NOV 15, 2020 === If you are coming to look for the November Designer interview, it has been delayed due to a technical issue on the designers end. As soon as she has it resolved I'll post. It could be a few days.

Happy October 15th, Aurifil Designer of the Month Day!
*** The Aurifil Project ***
Our October Aurifil Designer of the Month is Sherry Shish who really wanted this purple to honor someone special to her, she tells you all about the meaning of it in my interview. so head over and read my interview for Aurifil's Designer of the Month Series! Then come back

*** Featured Aurifil Collection ***
Each month the Aurifl color Builder box is named for a town in Italy. We go to Amalfi today with the gorgeous color purple. Each designer is creating a block based on something about the thread collection that inspires them. For Sherry it is they color purple. The Aurifil blocks are exciting and unique. At the end of the year I create a layout.
*** My Block and a tip ***
I make the blocks in totally different fabrics.
Sherry has a really clever block construction, but if you change out the color placement in the middle like I did, then you have to make more blocks and will have units you don't use.
My stripe is printed on the diagonal. Here i do an audition for the direction of it.

When I got back in to quilting after many years,I tried to find many of your books as each has so many great patterns, techniques and suggestions.
So far I have: Fast Forward Quilts,What A Novel Idea, I Can’t Believe I’m Quilting-Beginner’s & Beyond, Teach Me To Sew Triangles and Teach Me To Machine Quilt.
I’m on the hunt for the Teach Me To Make My First Quilt.
