Mod Olives

I came across the Quick Curve Ruler at Quiltworks, one of the local quilt shops (LQS) I frequent.  Today also happened to be national shop at your local quilt shop day.  Like my blog titles I have a soft spot for notions, particularly acrylic rulers.  This was a worthy spend of a full loyalty card.  What sold me was the 20 + patterns listed on the front.  This is a "I mean business ruler".  A little exploration of the creators blog Sew Kind Of Wonderful led me to this quilt along.  First task it to pick fabric and post on flicker.  The fabric will be easy to find.  I am really keen on the fabric line High Street in the Moda family.I may use that as there is a green fabric I dig in that line.

The challenge is flicker, I have looked through photos on flicker, but never posted.  This will be interesting.

Let's Get this party started!

It's a new year with new goals.  I'm ready are you?  So I have to say that I learned a lot being in the Oklahoma City Modern Quilt Guild this past year.  Enough that I had the opportunity to have 2 quilts completed in time for the Oklahoma City Winter Quilt Show.  Big milestone!  I'm going to work on my to-do for the year as well as carve out some time to post some meaningful posts.  Hopefully someone will find some information of some use.  I picked up some new notions at the OKC Winter Quilt show.  I have to say I have become a acrylic ruler junkie.  My favorite brand is Creative Grids.  It was great getting to know the ladies a bit better as well as meeting people who are interested in modern quilts.
