HOORAY! TODAY IS THE DAY!
Bonnie Hunter has released the first clue for Celtic Solstice on the Quiltville Quips & Snips blog.
TWO OPTIONS!
- Bonnie is teaching traditional methods for rotary cutting with acrylic rulers and machine piecing.
- I am teaching Inklingo methods with an optional shape collection created for Bonnie.
I am thrilled that Bonnie is also featuring Inklingo for this year’s mystery, and not just because I have seen the gorgeous finished design!
I have been dying to show you the cool cutting and sewing techniques that are only possible with Inklingo.

WHO USES INKLINGO?
Thousands of quilters in more than 60 different countries have used Inklingo in the past 7 years. Word has passed from quilter to quilter in many different languages!
Inklingo makes it easier for any quilter to get better results in less time, but it also makes quilting more accessible to beginners and quilters who have limited time for quilting.
Designers often forget about quilters who are unable to rotary cut accurately, but Inklingo makes it possible to use scissors or a rotary cutter, without measuring, without math, and without templates, so Bonnie Hunter has included everyone.
CHOCOLATE OR VANILLA?
Whether you print on fabric with Inklingo or use acrylic specialty rulers, we will all have a great time sewing Celtic Solstice this year. Chocolate or vanilla? There is no wrong answer!
Most quilters who have not printed on fabric with Inklingo imagine that it takes more time than it does, so this series of clues should get you excited about the possibilities, whether it is another Bonnie Quilt or Double Wedding Ring, or any of the other quilts in the Inklingo Smart Shopper’s Idea Book.
Love the lines. Quilt more!

I wasn’t going do Bonnie’s mystery this year due to too much stuff going on in my life right now, but I can’t resist!!!! It is just waaaay too tempting with having Inklingo instructions at the ready. I am enthralled that you, Linda, are detailing this mystery for us. As a dedicated Inklingo-ist, I sincerely hope this exposes many new people to the wonders of Inklingo.
Does anyone know if Linda, Monkey (inklingo) are participating in the Small Business Day today? Thanks! Am in the process of order my inklingo now. Carmela
I love in the video that Linda used a different color inks for triangles A and B. That is an at-a-glance indicator of which piece you are picking up.
Hi Kari and everyone else!
I found Linda’s video working on Bonnie Hunter’s site!

I’m sure Monkey and Linda are well aware of the problems and waiting for turkey filled IT pro’s to help.
Hugs to all,

The video link isn’t working 🙁 YouTube says a team of highly trained monkeys are looking into it so I thought maybe Monkey might check with them and see what the status is!
