Quilting By Design

     Just letting all of you know that I am off on a short vacation; Will be back home on Tuesday night. I’ll begin writing again on either the 8th or 9th, unless I can find a few minutes to squeeze something in! Be good and happy quilting!

     Today’s topic is a rehash of the “Pay It Forward” article that I suggested for you to read yesterday!
     The gist of the concept of paying it forward regarding quilting blogs is simple, however I would like to change this one up just a little. You read someone’s blog (like this one!), post a comment, then the author of the blog that you posted in then turns around and posts in someone else’s quilting blog (sample blogs given below). This simple concept keeps the blogging lists active. In fact, it is recommended that you post in more than one blog.
     Now, you may be wondering how to find other quilting blogs to read. Well, I am going to begin posting my recommendations for quilting blogs at the bottom of each article that I write, starting today! If you have a quilting blog and it is not listed below, you may submit it to me and I will review it for possible inclusion in my blog list.
     Just a few minutes out of your day and you can glean a lot of useful information!

ReAlLy RaNdOm ThOuGhTs

     I can hardly believe it is Thursday! I have thought all day that it was Tuesday!
     There are so many thoughts running around in my head that if I listed all of them, it would do nothing but confuse you! So, here are a few thoughts and some random tidbits for you to ponder upon.
     Here is what I have in the works. First, I have a charity quilt ready to bind, that Wilma (NC) has graciously volunteered to bind for me. Second, I have a commisioned quilt to begin. Third, I have an order of labels to fill. And fourth, I have an order of fabric noodles to fill! The first, third, and fourth need to happen within the next week.
     Now for a few interesting tidbits!

• Are you a fan of Eleanor Burns? Read a little about how her “Quilt In A Day” is growing, piece by piece!
• Mary Emma Allen also shares some information regarding Eleanor Burns and her books!
• Painting barns with quilts is becoming increasingly popular! For an interesting read, check out the The Country Barn Quilt Trail in Kendall, NY.
• Need an essential guide about what types of fabric make for good quilting? Wade Robins shares some information!
• Do you like reading quilt blogs (like this one!)? If so, a unique idea is to “Pay It Forward“!

     Hope each of you have a wonderful day. Be sure to pay it forward!
