June Cornucopia

 

Personal Size Watermelons - a sign that made me lol (and take this picture) in the grocery store.

Hopefully June was filled with as many "personal size" watermelons (or the equivalent) as you could handle. This is a cornucopia post, filled with watermelons, and links to the things I've enjoyed, read, consumed or spent time with online this past month.

I think this free EQ8 quilt design is a rather brilliant use of HSTs, Gem Galaxy.

This fabulous exhibit of embroidered dresses is detailed in a new book: The Alphabet of Expectations: An ABC Primer for Today's Girl

This discussion of why we don't finish the projects that we start was very useful to me, some different ways to think about the reasons and the changes we can make.

This is a great short video from PBS Canvas series highlighting two recent San Jose exhibits that dealt with women and technology, very interesting stuff. Really nice to see local museums shine in a national piece.

United We Stitch sounds like a pretty cool project to work on, and an exciting display to see in person.

I found this EQ8 blog post on designing a 250th quilt that will utilize charm packs pretty interesting and useful, as well as this follow up post. I've had some trouble with using the cutting charts that EQ8 calculates, so this should be helpful.
