Sewn Spaces Swap (SSS)

I have become, I think, a swapaholic...finding a spot to invite challenges, meet new people, and spend time (that I crave) in the studio.

My assignment for the Sewn Spaces Swap, create a needle case (never made one of before) for my swap partner (SP). Check out my SP's Flickr pages, web pages and determine her likes and dislikes...and then to create... Stressful moments....

Click here to check out my mosaic, see the needle book journey and

perhaps (in the near future) find a tutorial. .....................

DQS 11 (That is... Doll Quilt Swap on Flicker )

Again, I find myself in the many many days since I found a moment to blog. The first few weeks of my modified summer vacation have always been filled with family, finishing leftover things from winter, setting up summer programs for students......BUT....this year has been extremely busy with family issues and house nightmares. I found a little creativity peaking through by joining several of the Flicker Swap Groups.... Check out the button on the right......DQS11...This is a very active, creative and outrageously talented pool of quilters. The group focuses on small, no larger than 18" X 18" (9"X9") quilts... They set up theme, develop a set of structured rules and then open the sign ups to join in the swap..... I was so excited when a swap partner Flicker Mail was sent to my lowly address...
I will be Blogging, I know a bit late, about my journey as I learn more about my DQSP( Doll Quilt Swap Partner)...
