Lots of Stars and NTT

Welcome to Needle and Thread Thursday, y'all!  After spending so much brain power on getting my son off to college, it feels odd to have so much extra space for other thoughts.  This week, I put that extra time to good use in my studio.

I'm really happy with the way these blocks look together.  I can already see the secondary pattern that I wanted emerging, and once I get them sewn up into a finished quilt top, it is really going to take shape (and then of course, I can get a better photo, too).

On another note- are you a Make Modern magazine reader?  If not, you should take a look.  It's filled with modern quilty goodness.  I'm happy to report that I'll be featured in Issue 54 (coming next week)!

I also had another bit of wonderful news from my publisher today.  After being released only two months ago, Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs is being reprinted!  I wrote this book to be THE definitive resource on pieced quilt backs, and I'm so happy it's been so well received.  

If you've been on the fence, now is the perfect time to add it to your library. You can get a signed copy from my Etsy shop by clicking the book cover on my top left sidebar, or pick it up from Amazon, Connecting Threads, or anywhere else you usually buy books.  I promise you'll love it!

My goodness, last week's party was just amazing.  Y'all really know how to bring the inspiration!  These Christmas starts from Gretchen's Little Corner have me wishing for the cooler weather of the holidays!

Take a look at this gorgeous custom quilting from Anne-Marie at Stories From the Sewing Room-

Sew Preeti Quilts linked up this gorgeous quilt.  Look at that beautiful quilt reflection!

And finally, I am delighted to share this absolutely stunning quilt from Rebecca Grace Quilting-

Just, WOW!  I'm always so very impressed by the creativity of my quilty friends.  Y'all are awesome.  So, let's do it again!

1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!

2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your 

    post.  

4. Spread the comment love far and wide!

5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
