Stuff

Well it didn't take much encouragement to convince me it would be good to join in the Triangle Quilt Along sponsored by The Sassy Quilter. You know, since a triangle quit is on my bucket list and all. It's just starting up, so it's perfect timing, with a pretty leisurely pace. I shopped my stash and found this lovely bundle - Clover Sunshine/Cloudy by Alison Glass Design - and I think it'll be a great place to start!
I'll be considering adding in some solids from Pink Chalk's helpful feature, "What goes with what?"

I'm also anxious to try some new American Name Brand solids by Clothworks. It's really fun having so many great solids to choose from, isn't it?

After a busy weekend away, it was also fun to come home to the latest issue of American Quilter being available online! I didn't waste any time finding the page I was most anxious to see {Hi Leanne!} and there's Fissures sharing the limelight with shecanquilt's Cycles 2 along with Unraveling #2 by Judy Tescher. 

This issue also has an article by Linda/Flourishing Palms entitled "Modern Art." Sharing the pages with 2 friends and bee-mates is pretty special.

Speaking of bees! Not that I'm looking for another to join right now, but I have a friend who is. Any suggestions? I know there was a flickr group where bee openings were posted, but I've lost track of that - help?

Lastly, just as a little postscript - the magazine pages above are pictured on the back of Still Swooning. I forgot to take a photo of that, but at least you can see I used strips of 3 colorways of one of the Dowry florals. And on that random note . . . 

Have a great day!

Linking up with Really Random Thursday.

  5. Man, I just love your 'stuff', Debbie, every time you post. Congrats on your publish! No surprise there though, with what you create. So excited you're doing the Triangle Along. Me too. Can't wait to see yours, as no doubt it will be stellar. I've changed my mind 100 times already on my fabrics. Thought I finally settled back on my first choice of Chicopee ....until I saw Blue is Bleu's Single Girl in Chicopee this morning. My heart skipped a beat. But I suppose if you can make the Swoon pattern multiple times, I can make more than one quilt in Chicopee, right? :) Loved your new mini!

  10. OH I Love seeing Leanne and your quilts in print! So fantastic!

    That Flickr group you are talking about is the Quilting Bee Blocks group and the discussion is where you can find any openings in bees!

  13. I like the bundles you've pulled together . . .strong bold colors. Haven't seen this issue yet but will be looking for it. Thanks for mentioning Linda's article too. Fun to know so many people in one issue.

  14. You've got some lovely fabrics to shop from in your stash! I look forward to seeing how these come together.

    I have a couple of bees that might be interesting to look at for inspiration, but I'm thinking they are both closed for now. On Instagram: #ngaqb (No Girls Allowed Quilting Bee) and the WERQ Bee. Both feature male quilters. #menwhoquilt!

  18. Those Pink Chalk "what goes with what" posts are such a great idea for online shoppers, I love them. And that's probably why I bought so much Clover Sunshine from Pink Chalk too!
