Link Love: Baubles, Pouches & Cake Balls

April 3, 2017 by GnomeAngel

A highlight reel of what's going on in my life and a collection of useful links and information for the creatives amongst us - Angie Wilson at www.gnomeangel.com

Welcome to Monday! It’s a brand new week and time to get busy. I love the start of a new month as it heralds a whole new month of possibilities. Plus April means I’m one month closer to my birthday month, 40 and kicking off #100Days100Blocks2017. There’s so much going on behind-the-scenes at the moment I’m not sure I’m going to be able to pull it all off in time. Mild panic is always a good motivator.

Last week Kristy and I booked our flights to Houston for Quilt Market in October 2017. I’m really excited to be heading back there and I can’t wait to do it with a good friend. We’re already talking about House of Pies! (Can you say annual tradition?) This time I’ll be sure to pack light on the way over to make sure there’s room in my bags for tacos, fabric and maybe a little something for the Little Man. 

The weather is turning towards winter and I’m grateful for the cool change, I love getting all snuggly and comfy in winter cloths. I’m also loving the thought of more stews and soups. I’m going to have to get the slow cooker out of retirement. In fact I should probably hit the cookbooks from some inspiration. Right, I’m off to lick some cookbook pages. I wish you a super fabulous week filled with love, laughter and fabric fondling!

TAKE AN INSTA-PEEK

  • I’ve been working on a little cross-stitch during these school holidays. I purchased the @countrycottageneedleworks Cottage of the Month series of patterns in 2016 to stitch while traveling to Quilt Market. It didn’t go well. (I picked the wrong colour base cloth and it looked washed out.) So I’ve picked up some 16ct Aida in this lovely mushroom colour and I’m having another crack.
.
Thanks to @kidgiddy raving about the @daylightcompany magnilight I picked one up and now I can actually see what I’m stitching! It’s brilliant! 🤓
  • 🌝 I confess this is a bit of an oddball block but I'm trusting in Caroline's vision for her blocks and having confidence that it'll work when it all comes together. I guess it just goes to show that skeleton Hello Kitty fabric can be made to work!
.

👩‍🎤 @NIGHTINGALEQUILTS VERSION
Caroline and I are making our version of Sue Daley’s Round We Go Quilt using my stash. Unfortunately I may not be able to provide all fabric details about the fabrics used, where I can I will list them here. In today’s block there’s @michaelmillerfabrics (stars), @iamlunasol, @cottonandsteel (add it up) and I don't know where the Hello Kitty fabric comes from

  • I baked today! For the first time in too long I found my way back into the kitchen to have fun. Chocolate chip muffins made fresh for the lad’s lunchbox.
.
How lush are these @bisonhome condiment bowls? I’m obsessed with this colour combination!
  • ✂️ If you're looking for some motivation to get your #100Days100Blocks or #100Days100Blocks2017 blocks assembled into a quilt top then I've got the event for you! I've posted details on my blog (LINK IN PROFILE) about the #100Days100BlocksFinishalong which is kicking off APRIL 29 and will give you a finished quilt top in time for #100Days100Blocks2018 kicking off on July 7
.
🦕 Here's a sneak peek of my @cottonandsteel #100Days100Blocks2017 quilt top coming together. I'm using @wattsalot's Tokyo Train Ride for my sashing fabric and I'm loving the texture it's adding.
  • 🌝 @Nightingalequilts and I are making more blocks for Round We Go and this one is by Caroline using some of my most precious Tula Pink fabrics. I just love how this block is subtle but still strong in it's impact. How are your blocks going?

  • 🐱🐱 I’m “stuck” on the couch with vertigo.  These two rat bags (Link is on top and Sonic is on the bottom) are keeping me company while I catch up on 5 years of television that’s unsuitable for a child aged 0 to 5 years old while the kid is at school. #itsahardlife
.
I’ve had vertigo for the past week thanks to a suspected inner ear infection, it’s not really stopping me from doing stuff thanks to some medication but why risk it... 😉
  • I’ve pulled out my #100days100blocks2017 @cottonandsteel blocks to get a good look at them before the #100days100blocksfinishalong kicks off 29 April 2018! More details to come - I just couldn’t help but drop that little teaser in there 😉
.
⚠️ The finish-along will be to help those that participated in the previous two block making events turn those blocks into a quilt top BEFORE the next 100 days 100 blocks (block making) event kicks off July 7.
