A Lovely Review

I wanted to take a moment to thank Sharon B for her lovely review of the Summer 2019 issue of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine!!

Please hop over to Sharon's Pintangle blog and read what she had to say about this issue.

While you're there, do take some time to look around.  Sharon's blog is filled with crazy quilt and textile art eye candy!  She has an Embroidery stitch guide, lot's of how to's, just tons of great ideas and inspiration!!  A true artist!!!

In A Minute Ago Blog

Thought I'd share a blog with you today.  Sharon B of Australia, renowned crazy quilter and textile artist, author of her Pintangle blog which is about crazy quilting and textile art, has revamped her old In A Minute Ago blog.  There, Sharon discusses the art of contemporary journaling and journaling techniques.

If you don't know Sharon, you're missing out!  She graciously offers stitching techniques and seam treatments on her Pintangle blog.  And now with her In A Minute Ago blog, you'll get a double dose of her knowledge and creativity!  Be sure to visit both blogs today to be inspired!

Sharon B's Stencils

I wanted to share with you a new tool for Crazy Quilting.  In case you've never been to Sharon B's blog, Pintangle, Sharon is a master crazy quilter who lives in Australia.  She's been stitching and teaching for many, many years and has recently released a wonderful set of stencils for marking crazy quilts:

I'm not going to post a ton of Sharon's photos here.  Just this one.  I'll let you hop over and check out Sharon B's Stencils for yourself. 

I just received mine on Friday and have already used them to create several borders:

I'm currently working on small projects so I haven't been able to experiment too much yet.  But I will be!  These stencils are awesome! 

In other news, here are a couple of new photos of my baby kitties:

I tried to get a new photo of Cotton but he still has that eye infection and I think the flash hurts his eyes.  Cotton and Wrigley are best friends, as you can see in this photo!
