It’s time for me to announce this yearly blog hop I have been hosting for a few years now, maybe this is the 3rd or 4th? I really don’t remember.
It’s called Dust off a quilt book!
If you are like most quilters (and me) you have a ton of quilt books on the shelf and some are collecting dust, some you might have bought because you just liked the cover quilt or one quilt in the book, and maybe you DID make that quilt or maybe you forgot about it or the rest of the quilts?
Or do you have some books from looong ago, the style is totally wrong now but you can’t bear to part with it?
Then this HOP is for you!!
Pick a book from your shelf (it can’t be a new book) and look thru it and pick something from the book and make something new with it! It doesn’t have to be a big quilt, it could be a small quilt or a pillow or maybe you DO want to make a big quilt, I’m not going to stop you
Maybe a block is really nice but the colors are all wrong or maybe you just get inspired by a block but want to tweak it? it’s totally up to you. Make something and show it on your blog between March 1st-4th – Tuesday to Friday!
I do want you to show the book, the page that inspired you and then your finished piece!
Comment or email me if you want to join!
I made this 2 years ago
and this one last year
A totally different look! and different size, but fun to be inspired by something and change it up 🙂
I’d love to join this hop.
Sounds like fun!!!
Sounds like fun to observe and appreciate the endeavors, but I am counting my UFOs and deciding what gets finished and what goes. But I’d like to cheer you all on, and I don’t blog. Can I still join?
Got quite a few books—good idea..
Sounds interesting.
I joined a few years ago and it was fun. I’d like to join this year.
I’ll play along again this year.
I will love to be in again this year 😉
I’d be happy to join.
Great! sent you an email
I would love to join in. I hope I have not left it too late to do so.
there’s still time, email me with your blog info and email and what day you like 🙂
Can it be a table topper as well?
Of course! it can be anything you want, even a pincushion! totally up to you!
email me
This looks like a fun project…I’m in
Great idea! If I can get a couple more ufo’s into the complete pile…I’m in!
