Shownotes for Episode 17

OK - here is the infamous (?) block with the tiny tiny square in a square center... It is from the Civil War Book page 86/87 and the block is titled 'Gardening'

The top photo shows my 'tip off the old podcast' for this week - using a small water spritzer and a wooden iron on your foundation paper piecing. With Carol Doak's paper - the printing bleeds when spritzed - not too bad, but it does. With some non-descript paper that I must have purchases from J. Hittle; no bleeding. Go figure.

Also - do use the add an eighth ruler! It really cuts down on bulk!

If you are interested in EQ6 - then this is the best price I found.... You need to add it to your basket for the discounted price to show up...

Book-e-Pod A Great Japanese embroidery book. You can find it at this ETSY shop .

Shownotes for Episode 15 - NOTIONS!

Here is a photo of majority of the notions I spoke of during the podcast...

please note that the picture above includes the tip off the old podcast - the homemade bias tape wrapped around a tp roll!



Below: The blue 'scalpel' like object - yes - awesome! (link is for a metal one, even better!)  The clover glue stick (green cap) - yes - not awesome!  And a photo of the wooden pencil without a led?? Wow, I really need to work on my descriptive abilities! As well as the sandpaper paddle.
The tweezers from EK Success.

NOTE: I HAVE NOT PURCHASED FROM THESE WEBSITES MYSELF - THEREFORE, I CANNOT SAY WHETHER THEY ARE SUPER GOOD OR NOT:)

The chalk mechanical pencil set that I like a lot...  Curious about this though...

Found where you can purchase this transfer pen online!!

BLOG OF THE POD: BLOCK A DAY 
She (Lily Boot) is an extremely talented crafter and also has a wonderful sense of humor!  There is much to ooh and aah over, and enjoy:)

BOOK-E-POD:  Cute Stuff
By Aronzi Aronzo!  Very cute stuff to sew, embroider, create, and applique!

TIP OFF THE OLD PODCAST: See photo above (the first one) for the TP roll with homemade bias tape wrapped around it!

Oh my, I nearly forgot - here is the link to J. Hittle Sewing - do sign up for the newsletter, the prices are great!

Oh and here is a couple shots of the lecien fabric in all it's glory!

oops - the shows notes for episode 7

Sorry about the show note delay!  My bad.

Also - having re-re-re-listened to the last podcast - note to self - don't do book reviews where all you say is, 'this is cute'.  And don't do a podcast without at least a little homework!

Here are some of the book covers of the super exciting book reviews I did!

Quilt Mania Magazine - $$ but worth it!

This is a cover from Quilt Mania that I really really loved - it's a pieced backing with applique and it's just, I don't know; touching.

I talked about this magazine in my last podcast, so I thought I would put a link...

My local Barnes and Noble carries this magazine - maybe your does too?
