We just love the patchwork logo from the Sochi Winter Olympics! You can go to this tutorial to make a table runner with the design that was inspired by the Olympics’ logo on Patchwork Posse’s blog: http://www.patchworkposse.com/2014/02/table-runner-tutorial-sochi-olymipcs-inspired/

Police are hopeful of finding the murderer of Cathy Zimmer, San Jose, California, whose murder occurred twenty-five years ago, through a mystery quilt that was covering her body. The quilt did not belong to anyone in the family and no one knowing the victim recognized the quilt either.
Mrs. Zimmer, who was thirty-eight, disappeared on March 8, 1989, in San Jose, and her body covered by the quilt, was found a couple of days later on the floor in the back seat of her car.
The article appeared in a couple of locations. Here is the one I read today:

Karen Nyberg, NASA astronaut, is a quilt maker, too. I have posted about her before.
While on board the International Space Station, Nyberg created a star-themed quilt block that returned to earth with her. Her block will be combined with blocks that other quitlers have made to create a quilt that will be displayed at the 2014 International Quilt Festival in Houston. (See a video of Karen Nyberg–with her block–on board the ISS!)

Nice Wall Street Journal article about Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilts, who does You Tube tutorials about quilt making at:

I think the Jelly Roll Race, about which I had posted previously, is her most popular tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEJLnaZQOU
with almost a million views.
Here’s one that I want to try: The Disappearing Pinwheel, just released, check out the video by clicking here!
