Link Round-Up for May 30, 2016

Amy has gotten very into handwork recently, and has a post with her many handwork projects in progress.  

Her mini for the Ann Arbor MQG Zingerman's foodie challenge (see the link for details on the show; come vote!) is one, done using needle turn applique:

And Dorie posted about her contribution to the same challenge, inspired by her love for LaCroix:

Come out for the show; these are just two of the many awesome mini quilts created for this challenge.

Karen has another baby quilt up...this time in brights, with groupings of blocks into varying, patternless shape sets, for a fun and visually interesting effect.

And finally, Lynn posted both about her quilt "Off the Charts" from her book, and also a really lovely quilt she made for Oakshott, "Crepuscular", and she provides a pattern, too!

 

Link Round-Up for May 14, 2016

Debbie G.'s "Inspired by QuiltCon" challenge quilt was a mini inspired by Timna Tarr's work. I love how fun and personal, yet simple, this is:

Her April and May Charity Challenge posts are up with patterns, and she has got a new "Minimal Mini" series going.  See also MM3 and MM4.

Pam L. has a lot going on, as usual, but highlighting just one thing, she's quilting this fox:

Karen finished the Frances Firefly she started at Sewtopia Atlanta and her quilting idea (emulating the dart-y motion of a firefly) is rather interesting, right?

And for Sewtopia she participated in the Michael Miller challenge, making a pretty cute book:

Lynn H. shared the third quilt, Numb, in her domestic abuse quilt series:

Link Round-Up for March 13, 2016

Lynn H. shared completed photos of Coal Seam:

And I don't usually put in more than one picture from one member at a time, but I couldn't pick between the above and this. Lynn has also started sharing a series of quilts and messages relating to domestic abuse:

Debbie has had a bunch of posts featuring the stops on the blog tour for her book.  Each post has a picture of a quilt from the book.  Below I'm sharing the image from Rossie's post of the cover quilt, which she covered on her stop on the tour:

And Debbie also shared the plans for her March charity challenge quilt.

Pam L has a quilt "Polka Dot Playground" in the April/May 2016 issue of
McCalls Quick Quilt magazine:

And finally, Dorie posted about her Pegasus quilt, in which she used a large-scale, but monochrome, print very effectively as a sashing:

Link Round-Up for February 26, 2016

Rossie posted about her article for QuiltCon magazine on group improv. Several people from our guild had a hand in these two awesome quilts that were in the show this year; head over to her post to check them out.

Pam L. sewed a few cute blocks for a bee she's in:

Lynn shared another feature quilt from her book, Every Last Piece. This one is called Square Dance.  She's also a designer for the Splendid Sampler and is sewing along with that, and she has been doing some mini finishing and some work with that applique project.  

Link Round Up for February 13, 2016

Debbie G. has her February Charity Challenge post up, with a completed quilt called Butterflies, and the pattern for the next one, Connext.

Lynn is playing with the tiniest little things: 

Karen made a quilt featuring lots of hearts, "All Ways", using blocks constructed from a Cluck Cluck Sew tutorial.

Pam L. has several new posts, one of which is a completed Round and Round. Also she is looking for strings sewn end to end into long skinny strips, if you are interested in helping her out with scrap diversity.

And finally, Dorie has a pattern included in a newly released book, "Scraps, Inc. Vol. 2", called Chimney Swifts!

Link Round Up for January 31, 2016

Lynn's progress on her La Passacaglia Millefiori is amazing:

Link Round Up for January 10, 2016

Debbie has her "Igloo" quilt pattern available in Modern Patchwork's winter 2015 issue, just out, and also posted her "Winter Star" quilt Charity Challenge finish and the PDF pattern for her January Charity Challenge, "Butterflies".

Pam L is participating in a 2016 finish-along so has shared quite a few goals for UFOs, also has a new baby quilt in progress, finished a wedding quilt top, and has posted a finished wedding quilt gift from August.  Nice use of a two color binding there!

Karen posted about the Modern Buzz Saw quilt she made for Brenda's Pie Making Day booth at Quilt Market earlier in the year, using a pattern from Amy Smart's "Fabulously Fast Quilts" book.  And on the back she made a version of the Sawtooth Stripe quilt from Denyse Schmidt’s book "Modern Quilts Traditional Inspiration".

And finally Giedra posted about her November Nights quilt that is going to QuiltCon 2016!

December 2015 Link Round Up

Welcome to the first post resuming our regular roundup feature! 

Amy has a new pattern for the traditional Antique Tile block she is calling “Antique Tile 2.0” that is available now on Craftsy. It’s free and charm pack friendly. Check it out!

Karen was one of her pattern testers and made a really sweet version:

Debbie shared another finish for her Charity Quilt Challenge, Campfire, and also the plans for her December Charity Challenge quilt, an awesome extra large Carpenter’s Star.

Dorie posted about "Tree of Drunks", the third in her wonderful series of temperance quilts. Outstanding quilting by Lynn.

Jenna’s most recent finish is called "Night Trees" and was started in Sherri Lynn Wood’s scrap doodle class at Quilt Con 2015.

 

Pam L was working hard on Christmas stockings:

Also in the holiday spirit, Lynn shared an Advent calendar she made collaboratively with her daughter. So great! The ornaments are all so cute.

Kathy Schmidt continued some fun with art quilt beading: 

And finally Rossie churned out a bunch more lovely Poolside Totes as gifts: 

Happy New Year!
