The ABC’s of Quilting

As I said, the theme of NaBloPoMo for April is letters. So I decided to try to post once a day (at least) something that relates to quilting or sewing and starts with the “Letter of the Day.” I thought it would be nice to give you a glimpse into what I have planned to write about. Of course, this is just a plan, so it is bound to change. I think I will add a block for each letter if I didn’t already choose a block. That way it’s like a double whammy!  So here’s my list:

A – Acronyms for Quilting and Sewing Enthusiasts

B – Bernina

C – Cotton (fabric!)

D - Drunkard’s Path block

E – Easy First Projects

F – Four Patch block

G – Grandmother’s Flower Garden block

H – Half Square Triangles

I – Irish Chain block and quilt

J - Jacob’s Ladder block

K – King’s Crown block (this should be interesting since this one is new to me)

L – Log Cabin block

M – Monkey Wrench block (a.k.a. Churn Dash) or Moda (fabrics!)

N - Nine Patch block

O – Organizing Your Sewing Room

P – Pillow Cases (OK, not Quilting related exactly, but close)

Q – Quilting (of course)

R – Rotary Cutter

S – Star Puzzle block or Star Flower block

T – Tote bags

U – Unsewing

V - Variagated Thread

W – Washing Fabric

X – X - Squared block

Y – Yellow Fabric in Quilts

Z - Zippers (unless anyone can suggest anything better since I am deathly afraid of sewing zippers!)

My friends always tease me that I can talk about practically anything for at least two minutes. We’ll see if that’s true. They also say I can almost always relate whatever we are talking about back to sewing and quilting.  Well, why not? Hope this list sparks your interest and gets you to come back and visit often. Until next time.

Happy Stitches to You,

Anna
