So does January feel like a 'fresh start' to you too? I hope so! I'm clearing out some works-in-progress and on Saturday actually began a project with no purpose and no deadline - just something I've had in my mind to dabble with. That is one of my goals this year . . . create for the joy of creating. It feels good!

• Look for the new series on color that is already underway: "Colour: A Blog Series", hosted by Michelle/Factotum of Arts, with a great list of contributing bloggers.
• Quilt Storage: Tips from a Preservation Perspective by Amy/During Quiet Time is a thoughtful look at how we care for our quilts.
• The title alone caught my interest, but it's a helpful resource: The RST Guide to Weird Presser Feet by Right Sides Together.
• Jayne/Twiggy and Opal provides a simple and straight-forward technique for Hanging a Mini Quilt.
• Always on the look-out for Paper Piecing Tips, I noticed a new series by Penny Layman on we all sew. I've already picked up some tips, including the use of a seam roller, which I'm anxious to try next time I paper-piece.
• Isn't How to sew a perfect 1/4" seam a sometimes elusive goal? Crystal/Raspberry Spool provides some helpful tricks in an effort to achieve it.
• The new Paper Cut quilt block series by Stacey/SLOstudio is so striking! Do check it out. The first block can be used in a variety of settings - all really terrific.

P.S. If you're interested in making a triangle quilt of your own, check out How to Cut Equilateral Triangles and How to Sew Equilateral Triangles, both by Adrianne/On the Windy Side. Plus there's a magical Equilateral Triangle Quilt Calculator by Yvonne/Quilting Jetgirl. And just for fun, I've created an Equilateral Triangles pin board full of more inspiration. Go for it!
