Monthly Round up

A collection of the links we highlighted throughout the month with a few extras thrown in for good measure.*


We were quite bookish this month.

Quilting Pieces of the Past.  Emily's review can be found here.
Liberty Love by Alexia Abegg.  Review found here.
Quilts 1700-2010, Hidden Histories, Untold Stories edited by Sue Prichard. Ariel mentions it here with an accompanying page at the V&A in London.





Emily is quilting charitably.

First, for the Red Cross with the Handmade for Newtown project.  Read the post here.

And now, with the do.Good Stitches group on flickr.  Read about the progress here.





Emily mentioned she's attending the Sew South Retreat.  I'm sure we'll hear more about that next month.

Ariel semi-quoted a great interview with Danielle Henderson on Design*Sponge, or at least drew a little inspiration from the interview here.

Our first Wordless Wednesday featured images of Arielle Alasko's work (photographed by the artist) and Maura Grace Ambrose of Folk Fibers (photographed by Buff Strickland).


And for a little extra inspiration this month...

I'm getting a little obsessed with Log Cabin patterns and the myth & meanings behind colour combinations and layouts.  Maybe it's my way of nesting, but I think I found my next project.



*This monthly round-up encompasses Christmas to present to ensure we haven't missed anything since Friday Round-up went MIA.
