WIPs and Whatnot

You all know that Quiltsy team members sell quilted items, but did you know that some of our members also sell fabric? Today I thought I’d introduce you to a few of them.

Judy at SEWFUNQUILTS sells charm packs, jellyrolls, fat quarters, etc. Here are a few of my favorites

           

             

Becky at QUILTSFABRICANDMORE has lots of beautiful items to choose from. Check out these bundles

 

               

               

And Crystal at PRIMITIVEQUILTING has bundles and lots of fabric yardage.

Lots of Quiltsy members are in the news! Cynthia from CynthiaBDesigns has a quilt in  May/June edition of QUILTY magazine! It’s a beautiful quilt with lots of wonderful color. Be sure to go out and get a copy.

          

Dawn from Springwaterdesigns has a quilt featured in the July/August issue of Fons & Porters LOVE of QUILTING magazine! It’s blue and white, one of my favorite combinations. The pattern is available as a kit and digital as well.

                    

Today we are pinning Jeanne from vermontsnuggery in the Pinterest promotion. Here is a Table Runner from her shop.

               

Last week some interesting posts were linked up. Like this one from ME of MaryMackMadeMine who shared this beautiful baby quilt she’s working on.

                           

And Barb from Mountainquiltworks shared this lovely Christmas Table Runner (it’s never too early to think about Christmas items)

                 

I am working on lots of little things for a craft bazaar in July. What have you been doing in your sewing room?

I hope you all enjoyed celebrating Memorial Day with your family and friends! We had fun which included lots of food and drinks but not a bit of sewing! To be frank I’ve been in a sewing/blogging slump lately. I did do a bit of sewing and crocheting on Monday so I’m surely hoping the funk has lifted.

Voting for the Bloggers Quilt Festival ends on May 30th. Have you voted? Terry has 2 beautiful entries. So take a few minutes and go vote.

Don’t forget July 4th will be here before you know it. Any red, white and blue items you didn’t sell for Memorial Day you might want to start renewing. If you’re like me and never got your items finished, you should get to work. There are about 5 weeks until the 4th!

Today is Pats day to be pinned for the Pinterest promotion.

And lastly go check out Sheri’s shop she makes such  wonderfully unique items. Like this purse

               

Meet Up at Quilt Canada - May 2013

 (left to right: Terry (TerryAskeArtQuilts), Kathy (KathyKinsella), Lynn (AbsolutelyObsessed), Ann (MagpieQuilts), Maxine (AbsolutelyObsessed)

Quilt Canada was held in Penticton, British Columbia this year and several members of the Quiltsy Team arranged to meet for lunch on Friday. It was a great opportunity to put a face to names that we had only previously known online and to get to know one another a little better. We had no difficulty finding topics of conversation as we talked about the incredible quilts in the show as well as the merits and pitfalls of selling our quilts in the Etsy marketplace. It should be no surprise that it felt like a get-together of old friends.

The National Juried Show was a feast for our senses, with a collection of ninety-two pieces entered in eight categories from traditional bed quilts to artsy wearable art. There was also a huge Invitational Show at the same location which provided us with even more inspiration as we oohed and awed over the pieces ... and then there was the fantastic Merchants' Mall.

Ah, bliss . . .
