First of all, the winner of the Chevron Accent Throw quilt pattern is Judi, who said:
I've never made a chevron quilt, but it's on my list of things to do. I
agree with you - I love that it's an uneven chevron. How fun would it
be to do this in Charlie Brown colors :)
I think this quilt done in Charlie Brown colors is a genius idea! Judi, I have forwarded your contact information and you should receive your quilt pattern shortly.
A few weeks ago I participated in Lindsay's Craft Book Month series, making a selvage bucket from Sunday Morning Quilts. Lindsay is featured on the Stash Books blog today, along with a recap of the projects made from Stash Books.
I have many Stash books in my craft library. What about you? Do you have a lot of books? Do you just read them, or do you make projects from them?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. It's supposed to cool down here in the Central Valley of California. That can't happen soon enough for me!
That chevron quilt is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of books and love to read but only few quilting books.
Congrats to Judi.
ReplyDeleteI have way too many books which I 'look at' more than 'make from'; but they are so beautiful I cannot resist!
I have collected quite a few sewing books over the years, and hate to admit I haven't made anything from most of them {although I do enjoy reading through them}. I have just gone through my collection to discard as many as possible because they have outgrown their alloted shelf space {I am donating a bunch to our local library} I have come to realize that the books I enjoy and use the most are ones that teach me a technique which I can apply to my own creations, as opposed to just a collection of patterns to follow as written.
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of books but get inspiration from everywhere! I'm probably like Allison- use them for a technique rather than the whole pattern! They are still lovely to own though!
ReplyDeleteI only have a few books, but I've made at least one thing from most of them. I have a LONG list of projects I want to make. Someone needs to invent a three day work week ;-)
ReplyDeleteToo many books, but I only use my new ones! Love Sunday morning ; )
ReplyDeleteI have so many Stash Books on my bookshelf, and there are always more that I want to add! hehe
ReplyDeleteWe are working on home inventory for hurricane purposes. I had my granddaughter use my iPad app, home library, to catalog my quilt books. So far 252 and there is still a stack! Fun thing is to regenerate some ideas than have been taken over by the new stuff. Since I inherited my mom's stash I found I don't have many stash books... Time to add those!
ReplyDeleteI do have a few Stash books. That's my fave quilt book publisher. Mostly I collect online tutorials. What I actually make are blocks for my bee and swaps and, currently, EPP hexy projects.
