Various & Sundry 2014 #14

Patterns and Blocks

Camille Roskelly posted about Market and included some info about a new Scraps Inc book. She contributed a quilt, parts of which look like inside out Flying Geese.

Starting in January, you can help raise money for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and get a quilt pattern. Read about it on Camille Roskelley’s blog.

EQ held a BlockBase Sew-along back in 2012. In writing a review for you, I found it and thought I would share. I would probably get overly ambitious and do something like make all the blocks in a smaller size a la Dear Jane, but this Sew-along is a good start.

You can always use my pillowcase guidelines, but if you want a different experience, take a look at A Spoonful of Sugar’s pillowcase design. This is a really pretty post as well.

Exhibits and Such

BAMQG members have quilts inspired by Amish quilts at the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. There is a recent, interesting article in the San Jose Mercury News, which a friend from Chicago sent me!

Primal Green 2 is on at the San Francisco Public Library. This is the main branch and the exhibit is on the 5th floor. I have three quilts, Beach Town, Flower Garden and the Whole Cloth Quilt in the show.

Social Media

This is such a tough time of year to write a blog. I sometimes wonder why I do it and I realized that I wonder that more during this time of year than other times. I get myself back in a right place in my head and remind myself that I do this writing for myself and my blog has become a great resource for myself! I know you are busy, but take a moment to comment on the blog. I get a lot out of your comments and am glad you are reading.

Tools, Supplies and Fabric

I found out from Alyssa Lichner that she has updatedthe Kona® Cotton to Aurifil Thread Conversion Chart and you can find it by going to her site.

Media

I heard from Ms. Lottie that Linda and Laura Kemshall have a new magazine out, Through Our Hands.

The Electric Quilt Company will soon have online classes. Keep checking their website for start dates and titles of classes.

  1. Hi Jaye, I love your blog and I do read every post. I don’t comment much, because if I addressed all that interested me, you would think me a looney bird! I’ve only been quilting a couple of years and I learn so much from you. I’m thankful for your blog…each and every article and picture…and your book reviews, too! Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a blessed 2015.

  2. Your Various and Sundry posts are always interesting, Jaye. You say you write for yourself, but I’m glad we can read what you write!

  4. I wonder how you manage to do as many posts as you do. I like seeing/reading what you are doing and the information you share.

    That’s great that you have 3 of your quilts in a show. 🙂

    1. I love it, which is why I do it. I may have to cut back just because I haven’t really had very much time to sew recently. I’ll try not to, but we will see.
