Royal Weddings and Royal Blocks

Everyone is royal crazy at the moment, they sure do know how to get married!  What a lovely setting for the wedding and the carriages and horses!  Love the tradition.

Quilters are crazy too, like we didn't know?  Diary of a Quilter features some nice, really royal quilt block ideas on her blog.  I love one with the rug, who would have known the Union Jack could be so decorative.  She also a lot great tutorials here, especially for those who want some basic instruction.

Not sure if I shared Noodlehead before but she has a really elegant and simple looking pillow tutorial right now and you have to check out all her tutorials.  There are many and some cute ideas for kids too, I especially love the quilted bike basket.

Have a good weekend, hope we get more sun and don't forget sewing on Monday.  Diana

Moda Pillow Talk

Rita has sent me information on a fun place to check out.  Moda had challenged it's designers to create a pillow using Moda fabrics.  These pillow designs will be featured here, so go take a peak.  It may be of interest to some of you that the featured pillow for February 20th was designed by Lisa Bongean of Primative Gatherings.  I know that many of you enjoy that shop, so go and see her design, as well as all of the other creative designers featured.
Rita also informed me of another site,The Golden Thimble, which has a lot of fun patterns and BOM's to check out.  I have also added it to the BOM page.
