Yes I know that most everyone including myself, is trying to finish things for the holiday, but there are two new things that I need to share.
First, is the Sketchbook Challenge. About a dozen very creative people have gotten together and linked up their blogs to create this. They are all going to work a sketchbook ( each their own) with a different theme each month for 2011. At the blog, there are profiles of each of them, and links to tutorials and images on flicker of some of their sketchbooks. The badge in the right and column should take you directly there for more information. They have made this public and have invited the Quilt Art World to work along with them. I have every intention of doing just that and I think that anyone who is serious about creating original work should get in the sketchbook habit. I will happily post images from mine here as the year goes on.
Second, I am thanking those of you who read this with a free project. I have been making pillow boxes for gift giving from greeting cards on and off for many years. They are easy, green and look great if you have a pretty card to start with. If you leave a comment on this blog before Christmas Eve I will send you the pattern and instructions by email. Just click on "Your thoughts ??" and follow the instructions, remember that if you comment as anonymous, I wont be able to send you anything.
I know it's past the deadline - but I'll throw in a quick request for the pattern. The boxes sound lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat always truly helps people come to your blog are the visuals - people love eye candy and as soon as they see a picture of your pillow boxes they might jump at the offer!
I wish you a happy, prosperous - and well networked New Year! I'm so glad you are joining us at the sketchbook project!
