fabric

I played with fabric last weekend... I started my doll quilt for the second round of the Doll Quilt Swap. So far it has been fun, but I must admit that I'm slightly intimidated. There are some doll quilt heavy hitters in this swap! I feel like I'm in a bit over my head, truth be told. But I'm loving the fabrics that I'm working with, and I'm keeping optimistic!

 

This is the same photo, just "auto adjusted." The top photo looks better on our MacBook and the bottom one looks better on my PC... Click on either photo to see more fabric photos in my Flickr set.

Ravelry

I'm sure by now you've heard of the new best thing since sliced Web 2.0... Ravelry. If you haven't checked it out yet, I urge you to do so. It is A-May-Zing. i think that they're still in beta testing mode, but I also think that there is a sign-up to be notified when they go live.

Ravelry is a place where individual knitters can keep information about which yarns are in their stash, which projects are in their queue, and which patterns they've recently completed, among several other things. All of this information is posted for other knitters to view, and the resulting conglomeration can be used in a zillion different ways. You can search for a pattern to match your yarn or gauge. You can find knitters who are working on the same project so you can work through issues together. you can find knitters that are in your area so you can get together. There's a lot more, too, but I'll let you look for yourself.

My goal for this weekend is to conduct a little (?) stash inventory, photos and all. That may mean that I'll have a little de-stashing sale on the ole blog sometime in the near future. I'm sure that I have some treasures that I'll never get to, but that can find a loving home with someone else. Maybe with you?

Doll Quilt Swap - round two

There's still time to join the second round of the doll quilt swap. Go to the swap's website to sign up before June 17th.

I'm hoping to receive something that I can hang in my studio for inspiration. I love the idea from Wee Wonderfuls of making several and using them to decorate a room. I haven't made any doll-sized quilts, yet. But I'm excited to get started!
