Quilting...for the Rest of Us

This 2:21 video shows the pictures from entrants into the March 2011 Stash Mystery Challenge. The theme for the first quarter was florals. Participants were invited to do anything related to flowers: using floral fabrics, floral applique, flower blocks, or a project inspired in some way by flowers. Projects had to use at least two fabrics from the participants' stash, and did not have to be completed. Hope you enjoy seeing these pictures as much as I did!

This episode feature's listener's responses to the question, "If you could have a quilty do-over, what would it be, and how would you do it differently?" I got a lot of great responses! Also, Sandy Update, winner of the Quilty Resolution drawing, and reminders of upcoming challenges. I reference Jeanne's blog entry--it's a great read:  http://noscraptoosmall.blogspot.com/2011/01/vote-for-quilting-happiness-before.html

Hey, podquilters! This week I rave about a couple of things I'm seriously digging at the moment, and then I spend a few minutes briefly mentioning a couple of things I'm not digging quite so much. So you get a book review, a couple of product reviews, and a few tips. Plus, listener comments had some great inspiration this week! From this episode: Quilts around the World: From Alabama to Zimbabwe, by Spike Gillespie Carol Doak's Foundation Paper(Scroll down to find the paper only, or buy it as part of a bundle with other books and notions if you look in other areas of her store. Amazon has it for the same price at the moment.) Quilt University for online classes

In this episode, I review the "Carol Doak Teaches You to Paper Piece" DVD--that and listener comments are the highlights of the episode! Some good tips from listeners, entertaining comments, and a sweet story of families reunited.
