Life has thrown our family a few curves this Christmas, and we are more than ready to say good bye to 2009. Oh, well, we cannot control life’s curves, but we can do a great job stitching curved seams with Inklingo.

Russ has been lying on the couch coughing and channel surfing today. My desk is not far away, and I can tell that Christmas Day offers very little choice. He stumbled on a Spelling Bee just when the word “passacaglia” was presented and we both laughed. He connected to a satellite circling the earth at exactly the right moment. The long-the-other-way traffic light near our house is always green for Russ too. He has a gift. He is a gift.

You could win a fabulous prize of fabric! In celebration of Tilde’s fantastic Passacaglia Table Runner Pattern (free, see previous entry), and in celebration of Christmas and the New Year, Tilde and I are collaborating on a Give Away. (Monkey calls it a Give-A-Way, not a Give Away, because Inklingo is a simpler new way to quilt.)

Passacaglia is a musical form dating back to the early 1600s. Lucy Boston, the renowned English patchwork artist, interpreted the style in fabric as a gift for the talented friend who played her favorite Passacaglia on the harpsichord in her ancient manor house near Cambridge.
Tilde Binger, a dear freind (friend) and Inklingoist, took one look at the Passacaglia Patchwork in Diana Boston’s book and knew she had to make one!

Jane Austen is in my thoughts almost every day, for one reason or another. Today is the anniversary of the day she was born, 234 years ago. She has had a wonderful influence on my life, in several ways.

It is starting to look very wintery here in Burlington. We’re thinking about Christmas, and that means gifts.
We have some timely ideas—and some exciting news about new collections.

There are TWO new Inklingo Shape Collections today! Monkey and I think you will love the gentle curves and wonderful designs that are possible with Orange Peel shapes. The Basic Inklingo Orange Peel shapes are all you need for dozens of quilt layouts.
The Deluxe Inklingo Orange Peel collection is my favorite because it makes some stunning, unusual blocks possible—blocks that are very uncommon because without Inklingo, they were tedious to prepare and stitch.
