Welcome, Dorie!

The Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild has a new member: Dorie! Dorie recently moved to Michigan and is a web developer.  In her free time she knits, quilts, and sews clothing.  She has a blog here: tumblingblocks.net/blog.  

Dorie also created a fabulous online quilt-planning tool called "Quiltr."  It allows you to compare and preview fabric and color combinations—useful for planning an actual quilt.  You can use a color wheel tool to fill in the pattern, or you can upload pictures of fabric from flickr!  What a great idea.  Check it out.

Welcome, Dorie!  We can already see what a wonderful addition you will be to our guild.

Weekly Round-Up!

Hello all - it was nice to see SO MANY of you guild members at the Sew-In yesterday.  I hope everyone was able to accomplish great things!  It sure looked like it...

Emily finished her crewel ABCs - so cute!  And have you seen her daughter's adorably decorated nursery? 

Debbie has patterns on her website (for free!) of a lovely Hug and Kiss pillow! 

I made a little Valentine's Day craft - felt envelopes lined with cotton and stuffed with treats! 

Lynn has made stunning progress on her string quilt...

... and has been knitting more fantastic socks!  I know I would like to see a picture of Lynn taking this picture (assuming she's photographing her own feet)...

Kathy has been having some "Triangle Fun" - with amazing results!  Check out HERE, too. 

Becky knit some super cool mittens...

And Ronit made some blocks for a swap!  Love this pattern and the color choices...

Debbie is cooking  up a "Hug" and "Kiss" pillow pattern on her blog!  Perfect for Valentine's day, obv.

...AND she revealed her Do. Good Stitches quilt... 

Her amazing photos of this quilt at a castle also got the attention of the folks at Generation Q!

I've been making some pillows to sell on Etsy...

Lynn has been making string blocks, and adding the stunning detail of a solid triangle to make beautiful stars!  Love this idea...

and she also cooked up some sweet liberated baskets for a bee...

Kathy has a little piece of play to show-off (tiny squares!).  I love the thoughtful randomness of this baby...

And she has a stunning bow-tie quilt in colors to die for.  Bright and beautiful!

Becky's been knitting!  Mittens... 

and a shawl in the works!

Ronit made a lovely quilt for Project Linus.  Another one with a fabulous backing!
