Catching up on Quilty stuff around the net

I have been doing a lot of “real” work and so haven’t had time to do much more than surf, as a result this post will be “link heavy”, but maybe it will give you all something to do with a good cup of coffee!

YOu all might remember my friend Tina who has just “discovered” crazy quilting (ok, I’ve been trying to “convert” her!). Well she has done a fantastic job and almost pieced a whole little quilt! Very cotton and cute – love her little hearts that she used (happy accidents, I think you call them)! I think you’ll all love it, pop over and give your support!

More of the “All That Jazz” entries are in. Mine got there in one piece- WHEW! and so it appears in the “invitees” section (double blush! Still not sure how I got invited!!!). Anyway, go check out the blocks…they are fabulous and it’s really fun to read all the artists statements!

I also discover this fabulous resource:International Quilt Study Center : Welcome – I may be out of the loop on this one, but what a cool place! I don’t find many reasons to go to Lincoln Nebraska, but I may have to find a reason! They are having a huge symposium (which looks to be annual) and are taking entries for papers on quilt history and such. Wouldn’t that be a fantastic event to attend?

I know there were a few more, but we have to run and get the emissions test on the minivan (yep, we have one…ick, eh?) and it’s cold…I’d love to get it over FAST! More later!
