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

A friend sent me another article<\/a> about the health benefits of quiltmaking. This is, what I would call, a readable scholarly article. I am not familiar with the publication, but I always enjoy reading about the health benefits of my passion.<\/p>\n

I didn’t know that Ruby McKim still had a website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sara over at Sew Sweetness is hosting a quilt fiction book club<\/a> with projects. No idea on what the projects are or if there is a cost.<\/p>\n

F&W Media<\/a>, the ‘enthusiast’ company has filed for chapter 11 and will sell their assets. F&W is the owner of such quiltmaking properties as Quilting Arts and Cloth Paper Scissors. they also own book imprints such as Interweave (where they ruined their quilt history magazine), SewandSo, The Quilting Company (includes Fons & Porter), North Light Books, and Krause Publications, all publishers who produce quiltmaking books. You can find more business-type information on the Bloomberg page<\/a>. Abby Glassenberg wrote a blog post about the sale of recent ceasation of publication<\/a> of some of their magazines. In my opinion, the changes they made to the successful publications they purchased led to this situation. I hope someone better (Fortunoff??) will buy some of these former gems and restore them to their glory.<\/p>\n

Projects, Patterns and Tutorials<\/strong><\/p>\n

Valerie has a portion of the latest scrap quilt by Charlotte Hawke posted on her blog<\/a>. I really like the Trip Around the World look and putting it on point makes it even better. The post includes a description of mystery quilts and some of those Charlotte has designed.<\/p>\n

Ronni of Road Home Quilting posted a Peaky & Spike tutorial<\/a>. No special rulers required.<\/p>\n

Knot and Design has a pattern<\/a> for fabric and vinyl pouches that are interesting.<\/p>\n

Lieblingsdecke has a really great cushion cover pattern<\/a> using paper foundation piecing. If you need help foundation piecing, check out my tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Patti told us about a quilted scissor holder tutorial<\/a> from Miss Sews-it-all<\/a>. I went and found the 2015 post and may make some of those for gifts.<\/p>\n

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

The Million Pillowcase challenge is still going strong. Their website<\/a> has patterns and other information.<\/p>\n

Theresa gave Sara of Sew Sweetness permission to share her document<\/a> that gives information on the kind of yardage you need for Sew Sweetness patterns. This is a google Drive document and I have no control over it.<\/p>\n

Shops<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone pointed out a shop with lots of Kaffe Fassett (and Philip Jacobs!) fabrics: Sew Colorful<\/a>.<\/p>\n
