So many great things have happened this last week, are happening this weekend, or will be starting soon. I figured I would just do a little update post so you don’t miss any of it!

Desert to Sea: 10 Quilts from Australian Designers

A good blogging friend of mine, Jane Davidson, recently self published her own book Desert to Sea: 10 Quilts from Australian Designers. Her self and 7 other Australian designers share with you 10 different quilts that they’ve designed and made. My copy arrived today and I was so excited to open the box! The cover is amazing and the inside did not disappoint! I am having a hard time which one I want to start first once I have a few minutes … I’m thinking it’s this one designed by Jane herself! It’s put together so cleverly … but you’ll have to buy the book yourself if you want to find out how!

Yellow

Another book arrived at my house today … Simply Color: Yellow: A Crayon Box for Quilters And … I’m pretty sure I’m using Yellow on my Monkey Wrench inspired quilt for the ‘Focus Through the Prism’ challenge so I’m super excited to be learning/reading more about it!

This year marks our 8th year for the Fat Quarter Shop’s exclusive Designer Mystery Block of the Month program. For this program, the Fat Quarter Shop invited 12 Moda Designers to design a block for the quilt and this year’s quilt features the Snowman Gatherings II Collection by Primitive Gatherings for Moda Fabrics.
