Yes, I know. You want to know why all of my post titles have ‘catch up’ in them? I suppose that I am entering the time of the year when I am perpetually behind. It started early this year. Anyway, I hope these posts don’t bore you to tears or prevent you from posting comments. I love your comments.<\/p>\n
Quilt World News<\/strong><\/p>\n I listened to Annie Smith catch up podcast<\/a> on Friday and heard that Mark Lipinski is giving up both his QNNTV show AND Mark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home magazine. apparently, the current issue is his last. Huh?<\/p>\n I went and looked at Mark’s blog post from a few days ago<\/a> – actually, September 24 – and all of this is true, sadly. Subsequent posts have his Aurifil thread collection and his new fabric collection featured, but nothing else. Stay tuned, I guess.<\/p>\n New blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n Three Kitchen Fairies<\/a> – I don’t know how I found this blog – some link from somewhere. I really like it and was particularly enamored with her ‘Pay it Forward’ concept. She details it in her post<\/a> and button<\/a>. She writes about getting a gift and her resolve to Pay it Forward. I love this idea. We have a lot of bridges here in the Bay Area so sometimes I pay for people crossing the bridge behind me. Stay tuned for something quilt related along these lines here at Artquiltmaker blog. Perhaps you will consider paying it forward?<\/p>\n Ginger Monkey<\/a>: I found this blog via 3 Kitchen Fairies blog. Somehow Ginger Monkey is also connected<\/a> to the quilt Pay It Forward concept, but I am not sure how. I still like this blog based on the bit of exploring I have done. I like the look, the colors. She has a tutorial for a Spiderweb quilt<\/a>, which reminds me that I also have a Spiderweb quilt in progress<\/a>. I think she has more than one in progress or has made more than one. In any case, I like that pattern, and Ginger Monkey’s color sense. I like some of the buttons she has. I think buttons give people a sense of who the writer is and some idea of their quilt values. Hers look friendly and kind to me, after a quick glance.<\/p>\n Red Pepper Quilts<\/a> has a lot of really cool, bright and cheerful quilts. Her Flickr stream<\/a> has a lot of wonderful photos.<\/p>\n Ask and You Shall Receive<\/strong><\/p>\n Sometime, in the not too distant past<\/a>, I talked a bit about sewing oilcloth, or laminated cotton, as I have learned it is really called. Kathy, over at Pink Chalk Studio, wrote a long blog post<\/a> about using laminated cottons and shows her impeccable photos to display the finished product. Also, the comments posted to her blog are very helpful.<\/p>\n Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n I saw this cool scrap buster quilt on Flickr from Red Pepper Quilts <\/a>. Very cheerful, don’t you think?<\/p>\n Holiday Crafts<\/strong><\/p>\n As if you didn’t need more to do as you gear up for Thanksgiving and the December craziness, my friend Kathy of Everyday Bliss<\/a>, found this link to making individual paper envelopes<\/a>. They look really fun and would be great for gift certificates or other flat gifts. You might remember Kathy from Creative Prompt #35<\/a>, where we did a joint special prompt posting to link our two projects together.<\/p>\n Other Patterns<\/strong><\/p>\n Here is a Wagon Wheel tutorial<\/a>. This is another great pattern that would be great for a scrap quilt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, I know.
