Media<\/strong>
\nI listened to an episode of Pat Sloan’s Creative Talk Radio with Amanda Herring of the Quilted Fish. She described her new fabric line from Riley Blake. It is called Sugar & Spice<\/a>. THEN the Fabricworm<\/a> sent out a teaser a week or so ago and I can’t get the fabric in the teaser out of my head. ERGH!!! Those fabrics would go perfectly with my red & aqua quilt even though I am not buying them.<\/p>\n

I heard about Matt and Shari on Mark Lipinski’s Creative Mojo and was so impressed with all the information on their website<\/a>. They have all sorts of different projects, info about color, lighting, etc. They have a section on framing a quilt block<\/a>, which includes the book I learned to quilt with, Diana Leone’s The Sampler Quilt. I have the original edition, which I still use for the binding lesson and the newer edition, which has great blocks.<\/p>\n

Creative Mojo is growing on me. Mark is interviewing a lot of interesting people and telling me about a lot of interesting books. I hope I can meet him someday and have some of his fortune rub off. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I was looking at my Google Reader for once since it was pouring rain and I didn’t want to go out for my usual lunch time walk. I saw a post from Fresh Lemons<\/a> showing the Sugar Pop line of fabric. It looks so much better in her photo than it does in my workroom and I am starting to think that if this rain lasts much longer, I am going to have to breakdown and paint over the life sucking beige that still exists in my space.<\/p>\n

Bari J, who is getting lots of press right now for her relatively new book, was the guest hostess on Wednesday Night Live<\/a> with Lisa Fulmer of C&T publishing. She was demonstrating embroidery stitches and tools. There is more information on Creating the Hive<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On My Mind-Revisted<\/strong>
\nA few weeks ago I made a list<\/a> of projects. I did that because those projects were cluttering up my mind. They are, with their status:<\/p>\n
