The Quilt Project

I've spent this week pulling apart the quilt & posting the blocks back to the creators or onto swap partners.

The Quilt Project was something pretty special. Blocks were worked in red & posted to Melbourne where they were assembled into a temporary quilt & displayed for one night. The Quilt has also travelled to Sydney for display & has now been scattered around Australia (& the globe).

While not all the squares are embroidered, a good many are & I thought that you might enjoy spending some time with The Quilt.

Stitchettes Goodness

How gorgeous is this mini Stitchettes quilt? Seen on Laural's lovely blog, Thimble which I stumbled upon while surfing other people's del.icio.us links. You have my full permission to stalk my del.icio.us links, by the way... :) Anyhow, Laural's blog is beautiful, both in layout and design, and her beautiful pics and projects are sure to inspire you!

Laural's quilt is not alone - just look at this sweet Stitchettes quilt by swim notes - her work is absolutely amazing! Or this incredibly sweet pillow by wisecraft.
