Our website, mob quilts.com, is now up and running. Thank you to Laura at Mosaikweb.com for all her work designing and setting up the site. We love the new look.
Some of us are into instant gratification. As in, "That looks cool; I want to have it now." There's also the idea of trying to be kinder to our little blue planet. As in, "Do I really want more paper to store or file or recycle?" With this in mind each of our patterns is (or soon will be) available as a PDF. Many are already good to go. A few of the older ones are fighting back, but I'll get them done as soon as I can.
For some reason, Citrus Salad is being particularly feisty. I dream of a day when all my electronic minions learn to work together.
Barb and I also want this site to be responsive to what you, as quilters, are looking for. All your input is welcome. Even though there are lots of guilds and quilt groups and friendly quilt shops, quilting can still be a solitary undertaking. We'd like to offer friendship and support to all quilters who come to our site both because it sounds fun and because the quilting community has been good to us.
I love that we're launching in October. It's pretty much my favorite month. Tomorrow is the day I've appointed to put out my Halloween decorations. It's a time when it's socially acceptable to be a little "out there" and I really love that. In honor of that, our first pattern, Colors of Fall, is on special this month. It's pretty quick and easy to make and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
One of the things I like about this one is that it's appropriate from September through November. As much as I love my Halloween quilts, hanging them up in the house before or after October kind of creeps people out.
Now that the days and nights are cooler and the garden is mostly finished until next spring, I'm loving the idea of doing more quilting. If only I didn't have to cook and shop and pick up the house and . . . well, I'm guessing you get it. Sometimes life gets in the way of my fun. Still, I don't think I'd want to have it any other way.
Please sign up for our newsletters. We promise not to flood your inbox. We'll talk a bit more about quilting techniques and welcome your input and ideas. We'll also email you the patterns for two postcards just for signing up.
Keep having fun,
Candy
