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

Sweet Home Quilting has Sue Spargo wool<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Friends Sonja and Alison have Sew Perfect tables<\/a>. I was finally interested enough to go and look at them when Sonja said hers could move up and down so she could sit or stand at the machine.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Sampou’s Chalk and Charcoal Collection<\/a> by Robert Kaufman is wonderful. They have warm and cool colors as well as a number of widebacks. I really like the light grey.<\/p>\n

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

Christina Cameli has online classes<\/a>. I love the look of her Pathway Pillow<\/a> project. The quilting is simple, but very effective.<\/p>\n

I have been using the Spoonflower zipper installation<\/a>, which installs a zipper in the top (or bottom) seam. The guild sent me to a page of Sotak Handmade’s site and she has some instructions for installing a zipper in the back of the pillow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sotak Handmade has a big list of tutorials<\/a>, some of which would make great gifts (holidays are coming!). One that was used at a recent retreat I attended was a little flower pot<\/a>. It can be used for schnibbles, as a quick gift, for paperclips or as storage for a myriad of other things.<\/p>\n

After watching the video to make the Retreat Bag<\/a> I mentioned a few weeks ago, I saw that the host linked to a cosmetic bag pattern<\/a>. I liked the interesting shape of the bag. There is a video for that one as well. So Sew Easy has a whole bunch of different video<\/a>s, mostly lingerie and a variety of different bags.<\/p>\n

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

Tim recommended Lauren Mormino’s YouTube channel<\/a> to me. She is a bagmaker and creates videos for making bags. I get the impression that the bags are made by her, but are not her patterns. Tim is sewing a Noel Bag<\/a> and following Lauren’s video<\/a>.  According to Tim, she talks about the most efficient ways to make the bag, provides some hacks and generally walks you through it. She, apparently, has two IG profiles, Sewing with Lauren<\/a> and MoreMeKnow<\/a>. I see a little duplication, but one seems to be more whole life while the other is bags. Her website is MoreMeKnow.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Media, Exhibitions and Shows<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barbara Brackman showed some winners and related quilts from a 1927 quilt show in Seattle<\/a>. You may view the show catalog on the Hathi Trust site<\/a>.  You can download it from that site as well. It reminded me of the APNQ<\/a> – Association of Pacific Northwest Quilters – show I used to attend in Seattle.<\/p>\n

I went to listen to the interview I did recently with Jeff Rutherford. I am pretty proud of the way it came. I actually sound like I know what I am talking about. Then I went back and listened to the other episodes. It is interesting to hear how people answer the same questions. Also, I have never heard of these people! Am I just behind the times? One woman was Jessica Alexandrakis<\/a>.<\/p>\n
