I am going to run a ruler-quilting linky party.
I love linky parties and have been thinking for a while to set one up. Ruler quilting is the obvious subject for me
Part of the collection (slightly embarrassing!)...I still got a few more put away in another box!
Given the amount of new rulers coming out all the time it made sense to me to focus in on that, as I am certainly addicted to it and I am pretty sure that I am not alone in that. Quilters seem to be collectors and like with many things, sometimes we buy these items and then don't use them. I am hoping that a linky party might encourage people to get out their rulers and give it a go and hopefully get some inspiration on what can be achieved with some very simple designs.
For example, my recent baby quilt
Not much ruler work really, but it certainly made this quilt pop.
...or the Bird quilt
...that went from a fairly simple block to quite spectacular.
The linky party will begin on Tuesday 28th January and run for a week. At this stage I am thinking of hosting this on a fortnightly basis.
The rules will be basic...join in if you are using rulers on your DSM or longarm, make sure to visit other blogs and leave some comments and enjoy the inspiration. I will set up a page closer to the date.
Please grab the button (which took me over a week to get right 😅) and spread the word. Hope to see you at the party!

Awesome quilting! I am looking forward to learning more about ruler quilting.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of overcommitting myself, that sounds like great fun!
