Don’t think you’ll ever be interviewed? Never say “Never!”
When I was a reporter for our local newspaper and a writer for quilting magazines, I interviewed quite a few quilters, both those who weren’t widely known and others who were Do don’t be surprised if what you’re doing is of interest to a reporter somewhere.
The next question…“What […]
One of my biggest challenges in our multi-generational home is keeping organized for my writing, sewing, fabric art, scrapbooking and many projects. My daughter, also a fabric artist, has her nook that she tries to keep from getting too cluttered.
However, I’ve found some really neat ideas at The Domestic Diva’s Disasters‘ post, Sew Very Organized. […]
Cyndi’s art quilts continue to entrall me. (I must take time in my busy days to try some of her techniques with my scraps.) Over at Layers Upon Layers, Cyndi has two posts you’ll want to check out.

Heather Goldsmith, at A Creative Journal, alerted me to a new magazine, Artful Blogging, published by Stampington & Company that combines blogging and the art world. Blogging has become THE method to get word out there about what you’re doing.
