Fun Events Coming in March!

Next Monday, I'll be: 

stitch by stitch

At which time I'll also be kicking off a brand new Linky Party here at Val's Quilting Studio:
You're personally invited to stop by every Tuesday to link-up and share your OLD quilting/sewing posts. 
It will be as easy as 1,2,3.
1. Each Tuesday I'll post two or three quilting/sewing themes.
(I'll be going in ABC order to help me keep track of themes. 
So far I've brainstormed over 150 topics.)
2. Search through your quilting archives for old posts to link under the theme.
3. Visit a few other quilty friends, let them know how they have inspired you.

 It will be a quick and easy way to rejuvenate your old posts 
along with finding focused inspiration.

March will also find me joining in here:
The Sassy Quilter
Check it out and join the fun!
I was bummed to have missed out on Lorna's Oblongagonalong (Man I'm Glad  I don't have to pronounce that one out-loud!)at Sew Fresh Quilts  . This one doesn't begin until March 21st, which hits right on my spring break, so I'll have plenty of time to prepare.
I can't believe how fast February has gone by!
Tonight I'll be machine binding (I've never done this before) my Crazy Heart Quilt, just in time to post for my Feb. ALYoF Goal. WHEW! I wasn't quite sure I'd make this finish!
Hope your week is going well.
With Smiles,
Val:)

  6. This sounds like fun... I look forward to the Archives linkup as I know I've missed out on lots of good stuff. Even with the best intentions it's hard to find time to read back on other blogs that I find!

  7. How old do those archives have to be? ;) hehe What a wonderful idea! I stumble onto older posts when doing searches for specific things but it will be very cool to see the specific posts on specific topics. I will join the party even if I don't have a link!!

    Machine binding - LOVE IT :) Did you see Sassy Quilter's binding tutorial today?

    1. Your posts can be as old you want...or heck, write a new one and post it! (It will soon become an archive you can reuse later...LOL) My main goals are to keep this a quilting/sewing linky party and that people post archives according to the themes. That's it. :) So glad you are on board!! YAH!

  13. Hi Val,
    Thanks for your comment on my blog. I think the problem is solved now. Just one thing, I and a zillion others would like to know how you manage to get so much sewing done and plan, and write, and teach and attend your house, do the shopping, cooking, ironing, look after grandchildren etc. Have you more hours in your day than we have here in Spain?

  17. Oblongagonalong sounds like it could be the name of an Australian town.
