Don'tcha love when you get good mail you didn't even expect? I sure do! And this week, look what came in the mail!
Yup, that's the pretty pink ribbon that hung on Modern Affection when it won "Creative Use of Neutral Fabrics Award." Now as the quilt travels with the AQS Modern Quilt Challenge exhibit , at least I have the ribbon to give me a smile!

Heather/Winding Bobbins and I have been chatting about how we're each going to quilt our current projects, kind of considering some geometric quilting neither of us have tried before. Heather send over this helpful video to consider, just fyi.

And while we're watching videos, you need to see this one about the up and coming Cotton+Steel - exciting stuff!

Pia wrote me from Norway this week to let me know that her quilting group, Quiltesiden, was getting together to make Triple-Zip Pouches. Pia was kind enough to let me join the facebook group so I could see all the pouches they posted. Confession: I'm still really fond of that little pouch!

Final little tidbit for today - the announcement of sew mama sew's Handmade Holidays. We're bound to get some good ideas for our holiday sewing. Yikes, is it really time to think about that?!


Linking up with Really Random Thursday.

    The first of many ribbons to come, I'm sure. I'd say that triple zip pouch deserves one too!

    Enjoy stroking that ribbon! Thanks for sharing that Cotton and Steel video too, I'd been wondering what that was about!
