Random on Sunday

There's a fairly new linky party going on - Really Random Thursday over on Live a Colorful Life.  I totally meant to link up, but you know how things get busy! So here I am just a few days late, sharing a bit of randomness.
Live A Colorful Life

I joined a ColorWheel Swap where you swap fat quarters of your assigned color. You can find the details here if that sounds interesting to you - I think there are a few more openings.

Believe it or not, some folks are actually thinking about the holidays, and some are already sewing holiday projects!!! (sadly, not me) Quilt Story began a series of holiday tutorials this last week, starting off with a Hexagon Handle Holder by verykerryberry. 

And are you familiar with Threadbias? 
Threadbias Online Sewing Community
It's a site where you store and share your projects, including record of your fabric stash. I'm still getting acquainted with it, but if you want to look me up there, I'm aquilterstable. Generation Q did a feature on Threadbias this week, including info on the Kickstarter program in the works to develop their online design tool. 

Lastly, I've spent some good time this week following up on my guest-hosting gig at Freshly Pieced's W.i.P. Wednesday, commenting on posts and all. I've 'met' alot of bloggers new to me, and I thought I'd mention just a couple . . .

One is owen's olivia. I love her blog design, and her photos. Just nice and clean and fun. Besides her lovely wip, I found an interesting post on 17 things I have learned from blogging, and more recently, visually understanding thread quality.

Another new to me blog was Mommy's Nap Time, whose wips and photography are also stunning! Her tutorial for No Pins, No Hand Sewing binding just surpassed over 1000 pins on Pinterest! (And there are other very cool looking tutorials on her blog also!)

Anyway, it was a good reminder to visit other bloggers when you join the same linky parties - that's one way to continue to meet new folks and find inspiration!

Linking up with Really Random Thursday.
