Link Roundup: Quilt patterns edition
November 18th, 2008 | by mbhunter |
I’m really excited for my wife. She showed some of her quilt patterns to the owner of a local quilt store, and the owner has decided to give a trial run to ten of her patterns! She loves designing quilts so this is a big deal. She’s also gearing up for a craft show. A few of her patterns are here, and she blogs about quilting as well.
Here are some posts I pieced together from the great blogs in my reader:
- Mrs. Micah talks about anchoring as it applies to credit card minimum payments.

That sounds awesome!!! I’d never thought of selling a quilt pattern, but hers look worth it. I do love sitting down with my graphing paper and colored pencils and coming up with patterns, even if I don’t use one. I did this one on holyhocks that I just love but probably won’t ever sew, maybe I should formalize it. Just for fun.
Thanks for mentioning my post and for mentioning her quilting blog, I’m checking it out.

Thanks for the mention!
One of my favorite memories was going to see my great-grandmother when I was a little kid. My younger brother, my cousin, and I would sleep in a double bed with 100 lbs of home-made quilts piled on top of us. She and my great-grandfather lived in the country and didn’t run the heater at night. I can remember sleeping so soundly, probably because I couldn’t move!
Great memories …
