First off, did I ever show you this photo?
Jennie from zipit shared a very informative "Guide to Zippers" on sew mama sew this week - worth a read.
Then it was kind of deja vu with Stephanie from Spontaneous Threads who is using her left-over 2.5" Polaroid centers and changing up the Economy Block dimensions to suit. Basically, that's what I'm doing if I ever get back to them. Great minds think alike!
There was more deja vu when I spied the pillow jerigirltx had made for her guild's low-volume challenge. Love that it was inspired by Common Affection, which used Little Miss Shabby's Hugs & Kisses block.
I'm loving keeping tabs on the City Sampler linky over at Sew Sweetness. As of this writing, there are 13 quilts linked up using several different layouts. SO cool! Can hardly believe my top is done and "turned in" so to speak!
There are two new sew-alongs that have started up . . . Vice Versa BOM and Vintage Quilt Revival. Is anyone joining in? I hope at least to try a few blocks from each. Both look terrific!
Are you following the True Colors Blog Tour? I'm really enjoying seeing the projects being made with these lovely fabrics. Do you have a favorite?

Lastly, did you see the cool shout-out in last week's sew mama sew blog highlights email (January 16)? Let's just say that little tidbit brought some new activity to the A Quilter's Table facebook page. Fun times.
Boy that was random, wasn't it? I told you I had oodles! Bye for now - hope you have a great day!
Linking up with Really Random Thursday.
I like the black kontrast-lines in the pillow.

You're so good at being in the loop. Love the picture of the binding. I remember the days of getting tangled in the fishing line, ha ha, nice to know I've grown out of some challenges.
ReplyDeleteI can send you the kitten. She'll have that binding unrolled and at you ankles in an instant! :D
ReplyDeleteyou've been busy learning! Thanks for the binding suggestion

It's interesting, I see so many people sewing their binding on as they go, but I've always been a pin-the-whole-thing-down and perfect the corners before starting to sew the binding on kind of person. Curious if I'm the only one out there who does it this way!!
ReplyDeleteLove the binding shot! It is just so beautiful and such a great idea for keeping your binding off the ground!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Thank you for all the exciting links! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI love your random posts, so much information, most of which I have not seen or heard before!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for binding! Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteGenius idea for binding. I actually have a few empty spools and will be giving this a try soon!
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I kind of like the binding wrapped round everything? It gives me a better idea of whether or not I'm nearly done lol
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your binding : ) congrats on the shout out
ReplyDeleteYou are one busy lady Deb! It's always so fun to read what you are up to {and in to!} Thanks for the bits of random fun!
ReplyDeleteHow did you keep your binding so perfectly rolled on the spool? I am enjoying your series and the True Color one too. Wish I could afford to buy them all.
ReplyDeleteI had a great day and it started with your reply about my City Sampler! :-) thank you for that! ...and random is good, especially on Thirsdays :-))
ReplyDeleteI tried this trick a couple days ago and it worked like a charm! You were definitely my motivating factor in finishing up my City Sampler. Good luck:)
