I took the first day of a quilting class today at Elaine’s Quilting Block here in Salt Lake. Yes, a new beginning for me to really learn the techniques of quilting correctly. I quilted with my mother as a girl, but wasn’t feeling very confident on making one on my own. So I bought new supplies and with my old college sewing machine am cutting, pressing, and sewing away. I figure if I am going to design quilting fabric, I might as well learn how to quilt correctly!
Speaking of, Coquette is currently on sale from Northcott, and I just found out that Love Nest will be on sale in August and hit quilting stores January 2011. I hope to be posting samples of that line soon enough.
I also wanted to let you know that tomorrow’s $1 item at Design House Digital is going to be from me:). Check out these birdie brushes:
Can I also report that it is the loveliest thing to be home with my kids? Siri and I went on her field trip to the Clark Planetarium on Friday with her kindergarten class. The girls and I have made a lot of craft projects and I’m just feeling a lot less stressed out about things in general. And I’ve been able to work on several designs that were only half way finished! That has been a real joy.
Hi there!! wow, I signed up for your illustrator 101 class…I’m embarassed to admit I don’t have cs4 or illustrator on my computer yet….just PSE6. But I KNOW that I want to start designing in Illustrator…..I heard on the video that the svg files are what cricut cartridge images are….I’m wondering if I would be able to design my own custom images in illustrator and using a software program called (Sure cuts a lot) if I could get them to cut on my cricut somehow….I just thought I would ask you since you had mentioned the cricut just briefly…..either way I LOVE the lessons you did an amazing job….I am hoping you do more!!! I would be so happy if I could learn to design my own digi kits someday 🙂 🙂 I would be so proud of myself to say: I did that!!
I am just so in awe of your talent 🙂 🙂 🙂
