Tuesday Archives #100: Books

Hello! Hello! and Happy Tuesday Archives! 

The linky party that let's you rejuvinate OLD blogging posts.

This week's theme is: Books.

I've been looking forward to highlighting Sharon's who blogs at Vroomans Quilts Let's Book It linky 

once our "book" theme came around. Click here for a peek at January's participants.

Here' Sharon's description of the monthly challenge:  

We all have those books, patterns, pamphlets, and magazines on our shelves - sitting!  We were probably taken by the cover quilt/project - a 'I must make this' project. This is to encourage you to get those projects started.

Simply chose your publication of choice and shop that stash first.  At the end of each month there will be a linky party.  I know a large quilt is going to take longer than a pillow, wall hanging or baby quilt.  So as long as you show progress each month, link up.  It is all about using those 'must have' publications (and even must have fabrics) and creating and having fun.

Thanks Sharon for the monthly motivation to dust off old books and put them to use.

Jan. OMG: My "FABULOUS" Finish

Whew...I got  my FABULOUS mini finished with a few hours left in the month!

What ya think? The word Fabulous itself, well, just didn't look very fabulous to me.

I let myself play and had fun just letting my creative energy guide this little project.

(Think: "mathmatical" less than "< " sign.)

It  measures 22"x23" inches and has found it's place among our stairway of word quilts:

2016 is definitely off to a FABULOUS start that has happily included lots of sewing.

Sharing with everyone at these two linky parties:

And of course, I close unable to resist wishing you a FABULOUS day.

Why do you quilt? Consensus

It's evident through everyone's comments we quilters are happier than a bird 

with a french fry when we get to sew and make quilts! 

There was a consensus through-out our comments to the question I posted earlier this week (Why do you quilt?)  that none of us are really motivated by having an intended outcome or recipient, but rather enjoy the creative process of our quilting. Quilting makes us happy! 

 Kindred spirits are we!

Plus, as some of you commented, it's a great stress reliever and way cheaper than therapy! LOL!

 I just had to drop in today and let everyone know how much I enjoyed this bloggy conversation.

This week's theme is: The ALPHABET! 

Now how long has it been since you guys sang your ABC's??

This week we'll be singing them here at Tuesday Archives!

Today we get to skim through our archives and rejuvinate  any of  our projects (whether they be embroidery, wool, or even sewn) that showcase the alphabet. (No matter what language)

And, a quick thank you to everyone who has already joined in on the conversation at my:
