Update 12 Jan, thanks for your help everyone. From now on, I'll be launching current BOM blocks right here on my blog as well as in my BOM Group over on Facebook.

I need as many people as possible to test whether or not Google Drive is going to work on this blog to download PDFs. To help me, simply download my pattern 'Lily Rose' by clicking the image below.
The complete pattern should open in a new window, ready to print
If it does, please leave a comment letting me know that it worked. Or not.
That's all. Thank you so much for taking a minute to help me out today!
the link has now been removed, thanks to everyone who took the time to help |
But...
There's always a but. No matter how well meaning you are, there are always issues. Some former members just don't want to move to Facebook and I just don't want to leave them behind. So, I'm happy to see if I can release BOM installments right here on the blog post each month. It should be possible, but I don't want to get people's hopes up without some kind of test first. This post is that test.
Thanks again for helping me out
Please consider your downloaded Lily Rose pattern as my thank you gift

Hi Esther - the download worked fine for me. Best wishes for your new FB group!
ReplyDeleteI could see the first 5 pages, but then it just said there was an error downloading the file. But I have a very poor internet connection, so am possibly not the best person to test it!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping this would work for your Vireya :( I know you couldn't get onto Facebook for the same reasons... how on earth did you manage to get it from Yahoo?
DeleteHello Esther, the download worked fine.
DeleteHi Esther! It opened fine for me, and I was able to save it OK, and once saved I could print it, but I couldn't print it from the webpage itself.
ReplyDeleteGood to know, thanks SoozeM

Dear Esther
ReplyDeleteIt Works! On the first attempt. I am glad, as I did not want to join Facebook. Looked at all 33 pages, your pattern has a lot of detail, which is amazing.

ReplyDeleteHello Esther,
ReplyDeleteno problem, it works perfect. Thanks for the pattern and your care.
Marita
Yup! It worked!
ReplyDeleteHello Esther, Works great. I have a question, when you moved to Facebook, did you move all the members from Yahoo to Facebook or do we have to sign up for Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to see all the issues that you and your Moderators had to deal with in this decision. It was not necessary for that to happen. Have a great day.
Hi Chopin,
DeleteYou will need to sign up for a Facebook account & then search (using the Facebook search option) for Esther's BOM.
:)
Hello, Esther, I tested this for you with no problems.
ReplyDeleteI have two devices; I tried it on, both are Samsung. I also have Google as my sign-in email for both devices.
I pushed the downward arrow on the page that came up then the system offered to open file. It opened very easily. Thank you.
Worked. Used iPad on OS operating system. :)
ReplyDeleteWorked for me, thanks for the great patterns and info.

ReplyDeleteThanx for the pattern. The download worked great for me. Have a great week and keep designing!
ReplyDeleteWorked fine for me. I am using a Mac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
ReplyDeleteExtremely easy to download.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther - it downloaded just fine for me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Esther. It was easy to download. Thank you for all the patterns you share.
ReplyDeleteThank you Esther! This works perfectly! I've had difficulty previously on both Yahoo groups and a Facebook "private" quilting group with privacy issues and hacking issues, not so with the use of blogs though. I'm so happy to be able to continue to share in the use of your beautiful, gorgeous patterns!
ReplyDeleteWorked for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Everything worked just fine.
ReplyDeleteIt works fine with Chrome. I tried also with Firefox (good), and Opera (good too). Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, download isfine. thanks for pattern.

All 33 pages came through fine. What HTML code do you use to insert a google doc in a blog post??
ReplyDeleteWorked fine, but I am a Google+ user. Best test would be from someone who doesn't use Google at all. Also, I don't use Facebook and would not sign up just to get your patterns. Even you are not worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt worked for me. Beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteWorked great. Thank you for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther,
ReplyDeleteThis download worked perfectly for me. I am using Windows 7, on Google+ and using Chrome as my browser. Have no idea if that info is useful to you. Lol
But what a beautiful pattern. How generous you are to share it.
All your work is inspiring. Thanks.
Dear Esther,
ReplyDeletedownload works fine for me. Thank you so much for your beautiful pattern!

This works just fine. One of the things I appreciate about Google Drive is that I can open this file on any device, including my phone and tablet, both online and offline. That means I have access to my patterns anywhere, and don't have to waste paper printing anything out. And thank you for this alternative. Have you considered setting up a Google+ Community as an option to those who can't/won't use FB?
ReplyDeleteYes, worked just fine. Lovely pattern
ReplyDeleteI successfully downloaded Lily Rose on my older iPad and my iPhone 6. I also succeeded with my Macintosh computer using Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome. Although I have a Google Drive account, none of my download attempts prompted me to log in which suggests that even those without Google accounts will be able to download without a problem. I see from other commenters that it's working well on Android tablets as well as Windows 7, 8 and 10 using Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. It looks like you've found an approach that will work for many of your followers! Thank you for this and for your beautiful patterns.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther,
ReplyDeleteThe download worked fine for me. Thank you for sharing this lovely pattern with us.
Carole from Canada
it worked, thanks
ReplyDeleteOpened fine and all pages are visible on a first generation iPad and an older PC.
ReplyDeleteThe download worked for me. I'm so glad you're considering this option. And thank you for the pattern. Lovely as always

