This month, TQS Block of the
Month designer, Sarah Vedeler, will have you adding the setting "triangles" to create a big circle, and then adding a paper pieced circular border. The setting "triangles" are a great place to feature some really cool quilting or trapunto.
Check out the video for some ideas. You'll find a few templates for quilting included in the instructions.

Take a look, but before you start, you might want to grab your shades.

We thought you might enjoy another winner from the AQS Grand Rapids Show. Birds in Hand was created by Mandie Burrell of King George, VA. (We think it just might be TQS Member, manburr75).

We are in Bozeman, Montana to tape some more shows for TQS. We visited The Main Street Quilting Company and saw this sewing machine tractor. We knew that our friend Michael Hinton of Gammill Quilting Systems is an Antique Tractor enthusiast and we took this picture for him.

As we continue our focus on getting YOUR studio organized, think vertical. By getting things up and off the floor or table you will be amazed at how much your work space will increase. Here are some great ideas to help you achieve vertical organization.
Pegboards can help corral a whole host of tools AND keep everything easily accessible. Pegboards can be found at most hardware stores, are inexpensive, and come in large sheets that can be cut down to size, which makes them a great "custom" solution regardless of the space available. To keep things even more streamlined and less visually busy, paint the pegboard to match your wall color.
Look at this great tip from Bernina's We All Sew for stashing your stabilizer. It's a hanging shoe storage rack.
Create a quick-and- easy design wall with this tip from TQS member mgbusb: Use interconnecting foam floor tiles! These tiles are generally used for children's play areas, but work equally well when attached to a wall with a few nails.
mgbusb says that "because they interlock, [the tiles] help hold each other to the wall." Covered with a sheet of batting cut to size, the design wall allows her to pin WIP (Works in Progress) without marring the walls.

This weeks brings a close to our global tours. We end the tour with a visit to the
Republic of Turkey. A country filled with cosmopolitan cities, pastoral villages and barren landscapes. A big thank you to TQS member Randi for sharing these wonderful images with us.
We hope that you have enjoyed our weekly jaunts around the world this summer. Let us know if you would like to see more of these tours in the future.
