This blog was intended to be the new Artquiltmaker Blog, but it never quite lived up to the expectations. Now this blog’s big sister is the new Artquiltmaker Blog. After weeks of work and lots of help from Deirdre, Artquiltmaker Blog is ready. I am moving the blog to my own domain with a new look, new features, a new layout and continuing the creativity and quiltmaking. Come and join me at my new blog: http://www.artquiltmaker.com/blog.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Nina Johansson is another sketch artist whose work I am admiring lately. I have a soft spot in my heart for coffee cups and hot drinks. I really liked this drawing. It is one I would buy a card or print of if offered.

You may have noticed the little badge I added awhile ago from TartX. The Blogging without Obligation badge is a reminder to myself that if I don’t post every day, nobody will die and the world won’t end.
To that end, I ry and be patient with people who don’t post as often as *I* 
would like them to post. Thus, I was thrilled today when I saw a couple of posts from Anna Maria Horner. She obviusly reads her blog comments, because her post is answers to a number of questions that came up in comments when she posted her multi-tasking bag -soon-to-be- pattern. I really liked the post. I clipped a little piece of it to get you there easily, though I really wanted to clip the part about the patterns and couldn’t.
oilcloth: Is being rolled onto bolts as we speak which is fabric talk for the last thing that happens before it ships to stores. You’ll have to check with your shops to ask if they’re carrying it, as I’m not sure that every store who has my quilting cottons will also have these. Though I know they’ve been popular picks. We’ll also have them listed in the shop in precut 2yd quantities as soon as they get here. They’re 55″ wide and I think will be retailing for 19$ or so a yard. AND GUESS WHAT? YOU DID IT! You banged your pots and pans & helped me get 3 MORE prints of Good Folks sent off to the mills for more oilcloth varieties! Yay you! It will take a little time to print and coat the wider goods, but you have this, this and this one to look forward too. |

Inspiration comes from everywhere and I found it on the Blog. freepeople.com site, which I had been looking at because of a cool bookmobile. These little vignettes are hilarious. The post links to a Flickr group for more.

I liked this video, which Deirdre was kind enough to share. It was a really nice taste of her work and a bit of creativity in itself.

This kind of site is a long time in coming. I am glad to see that Ami Simms has identified the need and taken the bull by the horns. I hope that many teachers will sign up and will make this a successful service.
FindAQuiltTeacher.com is a service that makes hiring quilt teachers easier by providing detailed and useful information about many teachers in one place and presenting this information in a standardized format. |
