Unfortunately, there is nothing to share! I did it just the way I explained, using a close-up photo of the pillow I showed at the beginning and taking it to be enlarged. Then I traced it on poster board and went from there. It doesn't need to be backwards since it's a stencil and not a transfer. Wish I could be more helpful! Thanks for your visit!...hugs...DebbieConfessions of a Plate Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264220207447111061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-33735692833829940732012-06-09T03:23:37.791-04:002012-06-09T03:23:37.791-04:00Didn't realize the rooster french pillow out o...Didn't realize the rooster french pillow out of grain sack was an older project. wow I love the things you make. You are so darned talented, let alone patient as a saint that I'm just inspired and very impressed. <br /> Is there any chance you have that stencil or would be willing to give us a transfer for that? My stupid printer won't reverse things. I know I have alot of nerve even asking, but pretty please? I have chickens in my kitchen also. boy do I love your chicken platter I saw in one of the pictures.<br /> Ok better get off here, it's 1:20 a.m. here in CO and I'm an old lady that needs her sleep. I won't say beauty,it's a little late for that, lol. Thanks so much for sharing so many wonderful things with us.

I purchased a stencil burner about ten years ago, back when I did a lot of stencilling, and it was worth it! I think it might have cost around $15.00, but it makes really short work of cutting a stencil. I used to cut "wallpaper" stencils sometimes when I was working as a decorator, and cutting by hand was just too slow and tedious. <br /><br />ScribblerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4452607877223303862.post-44574805094491977172010-05-17T14:55:40.486-04:002010-05-17T14:55:40.486-04:00I love the pillow!!!
