CQ Gatherings - Winter Issue

It's out, it's out!!!! I bought my copy of the Winter Issue yesterday during the Cyber Monday sale. In fact, this is the only thing I bought (except for coffee and milk) for Cyber Monday but at least I made my contribution, right?


Now all I have to do is WAIT, WAIT, WAIT for it to arrive.....

Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

Free Doll Pattern

I felt like I had gotten enough 'need to do' stuff done today so I've been surfing a bit around my computer. You know, looking at all the things that we save? All the possible, one day, maybe type projects and links we save? Or am I the only one who does that? I DOUBT IT! LOL.

Anyway, I came across a folder of free doll patterns that I've saved over time and remembered that, "I made that doll!" See post here. Notice that it was 5 Years ago! Good grief, where does the time go???? There are better photos here. I didn't win any prizes for my doll but I did enjoy the challenge very much. And I guess, technically, I can say that I've been published in the DOLL MAKING WORLD (VBG - realizing that anyone who really makes dolls is rolling their eyes and saying, "Paleez!"

Here's the link to the pattern offered by Shashi on her blog. She also offers a wonderful wing tutorial that could be really fun to incorporate into a crazy quilt block. Thank you very much, Shashi for your generosity!



Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!

Crazy Quilt Journal Project 2012

Well, as difficult as it is (lately) for me to commit to anything, I have taken the plunge and registered for the CQJP 2012 challenge.

It's a year long, personal challenge to create (and hopefully complete) a crazy quilt project. And considering that it's almost December and I never got around to making the tree skirt I had planned to make last year, I'm hoping that I'll have the motivation to see it done this time next year!

There are minimal rules/requirements involved. A blog has also been set up with links to participants' blogs so that you can follow along with everyone's progress, see lots of eye candy, ask questions, etc. Best of all, it's a fabulous way to get the word out about Crazy Quilting!




So, if you've been looking for a some motivation and/or a new project, please pop on over, check it out, and JOIN IN.


Until Next time...Happy Needling!!!
