Do you love the curves and circles of Winding Ways and Wheel of Mystery? There are three new Inklingo shape collections and a Design Book to tempt you! The Winding Ways Design Book is at least a $20 value, but it is free right now. It is packed with information and worksheets to help you design your own quilt or use any traditional pattern with Inklingo.

A Canadian Inklingo quilter says that “back-basting” is how she was taught to appliqué when she was young, and it was just called “appliqué,” so it seems to have been around for at least several decades.

Many quilters are familiar with “needle-turn appliqué,” or using templates for appliqué, but a recent discussion in the Inklingo Yahoo group about the new Dresden Plate Appliqué Collection made it clear that some quilters are confused by the term “back-basting.”

First thing this morning, I was able to make an online donation to the Canadian Red Cross for $400, including 25% of all orders on Saturday and Sunday, and a little more of my own. This will be matched by the Canadian Government, dollar for dollar, so this brief event has added $800 to the relief effort in Haiti. This money is available to the Red Cross immediately.

For every order placed on my web site by midnight tomorrow night (Sunday, 17 January) I will donate 25% to the Canadian Red Cross for Haitian Relief on Monday. Depending on the response, I am hoping to be able to repeat this.

There have already been “complaints” about the new Dresden Plate collections—too much choice, not accurately named, irresistible, causes heart to race, etc. LOL These Inklingo collections include so many blades, backgrounds, and variations that to call them “Dresden Plate” seems misleading. I’m sorry. The shapes were so exciting, we could not stop!

Oh, my goodness! In the rush to complete the new Dresden Plate shape collections, I completely forgot to announce the winner of the beautiful fabric for Tilde’s Passacaglia!!
