><br />

Auribuzz<br />

Aurifil’s blog, Auribuzz, is a<br />

treasure trove of eye candy,<br />

inspiration, and industry news.<br />

You’ll see their latest color<br />

collections—many coordinate<br />

with designers’ fabric lines.<br />

You’ll also find designer<br />

profiles, tutorials, and tips.<br />

FB: Quilt Design A Day<br />

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 />

IG: Amanda Murphy<br />

Design<br />

We’ve mentioned Amanda on<br />

this page before, but if you’re<br />

not following her on IG, you’re<br />

missing out on some gorgeous<br />

eye candy! Amanda has two<br />

new collections coming out<br />

this fall—Meadow Dance and<br />

Winter Games.<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 />
