whipup weekly newsletter – jan 2010
Back from my summer vacation – beach holiday – with family – we have 4 more weeks of school holidays and I am not back at work till Feb – yahoo! heaps to do around the house – including a quilt a day for my [secret project] next book … I have a little fan set up next to my sewing machine and a massage chair in the corner ready. Welcome everyone to 2010 – 2009 was a good year and here’s hoping 2010 will be better.
As I was away from the computer for the last 3 weeks, whipup had a series of ‘best of 2009′ going – hope you enjoyed them all as much as I did – rediscovering old favourites and finding things you might have missed during the year.
- WHIPUP: BEST OF 2009 SERIES: … art meets craft … kids projects … sewing for you … craft spaces … quilt … lunch … bags … felt … refashion … crochet … knitting …
- Need to make something – here is a lovely small project: 65 Roses quilt for charity find out how you can participate and make a square for this quilt here.
- Still time for Calendars: 2010 whipup crafty collectible calendar here (sorry no discounts as these are print on demand – but really they are worth it).
- … Nicole has been back on the job with some great tutes and posts to kick off the year … wedding favours … sewing in darts … 5 min doily garland … switching bag … resolution calendar download … best of the decade post from sew mama sew …
- BOOK: Just before heading off on holidays I participated in the book tour for applique your way – a new and lovely book on things applique from Kayte Terry from the blog This is Love Forever.
Hope the year has started off well – happy crafting!
