The Importance of a Stash
"Didi" pillow case designed and made by Jeannie, Kingston, Jamaica
This pillow case was made with love,
a scrappy quilted pillow case
with fabrics from ones own stash!

----------------------------------
One of my students, I have to admit, is now a "Quilter"
What is a Quilter?
A Quilter is someone who begins to panic at the speed of time!
So many Quilts to make....
Each Quilt a challenge and a learning curve....
The stroking of fabrics.....
Inspiration all around us!

MODERN QUILTING

MODERN QUILTING I am an avid 'BlogLand' reader! The Quilting World is amazing, it's so interesting how quilting has evolved and continues to find new heights! I am a traditionalist, I love antiques, I love the 'ole feeling of warmth, of history, of a story. I also love the simplicity of the past - the minimal embellishment of the Modern World I have been drawn lately to Modern Quilting, but.. what is Modern Quilting? Although late in the BOM(Block of tthe Month), I have ventured over to 'Sew Mama Sew' to do the "Modern Block of the Month" which ended in June..lol.. Thus far, I have done 4 blocks which I will feature tomorrow. http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/july2011/ModernBOM.jpg. Thus far it has been fun.... Do hope you visit 'Sew Mama Sew'..I am enjoying the journey! ENJOY! "CAROLYN"

I have enjoyed reading all 4 Issues of the 'Irish Quilting ' magazines. The premier Issue I found particularly good. The photos are amazing and the articles are informative. I decided to make the quilt ' Mind the Garden' using my Morris Garden Fabrics. A fabric line I love. Stitching the binding on a quilt is a relaxing time. Your creation is complete. I will now write in my Quilt Journal the lessons I have learnt and the joy while making the quilt. Happy Quilting, 'Carolyn' 'For beautiful eyes look for the good in others; For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.' - Audrey Hepburn
