Admin<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have updated the Tutorials page<\/a> with a link to the new Orange Peel Circle tutorial. Get a Clammy<\/a>** and try it!<\/p>\n

I have updated the Color Improv Donation Quilt page<\/a> with the new Swamp Thing.<\/p>\n

Of course, I updated the Minikins page<\/a> since I can’t seem to stop making those pouches and bags!<\/p>\n

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

I am really tempted by the Tula Pink Mini Bag Club<\/a>. There are some downsides, though. Most importantly I am concerned that I already have the patterns they will send. Still, maybe I will try it for a few months.<\/p>\n

Basketweave Baby<\/a> is moving up my ‘To Make’ list. In the meantime I have been looking at woven patterns. I saw one by Leah Day<\/a> that I might make as a quick baby quilt.<\/p>\n

Julie has a great post<\/a> about pre-washing with example photos. While you make your own choices, if you don’t normally pre-wash your fabric, you must read it.<\/p>\n

Need to find the average for a border? Check out this site<\/a> that shows the  decimal equivalents of eights, sixteenths, thirty-seconds and sixty-fourths of an inch. <\/p>\n

The Bonnie Hunter 2024 Mystery, Old Town is coming on November 22, 2024. Check out the preliminary blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

Take a deep dive into using fabrics and images with EQ8. Check out the recent blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friend Julie has a post<\/a> about the new Sew Tites Rotating Cutting Mat. She always does great product reviews, so if you are thinking of buying this product, take a look.<\/p>\n

I was very pleased to see that you can download fabric images in different formats for EQ8 and other uses. I downloaded Sweet & Plenty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Moda<\/a>
Moda pre-made binding<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the Granary<\/a> the other day, I saw a large selection of pre-made BIAS binding<\/a>. I have plenty of fabric from which to make binding, but I like the colors (MUCH better than those packages<\/a>** at old timey sewing shops and also on Amazon). The tape is made by Moda and is 2.25 inches wide and already pressed in half. I thought there was a good selection of colors as well. If you go onto the Moda site<\/a>, they have even more colors than pictured here.<\/p>\n

I found a list of design wall companies from who knows when. Sadly, none of the websites were operational. What design walls have you seen lately? Yes, I know how to make one and have done so, but do you know of any design wall companies you have used or like?<\/p>\n

Media, Books and Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friend Julie mentioned the Hey Quilter<\/a> newsletter in her September Cornucopia<\/a>. I thought I would share here in case you missed it.<\/p>\n

Another reminder: Cups for Pups<\/strong>: Join my Lil Sissy in helping to fund the Recovery Ranch Sanctuary via GoFundMe<\/a>. She is working on creating a place where the dogs of those going into recovery will be taken care of while their people are getting help.<\/p>\n
