Amanda sent in some info about a charity drive she is organising. There is a link to where you can download a poster or brochure to help spread the word.

I am doing a knitting drive in Canada for our local women’s shelter. This is the third year and last year we collected over 150 scarves! Pretty fun. Anyhow, you can find out info about the drive here.

Hello!

I enjoy your blog very much and have just added it to my list of inspirational blogs to visit. The amount of interesting material you post is
amazing!! I also wanted to make you aware of my blog called Crafty Synergy. I interview artists of all sorts to learn a little more about them and what they do. I hope you have a chance to visit.

Kate sent in this letter and link to a fabric dyeing post.

I know y’all have mentioned art quilter Lisa Call’s blog once before, but you might want to feature her recent series on how she hand-dyes the fabric for her quilts, which has lots of photos and specific tips on materials and techniques. It starts with this post

And this sweet letter from Shelby

Hello, I’m a loyal reader of whip up and thank you very much for posting so well and so often. Your site provides daily inspiration for me and is a must read every morning. (A few months ago I sent you a link to an amazing quilter which you shared with you readers.) I’m a collage artist and craftswoman living in Charlottesville, Virginia and recently launched my web site. It’s www.shelbyfischer.com. When you get a chance, please check it out..would be honored to be featured on whip up!

Here is some of Shelby’s work and this taken from her website:

Collage is the way I convey the stories and the universe in my head, … After “painting” backgrounds with layers of assorted papers, I arrange the images to create a scene that breathes new meaning into the originals. Each piece is completed with rhinestones, glitter, and found objects.
