A really pretty quilt called Cobblestones. Awesome way to use up scraps! I called it an I Spy quilt for Quilters. I can see several fabrics that I have in my ow...n stash even though this one came clear across the country from a dear friend in BC for quilting. A pretty variegated thread adds a nice touch.

CALL FOR ARTISTS ... #twitterartexhibit in NYC this year ... so this call for artists has been on my radar for a couple of months ... there are no fees, jury or theme ... simply create a postcard (handmade) and mail it in ... the cards go on exhibit with a price tag of $35 and proceeds go to the chosen charity ... Foster's Pride helps girls in foster care learn to create a sell handmade items. <3 ... so this is handmade thing is not something I normally do, but I have supplies and am willing to pay postage. http://twitterartexhibit.org/

... so I am loving my Iong distance course for Illustrator ... I hope I can find used the "Classroom in a Book" for InDesign & Photoshop ... :)
