I saw a pattern for a rectangular bag about the size of a sideways wine bottle. It is from Ujamaa Bagettes. The pattern is called Wined Up. The shop has several other patterns as well.

The Quilt Index is an index of quilts, as the name says. Regular people, like YOU can add your quilts to the index. Click the link, fill out the form, upload a photo and voila!
Events, Exhibits and Organizations
The first is at the Iowa Quilt Museum in Winterset, Iowa. It’s a retrospective of 10 years of exhibits at the museum with quilts from every (or most?) show they’ve done. My Supernova quilt is one of the quilts on display until October, 18, 2026.

All the quilts that were part of my gallery walk at the recent Quilters Hall of Fame Celebration are now on display at the Marie Webster House until October 3. Additionally, they will have Playful Spirit, which was part of the Jewel Box Quilt Guild exhibit and my daughter’s Crazy Quilt, which was also part of that display.

Media & Articles
If you don’t read Judy Martin’s occasional newsletter, do it. Totally worth your time.
Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese artist famous for her polka-dot-covered paintings and mirrored “Infinity Room” installations, died at 97. She was an avant-garde radical who became a pop icon. This is so sad on top of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.
Inspiration
Apparently, I am not inspired this month…or too lazy to ask for permission to post things.

Everything this month is quilt related.
