Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
I didn’t sew on Scrapitude during the Black Friday sew-in, but I did cut. As you know, my original plan was to cut as needed. I wanted to see what would look good. Really, I wanted to exert some control over the process. It was hard to move through the clues without having cut in … Continue reading “Scrapitude – Endlessly Some Progress”
Periodically, I look at my design and think “there is enough here for a post”, so here is that post. The last post I wrote about what was on my design wall was earlier this year. You can find it on the April 1, 2013 post. My cup runneth over. Well, my design wall runneth … Continue reading “What’s on the Design Wall”
It has been awhile since I posted an update on this project. Nonnie asked about it during the Black Friday Sew-in and I thought it would be a good time to do an update. I am shocked that the last time I posted about this project was in September. I am also shocked that it … Continue reading “Fabric of the Year -Early December 2013”
Yes, I do realize today is not Friday, but we are shaking things up a bit here at Artquiltmaker blog, because tomorrow is the Black Friday Sew-in and there is too much happening to do the Creative Prompt as well. In a bit of celebration of U.S. Thanksgiving, the word this week fits in with … Continue reading “Creative Prompt #235: Meal”
Introduction Sarah was kind enough to ask me to participate in this blog hop. Although I did write a bag review for Purse Palooza at the request of Sara over a Sew Sweetness, I feel like this is a different kind of thing. Thus I am sticking to my guns and saying that this is … Continue reading “Review, Blog Hop & Giveaway: Sarah Ann Smith”
I am terribly behind on podcasts and I don’t know when I’ll be able to catch up. This means I haven’t heard whether any of the podcasters are organizing a Black Friday Sew-in. I will not be shopping on the 29th, so I will be tweeting while I am, hopefully, sewing. I have a couple … Continue reading “Thinking about #BFSI”
Yesterday I detailed all the BFSI comments you wrote (keep ’em coming!) and the prizes I gave away. I actually did get sewing done, which was great. I don’t feel like I got as much sewing done as I would have liked, but I got enough done. I guess. As an aside: Is it ever … Continue reading “#BFSI in Review”
Unless you were absolutely not paying attention, or just discovered this blog yesterday, you will know that I participated in the Black Friday Sew-in. I was pleased to get some prizes from Lark Crafts (thanks, Shannon & Ray) to giveaway. I also had a few bits and bobs to round out the gifts. I posted … Continue reading “#BFSI Follow-up”
The Creative Prompt will return next week. I am taking the week off for the Black Friday Sew-in. Check out the hashtag #bfsi on Twitter or Tweetchat.
I am hiding upstairs for a minute to breathe. I am Miss Popularity down in the dining room (she who brings food is popular) at the moment. The Black Friday Sew in is on Friday (thus the name). Sandy organized all the things she wants to work on and I realized halfway through the main … Continue reading “Oh Dear! #BFSI”
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY!!! This is a gratuitous post to give Lark Craft books a boost since they are supporting the Black Friday Sew-in on Friday (thus the name Black FRIDAY). Lark is having a sale on their Craft books via BN.com. Now is the time to pick up some goodies for your quilting, … Continue reading “Lark Crafts Books on Sale”
I was really on the fence about the BAMQG pincushion swap. I wanted to try it, but was concerned I would have trouble making it. I didn’t quite know how to deal with the button and I didn’t want to make myself crazy trying to get it right. I decided to participate in the Pincushion … Continue reading “Pincushion Swap”
