What's Your Story?

I recently got my hands on the new Intentional Piecing book by Amy Friend (full disclosure: the publisher sent it) and I was immediately hooked. It's rare to flip through a quilty book and find so many projects that I cannot wait to make! There's lots of foundation piecing and TONS of unique projects.I started right in on the Tell Me a Story blocks. I decided to choose not just fabrics I love, but fabrics that represent things I love. I used lime for the tiny frame corners, teals for the frame and a mixture of dots for the corners.My first block is about travel, then another for ocean animals and obviously one for sewing! In case you can't read it, it says "a clean house is the sign of a broken sewing machine". A cheesy joke AND sewing...my heart sings. I already have a pile of future blocks selected.The other quilt I can't wait to start is Crazy Eights! I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it with Jen Kingwell lollies!The best part of this book is how conversational it is. I don't know Amy personally (just in the online stratosphere) but I felt like we were buds sitting down to make a quilt. The book is well thought out, clever and full of fresh ideas.?I highly recommend it!It's available through your local quilt shop, your local bookstore or here with a 30% discount using FRIEND30.xo LC
