501 Quilting Motifs

Fabri-Quilt passed this book along to me.  I haven't tried any of the designs from it yet, but it looks awesome!

New Book
501 Quilting Motifs: Designs for Hand or Machine Quilting (That Patchwork Place)

It's filled with all sorts of different quilting patterns that you can trace onto your quilt.  It ranges from basic to more complex.  I think I'll probably use it as more of a reference than anything, but it is still an awesome guidebook to quilting.

Thank You!

Thank you to whoever sent me such a stellar gift.

When I returned home after work on Tuesday evening, I was greeted by a sticker on the door from the delivery (wo)man. I had a package! I rushed to the office to pick it up before we left for our trip on Wednesday.

The box that was waiting for me was addressed to Jessica at Sewbot’s Laboratory. I wouldn't send myself something like that. I thought maybe Jason had ordered me a gift. I checked our amazon account. Nope. No purchases since I bought the One Yard Wonders book. Maybe my mom sent it to me? Nope, she didn't.

I have no idea who sent me this package. There wasn't a packing slip enclosed. There was a fabulous little book called Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Sewing and Fabric Crafts: Basic Techniques for Sewing, Appliqué, Embroidery, Quilting, Dyeing, and Printing, plus 150 Inspired Projects from A to Z just sitting there waiting to be flipped through. There wasn't anything hiding between the pages. There wasn't a note written inside.

I have absolutely, positively no idea where this book came from. The return address is just for Amazon. So, it's a mystery.

So, thank you to whoever sent it to me. I only got a chance to flip through it before packing for Chicago (we made it in case you're curious), but it is fabulous. It's filled with lots of beautiful pictures. It's filled with tons of inspiring projects. I can't wait to really get my hands on it and try a project or two.
