Remember I made a Sew Together Bag<\/a> and the Tool Tote<\/a> and a One Hour Basket<\/a> with this Martha Negley Classics Dahlia Plum Cotton Fabric (PWMN063)? I think I want to make some more accessories for myself with it and I need yardage. Of course, the fabric is old and out of print. I have scoured the web. I keep coming up against a promising lead that, once followed, turns out to be sold out. If you have a real lead<\/strong> or some of this print that you don’t want or need, let me know.<\/p>\n

Other Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

I dip my toe into garment sewing<\/a> periodically. I am not very good at it and having my SIL nearby to help is a lifesaver. Recently, Laura Kemshall posted about a t-shirt<\/a> she made, which has a very nice shoulder design. It also looks like it fits well – or can be made to fit well. I like my t-shirts (and clothes, in general) to be fitted – not tarty. Crafty Gemini (Vanessa Vargas Wilson) also has the Westchester Dolman<\/a> shirt. This is also fitted and the PDF is a free pattern on her site. You can buy a hard copy (no affiliation) and the video series talking about making the shirt. I have the pattern, but haven’t made it yet.<\/p>\n

Charlotte, the Slightly Mad Quilt Lady posted this great quote on her blog<\/a> “So I could easily make excuses. And sometimes I do. But excuses do not make good art.”<\/p>\n

This video is the story<\/a> of Philip Jacobs.<\/p>\n

Amy Butler is leaving<\/a> the quilting industry. The article doesn’t say what she will do next, but this seems so strange to me. Why announce you are leaving? Why not just quietly move on to other things?<\/p>\n

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

Gretchen has some great tips on making a Jelly Roll Rug (yes, on my list, too) on her recent post<\/a> in addition to posting links about the various tutorials that have been created to help making it.<\/p>\n

Vanessa, the Crafty Gemini, has a free video on interfacing<\/a>s – when to use which and the usefulness of others.<\/p>\n

Amy Butler has patterns<\/a> on her website. The appearance of the patterns look really good on the page. the branding fits in with her other branding. Very professional.<\/p>\n

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

I found a comprehensive guide<\/a> on Aurifil.<\/p>\n

Inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n

The International Quilt Study Center’s quilt of the month for October is a Pine Burr<\/a> piece. I’d love to make a quilt like this using brighter colors. It isn’t an easy quilt to make and this example is masterful. I think it would need some paper piecing, though not all paper piecing. It definitely isn’t a pattern for the faint of heart.<\/p>\n

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

Sarah<\/a> pointed me to a Beauty Pageant linky<\/a>. Is that a fun name? It is an opportunity to show off your beautiful finishes. I looked at a few of the posts (only 3 available so far) and the author has posted some interesting projects – pillows, tote bags – no quilts yet. Link up and get some love on your projects.<\/p>\n

Laura Kemshall is being treated for bowel cancer. She wants to contribute to the Lingen Davis Ruby Appeal to raise \u00a31.25m by June 2019. She has a variety of ways she is raising the money including a Just Giving<\/a> page, if you want contribute.<\/p>\n

F&W shuts down more magazines<\/a>: Cloth, Paper, Scissors and Modern Patchwork are the quilt magazines affected.<\/p>\n
