January 2010
Back spasms from sewing quilt tops every day have abated – I found sewing standing up to be surprisingly comfortable – I put my sewing machine on top of a milk crate. Now I have been sadly neglecting this space – its all the fault of my (almost) new long arm quilter. I love it – its so much fun.
Thank you to everyone who entered the ‘Color your cloth’ competition – don’t forget Malka’s free scarf project too. And we had a guest post – a simple way to re-purpose vinyl packaging.
- Need to make something
- Made me smile: … Mario sweater vest pattern … birds in the brandy – vintage embroidery pattern … snow globe postcards … cat house - very cute …
- BOOKS: … scraps – for collage …
- Made my heart sing … … Did you see Eloole’s vintage felt radio – so very crafty cool …
- 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).
- … More great tutes + crafty ideas to kickstart your year… vintage button heart … origami numbers art … string spool quilt block … chalkboard hangers … envelope purse … instant recycled flowers … sweet forever – valentines project … crayon bunting roll …
Hope the year has started off well – happy crafting!
