I hadn&#8217;t until the other day. It looks like a Cricut, Accuquilt and a 3D printer all rolled into one. I have to investigate more to see what it can do. I hope it will be terrible so I won&#8217;t want one.<\/p>\n<p>I really like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinkdoorfabrics.com\/collections\/fabrics-by-manufacturer-andover\/Prism?page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new Prism fabrics<\/a> by Guicy Guice. I like the art swatches as well as the splatter prints.<\/p>\n<p>I know some of you like to knit. I signed up for the Maker&#8217;s Mercantile newsletter because of Franklin Habit. He is really funny. Now I enjoy looking at the yarns and projects. I am NOT buying, but I thought the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makersmercantile.com\/shop\/c\/p\/Gradient-by-Schoppel-Wolle-x27444829.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gradient yarns by Schoppel-Wolle<\/a> were gorgeous. Maker&#8217;s Mercantile has fabric and super fun buttons as well.<\/p>\n<p>Mary C (not my mom) turned me on to British bagmaker Mrs. H. I went wandering around the web the other day and found her Companion Carpet Bag. I am sorely tempted, but have another carpet bag pattern AND the frame, so I need to make that one first before purchasing another pattern. After going to her website, I found that she has a book called <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/33b8rRa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Complete Bag Making Masterclass<\/a>**. It isn&#8217;t yet available in the US, apparently, but is available for pre-order. I am not pre-ordering YET. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>Projects, Patterns &amp; Tutorials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jessica House has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/JessicaShouseCreates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">series of small patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sharon from Color Girl quilts has a series of <a href=\"https:\/\/colorgirlquilts.com\/2019\/02\/sampler-series-video-tutorials-all-done.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sampler block videos<\/a> up on her site. These might be a good way to improve your skills.<\/p>\n<p>Art Gallery has a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/liveartgalleryfabrics.com\/free-quilting-patterns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interesting free projects<\/a>.

(Thanks, La!)<\/li>\n<li>Owl Bee Crafting has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.owlbeecrafting.co.uk\/blog\/face-mask\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">face mask pattern<\/a>. This is a similar shape to some of the other patterns, but one thing I liked about the tutorial is that she shows some edges are pinked. Genius! Why didn&#8217;t I think of that to keep edges from unraveling?<\/li>\n<li>Jen Carlton Bailly has posted a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettycrockerass.com\/tips-and-tricks#\/face-coverings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tutorial<\/a> using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettycrockerass.com\/shop\/make-it-curvy-12-piece-template-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">templates that she sells<\/a> when she gives workshops. She also includes templates, so you are not forced to buy her templates. C&#8217;mon, though, you know you want them. She first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CCB5A_znuxG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">posted about it on IG<\/a>, which made me happy but also say DUH! Why didn&#8217;t I think of using them? Perfect idea. And another good use for those templates. There are other templates you can use as well, such as Drunkard&#8217;s Path templates.

The points are really apt. I especially like the comments about one quote and Julie Silber&#8217;s comments about it: &#8220;These quilts are great because they are almost like paintings&#8221; a statement she described as<br \/>\n&#8220;demeaning, condescending, dismissive (even contradictory.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julie&#8217;s opinion:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Quilts are not great because they look like other forms.
