POPSPlease follow the link One of the vox bloggers has a friend with an idea to give a million quilts for Christmas. Sounds like a good idea. Take that blanket, wrap, or quilt and give to your local homeless shelter. A new one for me, luggage on wheels. Good for the homeless to cart around their belongs. Better than a shopping cart I guess. Donate old rolling luggage too.

POPSSimple Living, Trucker Style Go to the source for the list of this guy's material possessions, including his two "luxury items". I am trying to imagine living this way but am fairly certain that I could not do it and be happy. No room for, or way of life for, dogs or cats or other creatures that I care for. No room for photo albums or artwork or plants or quilts or memorabilia.... :(

POPSWill You LOOK at those Dots??? he Quilting Stash podcast host, Annie Smith, interviewed Mary Lou Weideman in April. The show is really great, interesting as well as entertaining. I just listened to it this week and finally went to look at Mary Lou's quilts. I have one one of her books, but the photos of these quilts are so cheerful. I think she is one of my new heroes!. Will you look at all of the dots she uses? I was interested to hear, in the interview, that MLW creates her borders first. Look carefully at the witch quilt's border. It amazes me that she can make the border first when it is so intricate. Definitely a technique I want to try.

I also like the blue lines on the left and the red diagonal lines on the right. scroll down when you get to her blog to see the others.

POPSGifts to Give Using Fab Fabric
One of my favorite blogs is Be*mused blog (link on clip). She puts fabrics together beautifully and shows wonderful pictures. This link to one of her old posts from a current post discussing Christmas gifts dovetails nicely with another fabric avalanche, this one involving DH. :( He was not bemused or amused. He was rooting around in my fabric closet (first mistake), which doubles as a place to store filing cabinets and Christmas gifts, when the pile of dots, conveniently, but precariously, piled right at the front of a bunch of fabric piles fell on his feet. He claims it covered his knees as well. Totally untrue, but I can see how he might think that. He told me to stop buying fabric. HA! Anyway, Be*mused makes an excellent point. Pillow cases are GREAT for gifts as well as using up conversationals. I have some great conversations that I doubt will ever make it into quilts. They are currently in the "back of the quilt" stack. Pillowcases for the nieces and nephews might be another

POPSQuilt Exhibit at the Renwick It pays to read blogs, so you can tell people to go and see this exhibit. It is about QUILTS! It is at a real MUSEUM! They have a companion BOOK! Sadly (I guess it is my day for sadness), I won't be heading out that way until the summer. Do give me a review and let me know if you liked it. Perhaps I will put the book on my Christmas list. Hhhmm.

POPSQuilt Protection This 'Quilt Coat' idea goes along with the Quilt Storage idea in my previous post. Apple Blossom Quilts also provides a free pattern, which, obviously, you can modify to fit the size of your quilts or your own needs.
