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

  26. Evening, Wonderful post. artificial, specially from the major news corperations with the big slants to the left or right. Did you see last nights O’Rielly factor? haha, that was rediculous! Sorry, I am rambling along once again. Have a Great day!

  27. This is such a beautiful bag with luscious colors! I do not quilt or sew but always admire the workmanship and artistry that goes into these creations! Please add me to your giveaway for a chance at this amazing piece! And thank you for being a part of the OWOH Magic Carpet Ride! 🙂 Hugs, Tamara

  30. Nice blog, Love that you are in it mostly to inspire and get inspired. not for money or profit…maybe down the road. The same reason I am starting one…for networking,but I do feel, that this the calling God is sending me on since becoming disabled…go back to art. Perhaps I will be able to eek out a meager living eventually.

    I do not quilt,but I do sew (though it has been a while) I always LOVED batik and always wanted to learn how to do it!

    what a beautiful bag! Maybe I will be the lucky one to have fly to my home 🙂

    Be well and Be warm 🙂

    I am new to blogging (blog being built) but not to art. I hope you will include me in this wonderful giveaway!
