Episode 19 – Block Tool

pq — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 23:52:45 +0000

In this episode, I talked about:

The Modern Quilt Guild. I’ve seen it mentioned on Sew Mama Sew several times and meant to bring it up. Alert listener Carlyn reminded me about it. Are there any Modern Quilt Guild members listening? Send me an email or leave a comment if you are a member. I’d love to hear what it is like.
The Ladies’ Art Company Block Tool by Connie Chunn. What an awesome reference! It has a great variety of blocks and gives cutting sizes for up to 5 different block sizes.
The Quilter’s Newsletter had two patterns that I loved this month.

Episode 16 – Generations

“How can we get more people of our generation interested in quilting?” That is the major topic this episode, suggested by Carlyn. What do you all think? How do we attract new quilters to the club?

Visit Jackie’s website (of the Quilting Chronicles podcast) to visit her new online fabric shop.

Check out the latest quilting podcast to go live – the Scientific Quilter with Darla.

If you are a knitter or crocheter, or enjoy other yarnish arts visit Ravelry.

I also mentioned Sew, Mama, Sew and Pattern Review – both sites are resources for sewers.

So, what the heck happened to me? I’m still alive and kicking. Thanks so much to the concerned listeners who checked in on me!!! Life just got in the way a bit there. I’ve still got plenty to talk about in my head, though, so I’ll be delivering up some new shows soon. Thanks for your patience

Episod #4 – Quilt fix by snail mail

There are lots of ways to get your quilt fix by snail mail – who doesn’t love getting mail?!

Show notices – glossy brochures to upcoming shows are lovely to get. Here are a few I’ve recently received:

The Original Sewing & Quilting Expo has 4 upcoming Spring events around the United States, including Cleveland on March 26th, 27th, and 28th.
AQS Quilt Show & Contest in Paducah Kentucky, April 22nd – 25th. Big Gammill giveaway – go here to enter for free or join up as a member.

Sewing catalogs! I love catalogs! Sure you can shop on the internet too but then you don’t get the joy of touching glossy paper. And you can still browse when the electricity goes out.

Keepsake Quilting - order a free catalog for yourself here.
Sewing with Nancy - order a free catalog for yourself here.

Magazines!! There are tons of magazines to read, here are the three I get:

Quilter’s Home
Quilter’s Newsletter
The Quilting Quarterly (from NQA)

What about…

Block of the Month programs – otherwise known as BOM’s.
Fabric subscriptions – some shops offer a subscription service similar to fruit-of-the-month clubs, with themes like Bali or Moda fabric, etc.

Many thanks to those leaving comments!!!
