This prolific group, known as<br />
QDAD, exists to encourage<br />
quilters to design a little bit<br />
(15-20 minutes) each day.<br />
Whether you join just to look<br />
or use the page as inspiration<br />
to grow your designing skills,<br />
you’ll find plenty of fun here!<br />
Shannon Fraser<br />
Designs<br />
Have you heard of the<br />
100 Day Project? It’s a<br />
free global art project that<br />
started last April. (check out<br />
#the100dayproject). Shannon<br />
just finished the finished quilt<br />
from her challenge. Browse her<br />
site to see more of her work!<br />

not following her on IG, you’re<br />
missing out on some gorgeous<br />
eye candy! Amanda has two<br />

Modern Quilts<br />
Two familiar names in quilting<br />
are Alex Anderson and Ricky<br />
Tims. While their show and quilts<br />
cover a range of techniques<br />
and styles, we know you’ll like<br />
their Modern Quilts Pinterest<br />
board—a little wonky, a little<br />
improv, and a lot of design!<br />
The Midnight Quilt<br />
Show<br />
It’s entirely possible that<br />
The Midnight Quilt Show,<br />
featuring Angela Walters, was<br />
created with all of us night-owl<br />
quilters in mind. This YouTube<br />
series features a different<br />
quilt each week. Watch<br />
(and sew) in your pajamas!<br />
