A Few Findings

Bunny Hill Designs is offering a FREE Block of the Month called A Tisket, A Tasket, 12 Month's of Baskets. The name didn't excite me until I saw the first block which is D*A*R*L*I*N*G !! It's a snowman inside a basket with a couple of stars! Way to cute to pass up, I probably won't get around to doing it any time soon, but I WILL save the blocks as she reveils them! There are lots of other free patterns on the site; heart ornaments, teddy bears, baby blankets, wall hanging etc. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I found a blog that got me excited to 'liberate' my quilting a bit this year! (Don't worry, there won't be any bra burining here!) Tall Grass Prairie Studio has lots of modern quilting ideas. I find that I am drawn more and more to that style, since I've been doing the timeless traditional type of quilts for about over 15 years now. I still like the classics and will continue to make them, but I would like to try some new techniques to liven up the rotary cutter! The author, Jacquie, is hosting a block collection for charity called Project Improv . Quilters make ONE 12 1/2" log cabin type block and send it in. There is no time limit. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Have you guys heard of the blog Cake Wrecks ?! It's a riot! It's a blog about professionally made cakes that go wrong. I ran into it the other night and it was 3:00am before I could tear myself away! Readers of the blog find and send in pictures of the most hideous cakes your ever seen - you won't believe some of them! There is also an area where gorgeous cakes are featured, really these ones are amazing!
