Lists of information for readers, who desire resources but don’t necessarily have a great deal of time searching for them, have become increasingly popular. The b5media Arts & Design Channel’s September Showcase fits right into this trend.
William Lehman, at Artist Hideout, has done a great job compiling this round-up. You’ll want to check out these “live […]
Spread word of your quilting and fabric art success. Don’t keep it hidden. You can do this without seeming egotistical…simply let others know wherever appropriate.

You might wonder how this contest applies to quilters and fabric artists. Do you make quilts and have wondered how to go about earning an income from them? Do you write books and instruction manuals?

Utilizing themes, such as the pirate one mentioned in the previous post, Have You Made a Quilt With a Pirate Theme, can help you achieve recognition for your quilt art and for a quilt business (if you’re developing one).
