Doing Good<\/strong><\/p>\n

The requests I told you about last month are still valid. Check them out at: Various & Sundry 2017 #15<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Tim posted a picture<\/a> of the pincushion I made for him in use<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I like the Trail Mix pattern<\/a>, though not the colors, from AllPeopleQuilt.com. I’d like to see it in brighter, fresher colors. I wish they would make a few so people with different tastes can see the variations. It is free, so go download it for use when you have a lot of scraps.<\/p>\n

Several clues for Bonnie Hunter’s Holiday Mystery quilt project have already been posted. Part One<\/a>, all about making 9 patches, came out on Black Friday. Part Two<\/a> came out recently. In it you make a bunch of Flying Geese. As usual, I am not doing it during the time of the mystery. I may do it later, but I am still working on En Provence<\/a>, the mystery quilt from last year, so I don’t really see the point of starting a new mystery quilt. I also need to get some of my own projects off my plate.<\/p>\n

City Quilter has a good deal on their Grand Central Pillowcase Kit<\/a>: the kit makes two pillowcases for $28.<\/p>\n

Tools, Supplies & Notions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creative Grids has a full listing<\/a> of all of its rulers. They suggest printing it and taking it with you when you go ruler shopping. I find this hilarious, but it is an excellent, comprehensive list to keep on your computer.<\/p>\n

Techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Self-bordering essay has gotten a lot of traction, about which I am inordinately pleased. Have you read it? What do you think?<\/p>\n

I have heard a lot about wall basting. Anything to get me off my knees and the floor. The fabulous Christa Watson has a tutorial<\/a>. The tutorial includes a link to her free Modern Puzzle quilt pattern,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