ReplyDeleteThe download also worked for me. As I had already downloaded from FB, I renamed, saved and then opened the file. All worked fine. Thank you again, not only for your patterns, but your generosity of your time to find alternate methods of providing this to (hopefully) everyone. After all the ruckus about moving I don't know if I would have been as generous ;-D
ReplyDeleteWorked a treat! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI downloaded it fine to my iPad. Few pages missing when I just opened it before I actually downloaded the file. But we don't have the fastest internet either.
ReplyDeleteIt works!
ReplyDeleteworked just fine, thank you
ReplyDeleteI was able to download and print; the only problem is the 1" test is 1/8" smaller than 1". Thanks for taking the time to test this; you are so appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful pattern Esther, it works.
ReplyDeletehi Esther
ReplyDeletethe download worked for me. thanks for the pattern

Worked fine.
ReplyDeleteWorked for me. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Esther the download worked perfect. No problem for trying this for you. Fine evening from ineke from the Netherlands
ReplyDeleteWorked perfectly for me. Lovely design! Leave it to you, Esther, to do backflips in order to make everyone happy. I just wanted to check out this option since you asked, but love FB, too. One thing: I had to remind myself to change the printer setting from Letter Size paper (which comes up as the default, same as all your downloads) to the A4 paper, and of course, put the A4 in my paper feed tray. Hugs to you, Jeanne Sullivan (Annapolis, Maryland, USA)
ReplyDeleteIt has worked for me too,
ReplyDeletexx
It worked for me as far as the download is concerned. I have not checked to see if the size is correct. Thanks for doing this.
ReplyDeleteThat works for me also. Thank you very much for your kindness!
ReplyDeleteGreeting Guilitta

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Esther. How kind and considerate of you to put this option together for those of us wanting to continue to participate. I had no problem with the Download or the printing. -Donna Kooistra
ReplyDeleteI was able to follow links and print off. No problems. :) Thankyou. Look forward to joining along with you. I have always wanted to but not on either Yahoo or Face Book. Happy Stitching.
ReplyDeleteWorked fine for me on a 9Mb internet connection out in the countryside :)
ReplyDeleteworked great for me - downloaded on a Mac using chrome for a browser ;-) and thank you for another great pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt worked perfectly no problems at all, thank you so much!. I will be joining the Facebook group since I'm already a member of many other groups on there and I find it very user friendly!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Now I know why I couldn'the find you on yahoo groups the other day. I am so glad you will offer the patterns on this site since I do not use facebook. Thank you so much, looking forward to the 2016 BOM!
ReplyDeleteEsther, Thank you so much for your generosity. Even though I already had this pattern I did test the download and it worked perfectly. I do enjoy your patterns for the absolute attention to detail and am currently appliqueing Nelke although I don't quite know what that word means. I'm sure that it has significance to you but for me here in Canada it doesn't and I'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteIt worked perfect, I am using a Samsung tablet:. Greetings from the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded from FB and Google Drive, and both worked. The Google Drive lakes a little bit longer, but images are clean and crisp.

ReplyDeleteHi Esther - it worked for me too however I am already a google drive user. Not sure if that makes a difference. Blessings. Bev
ReplyDeleteWorked just fine for me. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteWorked perfectly and fast too. Thank you so much since I am one of those who just isn't interested in Facebook. Other bloggers use this format too so it's available to everyone - not just those in the social media realm. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, I am on the FB page but found this link on your blog. I use a Mac so thought you would like to know how it worked. I had to save the file to the Google Drive, then under My files on Google Drive, I opened the file. It didn't want to print right away but when I used the PDF option it reopened the file and printed. Thank You so much for the pattern. I think I missed it somewhere along the way :)
ReplyDeleteWorked fine, Esther. I downloaded it from the email and your blog with no problem.
ReplyDeleteHello Esther, It worked just fine!
ReplyDeleteIt worked beautifully! Thank you very much

ReplyDeleteOh Esther, thank you so much, what a lovely test quilt. Wow! Worked easy peasy for me, on Microsoft system. I'm so very happy you're considering this format since I would like to avoid joining Facebook. You are incredibly sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt works just fine, thank you for all your work on this transition, it is so much easier on FB. I read from my iPad and when I click on the picture I save the PDF into IBooks then I only need to print off the applique pattern pages and the rest of the instructions are in my iBooks app on my iPad-saves paper :)
ReplyDeleteIt Works - so simple, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI was able to download Lily Rose; thank you so much (I'm one of those few who doesn't 'do Facebook' and I really don't want to start. However, if it meant it were the only way to access your patterns, that would be the thing that would push me over the edge!!
