I read magazines on the plane. As I go through them, I rip out pages that are interesting to me. The March 2013 issue of Dwell was very rip-worthy! First, for Jacquie… this is so you! If I had a room for it, it would be me, too.

(FYI – you can click on any picture to make it bigger.) I am sort of intrigued by the idea of inlaying tiles in a wood floor… I've not seen it done quite this way. At some point soon we are going to do a bit of remodeling and I wonder if this would be good in either my dining room or breakfast room…

Hexes really are everywhere! These are wall tiles by Form Us With Love for Traullit. I don't know where I would put them, but they are interesting – and very reminiscent of the 70s. The Traullit website has more.

I never could figure out who designed the iron screen, below. The house it is in was designed by architect William Massie. At any rate, I really love the design…

I went through Consumer Reports and found out that yellow Frog Tape is actually better than blue painter's tape in tests that involve actual paint. Good to know.

AND – the folks at Why Quilts Matter, a non-profit created by the Kentucky Quilt Project, is making episode 8 in their very informative series available on youtube. If you like it, you might consider purchasing the whole series – proceeds will be used by them for future quilt projects. There is a free Discussion Guide on their website if you want to watch the episode with friends and then disucss it. Watch episode 8 here or click here.

Have a good weekend – I hope you have time to sew!
