this is bonnie hunter's new book. unless you've been under a rock for the past five or so years, no doubt you have heard of this quilting diva/temptress who has revolutionized the art of the scrappy quilt. even artsy types could get excited over these ideas. as one who loves/makes scrappy quilts AND is a traditional quilter, bonnie's gospel is my muse. she started her website offering ideas and patterns and photos to drool over for FREE. that's right, FREE. legions of converts consider her website an invaluable source of inspiration and expertise. she has coaxed me out of my safety zone; sort of, occasionally, increasingly, and inspired me beyond quilting 101 into patchwork nirvana, well almost. repurposing and recycling may be current buzzwords, but are practices not at all new and make perfect sense, not just in a challenging economy. if you're looking to be jettisoned from the humdrum quilting groove you're in, look no further than www.quiltville.com. in a flash, you'll be cutting up old shirts and stopping at every thrift, happily joining the pack.
Oh yes, I'm a huge fan too! Love Bonnie's patterns and her generosity is sharing so much on her site. Have all her books and have made many of her patterns :)
ReplyDeleteI've been a follower of Bonnie's blog, but I haven't bought any of her books yet.....I have her latest mystery quilt waiting for me to give it a try. Can't wait to see some of the projects you make from her book.
