\"Displaying<\/a>
Displaying ATCs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the work events I attended recently was a conference. I have a number of badge holders around the house and it occurred to me that they would make a very convenient ATC display system. A the moment I have, pictured on the left, four ATCs on display in my workroom. It is nice to see them hanging around. I have at least two more badge holders so I will fill those up with new ATCs. I have been working on ATCs for the upcoming show. I used some net from Baby Bels as part of the ATCs. I could do a lot more on them, but think I just need to stop. We will see. Photos to follow.<\/p>\n

I sewed a good portion of the day on Saturday. I have three quilts nearing completion and I am determined to get the finishing work done. Since I finished the second binding I needed more handwork. I made two sleeves and one binding. I may never make a binding out of batik fabric again as I sewed the wrong sides together numerous times and had to unsew a lot! Now I have enough handwork to keep me busy while I watch TV.<\/p>\n

I also cut a few more diamonds, so stay tuned for photos of those, which are coming to a blog near you! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

TFQ turned me on to the R\u00d8ssie Blog. She is the creator of the Fresh Modern Quilt group on Flickr<\/a>. We were talking about what a modern quilt actually is. She has a blog post about, what she calls, Mutant Quilting<\/a>. Interesting.<\/p>\n

C&T followed up on PIQF with a blog post<\/a> that mentions some favorites, including Colleen Granger of Sew Little Time Quilting. I am glad she is getting some air time finally. They also mentioned that the Color Cascade exhibit was based on the 3-in-1 color tool (C&T product, I believe). I didn’t realize this and may have said that the makers used paint chips. Great idea. They also refer us to a blog post about the Color Cascade exhibit<\/a>. This post tells how they organized the exhibit. I really enjoyed the exhibit and think it would be a great project to do on my own. I don’t know if I have the stamina to do it on my own. I know I don’t have it in me to coordinate a project.<\/p>\n

It is probably too late to make a “going off to college” quilt for your child, but you might want to make an “I miss you” quilt or an “I know you are homesick” quilt. If so, one method of making a t-shirt quilt<\/a> is posted on Frieda Anderson’s blog, Walks in the Woods.<\/p>\n

I was talking to the Young Man recently and thinking about all the food fabric I bought for my mom to make her quilt. I asked him if he would like a food fabric quilt to take with him to college. I was thinking that the Eye Spy<\/a> quilt might be a bit too babyish for him. He commented that he hadn’t received his quilt for this year yet! I was amazed at this comment and reminded him that he had just received his Eye Spy quilt. He looked at me in a way that only teenagers can look and told me that they Eye Spy quilt was last year’s quilt. I think I will make a Snowball quilt with food fabric for him. The College quilt? Who knows? I, apparently, have 4 quilts to make for him between now and then. Sigh.<\/p>\n

While at a planning meeting for an upcoming quilt show, we were talking about something interactive to do at the reception. In the course of the conversation, we discussed a guy who sews for people downtown<\/a>.\u00a0 I found an article and thought you might also be interested in reading about his cool sewing machine on wheels.<\/p>\n

Mille contacted me when she found I was making a Flowering Snowball quilt. We had a mini email exchang,e and then I received an email from her over the weekend showing her version of the Flowering Snowball<\/a>. Her two color Flowering Snowball is wonderful! I have enough handwork at the moment, but feel like I need to get back to the Flowering Snowball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
