Around and About the Web<\/strong><\/p>\n

My friend Natalie sent me a link this quilt\/map site<\/a>. I have to do some more investigation, but it looks like they will make a map of a variety of spaces using quiltmaking techniques. they describe themselves as “Haptic Lab is a small design studio in Brooklyn that creates products, spaces and situations to promote embodiment.” They also make Jell-o molds.<\/p>\n

Of course there is a Flickr group<\/a> for the QuiltCon block challenge. I shouldn’t have looked. I feel embarrassed about sending mine in. There is some really great work there. I need to up my game.<\/p>\n

Ebony Love, die cutting queen, has a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> to produce a book on die cutting tips. Tomorrow is the last day<\/em>, so click NOW, if you want to support. Even $5 helps. I don’t know Ebony. Patti turned me on to her. This is a project I supported because I haven’t seen a book like this and it doesn’t have EASY<\/em> in the title. Ebony seems to be doing something unique: creating a book that will tell you how to use your dies in existing patterns. There are all different levels at which to pledge. Her ultimate goal is $12,000, so she can attend Quilt Market and market the book. She is at $7700 as of this writing.\u00a0 I guess I need to get my act together and review my Accuquilt Go!<\/p>\n

SewedExcitedQuilts has a great post<\/a> about quotes she heard at a recent Quilts of Valor Sew Day. They are typical quiltmaker quotes you will recognize. Read them and have a laugh. You are not alone!<\/p>\n

Projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like this shoulder bag<\/a> – both the shape and the fabric – over at Moda Bakeshop.<\/p>\n

I get the Sew Daily newsletter – I wanted a free eBook and this was part of the package. Mostly, I don’t read it, but recently they wrote about using vintage (think of your special stash) fabrics in pillows. They show, what looks like, upholstery fabric (local folks: think Fabmo!) and talk about using vintage hankerchiefs. I still need to recover my living room pillows. I just haven’t found the right fabrics, but this blog post<\/a> puts the project back on my radar. I have had a lot of pillow drama, but pillows and pillow covers are still good projects for small amounts of fabrics or to try things out.<\/p>\n

Stars for San Bruno Again<\/strong><\/p>\n

I received a call from one of DH’s cousins. She is the sister of the cousin to whom Stars for San Bruno #1 was given. She went on and on about how they had received a quilt and it turned out it was made by me. I could not make her understand that I had coordinated the making of the quilt and actually sent it to DH’s cousin. It was a very strange conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
