Episode 26 – trends at NQA show

pq — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 01:15:08 +0000

This year I didn’t notice as many trends as I have in previous years. Is that because there were no clear trends, or because there were too many to count?! It is hard to say.

It was time to hash over some lessons learned with my last completed quilting project. The big one: jelly rolls aren’t precisely cut to the size the label says they are! I wish I had taken a pic of Noelle’s quilt before I gave it to her but I managed to forget. Maybe she’ll be nice and send me one. Hint hint! However here is what the pattern looks like from Eleanor Burns’ site, Quilt in a Day. Isn’t it adorable? I love the color combo she used.

Also if you participated in the May Mayhem, you can grab the button over on the sidebar and put it on your blog. You should be able to copy the code in the box and paste it into a text widget on your own site. Enjoy

Thank you for listening!

I hope you all are having as great a time as I am with the Mayhem. I love making real measurable progress. Woohoo!

Challenge: MAY MAYHEM!!!

What is May Mayhem? That is the title of my May challenge for listeners. I have decided to challenge myself to perform a quilting or sewing activity every day for at least 15 minutes for all of May. Would you like to join the fun? Head on over to the Pioneer Quilter group at the Big Tent. All you have to do to join is leave a reply to the forum topic entitled ‘May Mayhem’.

Then once a week I will post a new forum message for you to log your progress at. I will have mini podcasts each week to discuss the progress and whatnot of the challenge. Consider joining up today!

Enjoy the show!
