for the comments - I can get Pellon so perhaps I will give that a try sometime. Sandy at Cookies and Cream Craft has just send me a bundle of Where the Wind Blows fabric ready for the second Vignette magazine!!!!!
Pam...it is lovely! One question...did you use parlan on the back? and where exactly did you use it? Only on the stitchery part? Thanks. Denniele

Pam..... it's gorgeous!! I haven't even finished tracing it yet!!! I did get parlan and someone mentioned that thin pellon is almost the same anyways.
