First up, a site new to me, with a name that caught my eye - A Beautiful Mess. I was especially interested in the photography tab, which I'll be perusing. There's also crafts, recipes, decor, fashion, and beauty - see, all sorts of randomness.
I think it was Jennifer of Knotted Thread that shared on her facebook page "100 Designs from the Free Motion Quilting Project." Interesting and inspiring!
Maureen Cracknell Handmade had a post this week called Scrap Chat. At the end, she asked, "What do you keep? What do you consider useful scraps? Do you keep your selvages, as well? And, how do you store your own scraps?" Quite a varied conversation in the comments. My own response? "I toss anything over 2" or so into a big scrap basket. They are stuffed in there, and I pretty much make a big pile on the floor when I'm working with them! I rarely save selvages, tho I do have a bag of some..." Now you know. ;-)
And big news - I went to my first Seattle Modern Quilt Guild meeting this week! Good fun, lovely "show & tell", I met a few new quilters, and have connected with a few more on Instagram since the meeting. They were having a nametag challenge and were showing off their cool quilted nametags, but being it was my first meeting, I didn't have one of course. Someone thought my handwritten one should be included in the group shot so there it is in all its simplicity. Remind me to add a nametag to my To Do list!
And, if you use Google Reader, you've probably already heard the {shocking} news that it is disappearing July 1. wow. I'm trying out Bloglovin, and in the process of setting it up, it asked if I wanted to 'claim' my blog. Well I think so. To do so I need to add the link below to a post. So bear with me while I try to figure a new course of action for my blog following. I've managed to get my blogs transferred over, so I'll be trying it out. I'd love to hear what you do or plan on doing or . . .
Lastly, since so many of you enjoyed me showing off hubby's amazing Christmas Easter cactus last November, I thought I'd show you what it's up to now!
I'll be linking up with Really Random Thursday.
