The Quilts for a Cure winner was not me. \ud83d\ude41 or Julie :(, but I am sure the winner is thrilled. You can read more about it in the Quilts for a Cure newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Keepsake Quilting has been ripped from the claws of F&W and is in the process of being revitalized<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pat Sloan is talking about the charity project on which she is working on her blog . I found post when everyone was on block 4<\/a>. The project supports St. Jude’s Hospital and Moda is also involved. There is a video<\/a> that goes along with the post. They ask for a $5 donation for each pattern download. Another way to do some good.<\/p>\n

Patterns, Projects, Tutorials & Classes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deirdre showed me this Ultimate Carry All Bag<\/a>. The sample is made from beige. While I am all for light colored interiors, I don’t like the boring look of this project. Still, fabric aside, I think it would be a useful bag.<\/p>\n

Gretchen, a regular reader and contributor to the blog read about an addition to Tucker University, which was mention in V&S n.3<\/a>. Tucker University has teamed up with Siesta Charms<\/a> to reward your learning. This is a wholesale opportunity, so you have to visit your LQS and tell them you want those charms.<\/p>\n

Need a patchwork, drawstring bag? In Color Order has a tutorial<\/a>. You can use this pattern to make gift bags and also to use up scraps.<\/p>\n

At some point in my life I have to learn to do a good machine binding. I have tried, I have practiced, though not enough, and my machine bindings still aren’t up to my standards. Sew At Home Mummy has a machine binding tutorial<\/a> that I might try. Tim likes Sharon Schamber’s machine binding with glue technique<\/a>. This is a video and the music that plays at the beginning is a little startling – classic, perhaps Baroque? Sounds a bit Gothic cathedral-ish to me. I haven’t watched the video yet. Another technique to try.<\/p>\n

Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pam from Hip to Be a Square Podcast and The Stitch TV Show has posted a video on selecting fabric<\/a>.\u00a0 The video talks about starting with a focus\/feature fabric. You can see other ways to select fabrics in my tutorial<\/a>. Remember, choosing fabrics is very personal, so do what you like.<\/p>\n

Tools, Products, Fabric & Supplies<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have an Oliso iron. I bought it from MassDrop<\/a> when I shouldn’t have and REALLY like it. Lately, the feet have started to act up. I contacted Oliso and they provided some instructions, which were essentially how to reboot my iron. It worked a little bit, but quickly went back to acting up. Apparently they have a replacement program, so I sent my iron off and am waiting for a new one to arrive. In the meantime, I have a cheap one that my stepfather fixed that I use as a backup and it is working fine for what I need. I got this process started by contacting Oliso via their website. Ryan, the customer service rep who helped me (consistent service gets high marks) through whol process was very patient.<\/p>\n

Bernina 7 Series machine have special oiling instructions. Information is available on a recent Edgestitch post<\/a>. I do not have a Bernina, so I haven’t checked the information. Consult with your technician or deal if you have one of these machines.<\/p>\n
