Memorials Day Reminder

Seams and Scissors blog offers links to sewing projects, clothing and quilting projects.  Theres a whole lot to check out here.  Many cute and quick picnic quilt ideas here.  Here is a link to many, many geometric patterns which is what piecing is all about!  Seams and Scissors is a great place to spend a morning gathering ideas for future projects.

Bonjour Quilts is just one of my favorite bloggers. Kirsty has a steady stream of tutorials and patterns on her blog.  She offers patterns for sale and also free patterns.  I have made the Scrappy Cross Block and used her tutorials for this.  It was a great way to use some scraps and make a colorful quilt.  There are more of her ideas I am going to try for sure.

Freemotion by the River is a website with tutorials and patterns for sale.  Connie has a lot of good ideas.  I spent a lot time looking at them all!

A reminder about Memorial Day.  There is the service at Mountain Cemetary on Memorial Day starting at 9:30.  This is by Tabor Lurtheran Church in Mountain.  We will set up a display in the church before the service so please bring any quilts you are finishing up to the church.  This is a very nice service so hope to see you there to honor our veterans.  Also, a huge thank you to everyone who made quilts for this worthy cause and for presenting them to our new recruits who are just graduating.

Still Winter and Still Quilting

The Rivers Edge Antique and Quilt Loft in Hayward, WI looks like a very fine place to chose from about 4,000 bolts of a variety of fabrics. They have a f ree wool BOM which you can download from their online catalog. You can order online here or plan a road trip but either way it looks like a fun shop.

Bonjour Quilts features a wonderful blog and pattern shop. The When You Wish baby quilt is on my to do list for sure.  They are also doing a Farmer's Wife 1930's series of blocks that look quite sweet. The patterns in her shop are also very interesting, I really liked the Go West and The Plus Side patterns.

Wooden Spoon Quilts is also participating in the Farmer's Wife  blocks.  It appears they are all using Marti Mitchell templates for this.  She has some nice tutorials too, love the Summer Cabin Quilt block and the Raspberry Kiss block.

Charm About You is a busy blog with photos of great quilts and projects and quilt a longs.  Here are her tutorials which feature a lot of techniques and tips.

Here are some more quilt show photos.
