Did you catch the tempting feathers quilt along announcement this week? Silly me, I didn't realize before that the pattern involved paper piecing, but I'm still mulling it over. At the very least it'll be fun to follow the flickr group!
I happened upon an awesome post about barn quilts. Here's a photo of one I saw a few months back (more here). If you're as enamored with them as I am, check out the ones over at Art Gallery.
And finally, after seeing Leanne/shecanquilt and Heather/Winding Bobbins show off their matchstick quilting lately (click links to see the awesomeness), I just had to try it, even if only on a swatch. I chose some polka dot linen and variegated gray Aurifil and just went at it! Boy was it satisfying!
Short and sweet this week, but still linking up with Really Random Thursday.
I love that matchstick quilting, it works so well on that polka dot a fabric. Can I ask what stitch length you use for it?
ReplyDeleteI will be checking out your napkin board, I really need to make some and I love your matchstick quilting!
ReplyDeleteI have been admiring the match stick quilting too. I would love to try it on a (very) small project.
ReplyDeleteI saw all the napkins you had pinned this week! We're a paper towel family. haha
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shoutout! Your mug rug is cute. :)
I saw the feathers quilt along. Paper piecing isn't so bad ; ) The quilt is gorgeous! Your tiny quilting is perfect
ReplyDeleteNice collection of napkins! I'd hate for them to get dirty with food though!
ReplyDeleteI like your matchstick quilting. You and Leanne are inspiring me to give it a try. How long did the mug rug take?
What a fun little mug rug! I am tempted by the feathers quilt a long too and I think I would participate if the holidays weren't so crazy. I am definitely looking forward to seeing what people make!
ReplyDeleteI think the napkin thing is sod's law ;o) Having just done my first matchstick quilting, I'm rather fond of it too now
