Stash Bandit’s Best of 2017 Linky Party

Written by Diane Harris on December 26, 2017. Posted in Blog, How-tos and Ideas, Quilt Lifestyle

I’m joining in with the Best of 2017 Linky Party hosted by Cheryl Brickey over at Meadow Mist Designs. It’s a fun way to see a lot of quilts and find some fresh people to follow. You’ll find a link to the party at the end of this post. But first, here is the Best of 2017 from Stash Banditβ€”it’s in countdown form, Casey Kasem-style!

#5: How to Combine Quilting Fabrics: LET GO!

This post has to be in my top five because it’s what Stash Bandit is all about: Combining interesting fabrics in unexpected ways to make dynamite scrap quilts! So much fun!

Stash Bandit is all about helping quilters learn to combine fabrics in new and interesting ways.

#4: Free Pattern: Make a Solar Eclipse Quilt

The total solar eclipse was a big deal this year, and I designed a quilt to commemorate it. It’s not too late to make your own souvenir for posterity!

 

#3: Become a Color-Savvy Quilter

We all struggle with color from time to time. But there are a few tricks that will make you color-savvy!

 

#2: Jingle Bells Trunk Show

I’ve recently debuted a new program for quilt groups. “Jingle Bells” is an energizing trunk show of Christmas quilts, and there’s a little something for everyone! (Here’s where you can inquire about booking me!)

Nesting Nicks by Diane Harris appeared in Quiltmaker’s Small Quilts & Gifts and is part of the Jingle Bells trunk show for quilt groups.

 

#1: A Christmas Cover Quilt

My little Christmas tree quilt was on the cover of Quick Quilts recently. It was definitely a #1 thrill for me!
