Of course, I did a search for quilt in California in the late 1800s\/early 1900s. I found a picture of a <a href=\"http:\/\/chroniclingamerica.loc.gov\/lccn\/sn85066387\/1906-12-30\/ed-1\/seq-9\/\" target=\"_blank\">quiltmaker stitching away on a sampler quilt<\/a> in the SF Call.

Her pillow is really nice looking. I was so surprised to see that someone else found this pattern and actually made it.

I also would like to expose my blog to new readers. All of you are fab! I&#8217;d like a few more comments on my posts and some more links from other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>I had to write a new post and the Renewed Jelly Roll Race has an interesting story. I know a lot of you have heard it all before, but I hope I changed it up a bit so you wouldn&#8217;t be bored. I also didn&#8217;t make that the only post of the day. See? I am always thinking of you, my dear readers. \ud83d\ude09 I thought about the Flowering Snowball, but it isn&#8217;t done yet, I don&#8217;t have a photo. Blah. Blah. Blah. If you feel like it, there are a lot of gorgeous quilts on the site that you could look at after you nominate and vote for my quilt. ;-). Here is the schedule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>October 26 \u2013 31 Linky open<\/li>\n<li>November 1 \u2013 4 Nominations are made (this is where you nominate me)<\/li>\n<li>November 5 -8 Vote for your favorites<\/li>\n<li>November 9 Winners announced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I also saw this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsandbutterflies.com\/2012\/10\/blogger-fall-quilt-festival-artists.html\" target=\"_blank\">palette quilt-let<\/a> via a link from the Blogger&#8217;s Quilt Festival. I have been wanting to make a palette block for my mom as part of larger quilt, which isn&#8217;t designed yet. Food for thought for sure.<\/p>\n<p>I also this <a href=\"http:\/\/shape-moth.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/epp-pillow-travellin-pic-stitch-bloghop.html\" target=\"_blank\">interlocking wheels pillow<\/a>. I don&#8217;t know if that is the real name, but that immediately leaped into my mind when I saw it. Shape Moth has an interesting way of combining colors.<\/p>\n<p>I also saw a <a href=\"http:\/\/girottifamily.typepad.com\/mountain_musings\/2012\/10\/bloggers-quilt-festival-cake-walk.html\" target=\"_blank\">CakeWalk<\/a> quilt from <a href=\"http:\/\/girottifamily.typepad.com\/mountain_musings\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mountain Musings<\/a>. The fabrics are very cheerful and remind me of the fabrics I am using for <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2011\/10\/hexagon-progress\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flower Sugar Hexagon<\/a> quilt. The maker links back to the designer&#8217;s blog and the story of what a CakeWalk is is very interesting. I have never heard of it before. I really liked this blog, in general. It wasn&#8217;t all quilts-all-the-time, but it had a nice feel to it.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that surprised was how many quilts were from patterns. At least the makers acknowledged and\/or linked back to the pattern makers. If you have never designed your own quilts, tell me what is stopping you. Perhaps that is a tutorial I can work up.<\/p>\n<p>So far I have gotten some wonderful comments from people on the Renewed Jelly Roll Race. I am not the only one who is confused by the popularity of the technique! One person asked me to write a pattern!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fabric, Supplies and Tools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was asked recently to write some tutorials on EQ7. I haven&#8217;t done it, but the topic is on my radar. I saw an EQ7 tutorial for <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.geneblack.com\/2012\/10\/eq7-printing-foundations.html\" target=\"_blank\">printing foundations<\/a> from an Alabama artist. He doesn&#8217;t seem to tag his posts, so I would have troll through it to see what other EQ7 info he has posted. Too bad. Tagging is useful. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to explore yet, but it might be a source of additional information for you. Let me know what you find.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ellen Rushman wrote her Master&#8217;s thesis, called Modern Quilting: A DIY Discourse, for her degree from the College of Education and Human Sciences, major in Textiles and Clothing Design and has <a href=\"http:\/\/digitalcommons.unl.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1143&amp;context=cehsdiss\" target=\"_blank\">posted it<\/a> on the UNL website for your perusal. The thesis explores the Modern Quilt movement from the perspective of quiltmakers who self identify as modern quilters or were at a meeting where interviews were taking place. Ms. Rushman concludes that the Modern Quilt movement is both an aesthetic and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Did you see the tutorials I posted this week? <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/sampler-class-fusible-machine-applique-tutorial-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 1<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/sampler-class-fusible-machine-applique-tutorial-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">part 2<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/?p=15441\" target=\"_blank\">part 3<\/a> of fusible machine applique&#8217;. These will soon be posted on the <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-projects-tutorials\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tutorials<\/a> page as well. I really had to break it up into three parts. No sane person could write a post that long and no sane person could read a post that long. Hope you were able to follow along. Let me know if anything is unclear. I know the parts about how you turn your fabric to get a smooth zig zag are tricky. I know my brilliant readers will rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around the Web Sigh. Camille Roskelley was featured on House of Turquoise.
