So, have you heard the news yet?
C&T is excited to announce an upcoming book with the popular online quilting bee, Block Party. The book won’t be out until Spring of 2011, but in the meantime Alissa Haight Carlton and Kristen Lejnieks are reformatting their quilting bee as a quilt-along and all of you can join in!
Alissa and Kristen have taken the classic quilting bee format and created a fresh, modern, online version with 10 other talented quilters: Mr. Monkeysuit, Oh, Fransson, i heart linen, Tallgrass Prarie Studio, Looking In, A Quilt is Nice, Dogged, 100% Philistine Made, PinkLemonadeBoutique, and Film in the Fridge.
You really need to take a look at their blogs – their work is just beautiful:
I’ll leave it to the Block Party gals to tell you all the details, but I will say we at C&T are so excited to be working with this amazing group. They have not only contributed a unique voice to the quilting community, but are an inspiring example of how to create a sense of community in this increasingly digital world. And they are fun!
A fantastic way to get involved in an online quilting bee of your own or to increase participation in one you are involved in is through exploring the resources in the Quilting Bee Blocks Group on Flickr. I am looking forward to seeing all the blocks you make!
