Talking and Thinking About (Modern) Quilting
Hi friends, I stumbled across some interesting reading yesterday afternoon. Recently I've been talking a lot about how I'm trying to focus on
valuing the process of crafting as much as I value the final product, so I was intrigued when I saw little "I Took the Process Pledge" buttons popping up in people's sidebars. If you're interested in the process/product debate or in modern quilting in general, I think you'll find these posts really interesting:
It's all washed and ready to go, and so is the pile of cream coloured
Kona cotton (all 7 m of it) that I bought for the
Single Girl Quilt. All the while, quilt ideas have been tumbling around in my head. I bought the
Proverbial Quilt pattern (also from Denyse Schmidt), and I really like the examples of this that I've seen so far:
Melissa has one underway, and there's a similar idea
here, from
Tumbling Blocks. And then I saw
Jocelyn's sampler quilt (
part one and
part two) on Flickr – isn't it great? And then there's this
turtle quilt, which I seem to have been mulling over since 2007(!). I'm still thinking, but in the spirit of the Process Pledge, I might share some photos and words here as I work on this (so far, mysterious) quilt. In the meantime, Cheryl rounded up some
links to some other process posts; you might want to check them out. Oh! And if you're in Vancouver, don't forget that the
first meeting of the
Vancouver Quilt Guild is tomorrow night!
