Sew Much Fun!

October 27, 2011

Fall is the time of year that my interest in quilting and knitting is renewed. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the "Original Quilting and Sewing Expo" at the KCI Expo Center near KCI. Observing the many projects that other crafters have produced is always an inspiration to me. Wonderful hand and machine quilted items, embellished sweatshirts, classes, presentations, lectures, talks, workshops, shopping — the list goes on.

MCPL has many resources to inspire you and make your mind race with ideas galore. Get inspired with these books:

501 Quilting Motifs

That Perfect Stitch: the Secrets of Fine Hand Quilting

Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Quilting

Learn To Do Hand Quilting in Just One Day

More Layer Cake, Jelly Roll & Charm Quilts

The Practical Guide to Patchwork: New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker

Orphan Block Quilts: Making a Home for Antique, Vintage, Collectible, and Leftover Quilt Blocks

Or get inspired by watching these videos:
