So this past week at our monthly meeting we learned all about the Instagram craze, the Scrappytripalong. Here are some links to keep you inspired and get started on your own!

Original tutorial: Quiltville Scrappy Trips Around the World.

The Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild is participating in a pincushion swap with the Oklahoma City MQG.  The swap will occur at QuiltCon in February but you don't need to be going to QuiltCon to participate.
Bring your pincushion to the February meeting and give it to Teresa who will bring them to QuiltCon in Austin. 

There are a few ground rules:
All pincushions should have a modern aesthetic
Pincushions should contain nothing breakable

Pincushions should be tagged with the following info:
name
email
blog (if applicable)
guild
filling materials (in case of allergies)
whether or not you are attending QuiltCon (Y/N)

Here is some inspiration:
