Earlier this week Jacquie sent out all the quilts for the book that have been on vacation at her home over the holidays. We have news they arrived safely.
We ended up adding one additional quilt to the book, so my week here has been a post holiday race to the finish. Of course it would be ridiculous to use stash fabric as backing when there is new fabric to buy.
With all the book quilts made it’s time to take a lint roller to the design walls and pack up the piles of samples for later classes.
Apparently it’s time for a New Years lift to my Inspiration Board too.
I’ve cleared out some fabric for an upcoming Destash. Details soon.
I thought with the new year that maybe its time to do another Value Quilt Along! I’ll be adding packs of squares with LOADS of Out of Prints to my destash for those looking to add to their stash or wanting to quilt a long with some fresh juice.
Don’t forget to pop by on Monday for a chance to win Emily Cier’s new book Quilt Remix!
Really, really looking forward to the destash. And the quilt along!
I really, really hope that you do a value quilt along! I sure wish you would wait to destash until the fabric diet (http://cuttopieces.blogspot.com/2010/12/fabric-diet.html) is over. I might have to just skip a week if you don’t!
that’s funny.
You used my favorite sugar pop fabric! Guess what? I’m starting on a values quilt pillow tonight. Yep, a pillow. Guess these squares are going to have to be small!
Can’t wait to see it!
Oooo, look at all of those quilts! A value quilt along? That sounds really fun. I might have to try that 🙂
A value quilt along sounds really interesting! So does your destash.
I guess it’ll be a long wait to see the book quilts. The anticipation! Congrats on completing another phase of the process.
your quiltalong sounds brilliant and as i have a lot to destash i think i will join in!
Would love the company. We’ll start in a couple weeks.
you have some fabric in your destash i have been stalking and coveting for a long time!
this, of course, means your site will get multiple “refresh”es daily from me!
I have been cleaning up my sewing room and I am ashamed to say I have a lot of fabric just sitting on the shelf. A quilt along might make me one, learn to quilt, and two, help ease my shame of having so much unused fabric. I’ll see. I always want to quilt but feel intimated. Is a Value Quilt easy to make? Can a total beginner do it?
yup, I think a values quilt along is a good idea, too. I’m ready to join in this time and give it a try!
the combination of colors in that quilt are stunning!
That quilt is gorgeous!
