SCRAPPY PLACEMATS

Found a really neat tutorial for a scrappy placemat (or even a mug rug, with a bit of alteration) at
Pink Penquin.

The tutorial and clear and concise and the pictures are great for following along.

You can find it HERE!



The tutorial shows more spring fabrics, but you could easily sub in some holiday fabrics and sew up some quick placements for a gift for your kid's teacher or a coworker.

A LITTLE TRANQUILITY FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON

Ran across this fantastic quilt tutorial by Melissa Corry at her blog Happy Quilting, and just had to share it.



It uses Angela Walters fabric collection, Legacy, from Art Gallery Fabrics.

Please make sure to check out the beautiful quilting that Melissa work HOURs on.  It was well worth the time, for sure!



Go visit now, you won't be sorry. and probably really inspired



And just when you think it's as good as it gets, Melissa is offering a give away at Art Gallery Fabrics.

COSMIC QUILT BLOCK

Whilst wandering the web today, I found a "cosmic block" pattern at Traceyjay Quilts 



Tracey Jacobson is the designer and also a fantastic blogger.  Her blog is bright and cheerful and informative. I spent a lot of time looking at the tutorials she has up, as well as pictures of her glorious quilts!  I'd definitely urge you take a moment and go visit her site!

Also, while I have never done a block tutorial, I have watched and followed many and Quilt Story has a link-up that has close to 90 block tutorials.  Check them out and if you have a block tutorial that you yourself have done, link-up!
