Slow Blogging.... from Val's Quilting Studio

Ugh! I'm such a "slow blogger" these days and can't seem to find my ol' blogging "mojo".

In reflection, much of my time seems to be consumed with other areas of life as hubs and I enjoy exploring this new, simplified lifestyle we've created together. Unfortunately, this

doesn't leave me with anything crafty to really share with you here on the ol' blog.

So as I'm off enjoying this new chapter we find ourselves in and if you are new to my blog, I welcome you to take a look around by clicking on my ...

Coping During The Pandemic from Where Art & Life Meet

Since launching my YouTube Channel Ariane Zurcher ~ On the Other Hand on February 20th, I have gained close to 550 subscribers! Much of this is due to the enthusiasm shown to me by the members of the private FaceBook group, Friends Who Like Sue Spargo Folk Art Quilts (thank you everyone!) and my friend… Continue reading Coping During The Pandemic

YouTube, Blogging, Stitching & Life from Where Art & Life Meet

Things have been busy around here. I had the idea to start a YouTube channel over a year ago. My thought was to go through Sue Spargo’s Creative Stitching book and demonstrate every stitch (but for left-handed stitchers) featured in her book, one stitch a week. I discussed my idea with Anna Bates, my friend… Continue reading YouTube, Blogging, Stitching & Life

Happy New Year 2020 and New Blogging Goals! from Christa Quilts

It’s been a few years since I actually sat down and wrote some business goals. But finally feel like I’m catching up and have actually had time to think and plan again, LOL! One thing has really stuck out at me lately, and that’s how much I enjoy blogging (and sharing pretty quilt pics)!

Here’s a recent quilt finish you may have missed.
It’s called Surplus Strips made from leftovers or precut strips.

I’ve written several times over the past year about how I’m trying to nail down this social media stuff. I ...

top nine / one quilt from Charm About You

The year of colour site is an interesting tool that assesses the dominant colours used in your instagram photos. You can play with the sliders to adjust the pixels and brightness etc. and it's cool to see which colours it picks out. I have seen a lot of them pop up on other peoples feeds and they are all so different. Mine was a bit of a surprise, I know I've used brown a lot but I did think they'd be more pink and less blue. I guess it doesn't feel completely 'me' but then as ...

Goodbye 2019! My Year in Review from The Inquiring Quilter

2019 is coming to an end and I thought I’d take a look back at the year and all I accomplished.

Year 3 as an Island Batik Ambassador

2019 was my third year as an Island Batik Ambassador, and man did I have fun! I love the batiks of course, but most of all I love monthly challenges because they take me to new places. The challenges push my creativity and my designs while also increasing my quilting techniques.

Reason #1 from Nestlings By Robin

MUSH BRAIN!

I can't be the only one who suffers

from 'mush brain'!

You know the feeling when you go to

bed the night before and visions of your

planned awesomeness-for-tomorrow dance

in your head; but then, tomorrow morning

comes and you know there just won't be

enough coffee to energize that brain.

My work deadline/travel schedule this past

4 months have had me coming and going

with mostly 2-3 day turnarounds at my home.

This means that now that I am home,

my brain has gone on strike but

the work deadlines aren't done ...

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED from Nestlings By Robin

HELLO DECEMBER!

Now let's be clear that just because I have

accepted the challenge again this year, doesn't

mean I will accomplish it but without trying we

never know what we can do! So, here we go again:)

Cheryl Sleboda of Muppin.com challenges

us every year to get our blogs back in order.

If we can do it when we are the busiest

then we have no excuse the rest of the year-HA.

That should be my series of posts this month....

reason #1 not to blog....reason #2 not to blog, etc.

Wonder if I can ...

I have been working like crazy for the past few days! This month has been super busy! But I am seeing my months ahead get busier! And good kind of busier!
