One World One Heart

Update: 2/15/2010: The contest is closed! Thanks for reading. Check the 2/16/2010 post for the winner! Thanks for playing and come  back and read the blog!

Welcome, new readers and well known readers, to Artquiltmaker.com. We are participating in One World One Heart, a fun way to get to know new blogs and win prizes! Lisa created this event in 2007. “The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way”, as she says on her blog.

Artquiltmaker Blog is a way for me to share what I am working on with other creative people. I like the idea of this blog being a magazine type information source, so I try to vary the content to include commentary on works in progress, book reviews, media reviews (such as podcasts), Quilt World News, etc. Sometimes I venture outside of quiltmaking to appreciate other artists, different crafts and and report on different events and exhibits I attend. Every week, I put up a creative prompt as a way to spark inspiration and creativity in the Artquiltmaker.com community. You can find more information about the creative prompt on the AQ CPP Inspiration page. In the future I would like to include tutorials as well. It is on the list!

At this time there is no money making venture associated with Artquiltmaker. I write in this space because I enjoy writing, love quiltmaking and want to share my creative journey. My hope is that Artquiltmaker.com and Artquiltmaker blog will inspire you to be creative and expand your creative horizons.

As part of the One World One Heart Project, I will be giving away at least one prize.

Batik Handbag

  3. I love the opportunity this contest gives me to discover new blogs like yours! Beautiful prize, too!

    I have never been to an artquiltmaker blog before — all the blogs in this contest are new to me, and they make me want to find a crafty art to call my own! Your bag is beautiful.

  11. What a fun blog! (and as a quiltmaker myself I’m looking forward to exploring your pages more deeply!) I do love the bag you created too, and I’d love a chance to win it! I’m so glad that you are a part of One World One Heart this year! Please do enter my name in your giveaway and please do stop by my post as well, if you have not already had the chance. http://www.thelightifind.blogspot.com

  16. Hi from Manchester, New Hampshire ! This is my first time on your blog. I am a mixed media artist and I do some work with fabrics but I am a very basic sewer. I especially love the bright colors I have seen on your blog and in the lovely bag that you are offering in your giveaway ! thanks so much for the chance to win it.
    I hope you enjoy your OWOH adventure !
    Cheers !

  24. what a great giveaway. thanks so much for the opportunity to enter the drawing. so delighted to meet you through this event. I hope you’ll stop by my blog as well.

  30. This is my first time to your blog. I’m Canadian but I live in Finland. I’ve never tried visual journaling. I hadn’t thought about it before but I agree with you that it does look messy. I wonder if I could add a lot of stuff to a page without it looking too messy to me.

  36. I am not sure if I left a comment- I don’t see it here so I am going to leave another one in case the first one didn’t work. I only intended to leave you one comment so if this is a duplicate I apologize.
    I love your batik bag- batiks are one of my favorite kinds of fabric. The colors are rich and I love the imprinted designs on them. Your winner is going to love having such a summery looking handbag.

    I am a quilter from Western Canada (Edmonton Alberta) and I did go and visit your art inspiration page- I certainly will go back and visit again because I have been seeking inspiration – some times one loses the drive to create or gets stuck. I have added your homepage to my bloglist.

    I hope you have many visitors and that you meet bloggers from all over the globe. Happy blogging and quilting.
