Quilt Art website and mailing list

For those interested in Quilt Art you can subscribe to a QuiltArt mailing list. Here is the link to the web site. This is not a blog, it is all via email. It is free but they do accept donations to help defray the costs to keep it up and running. It is a great group of talented, sharing artists. Here is the info if you are interested in joining.

In the short time I have been subscribed to this list (I am on digest because they are a prolific group) I have made new contacts, and more importantly learned so much from some of the best artists there are.

All things Quilty

That is what this blog is suppose to be about. I also include tidbits about my family. I belong to a number of lists. The QuiltArt list has a few posts about quilting cars. As I followed the links I found this about a woman who created a quilt on her car using nail polish. I don't believe I would be brave enough to do that. My mom taught me to think about resale value and my car is not an older car that I could do this to. It actually gives me the shivers to think about it. I do like the idea of the car wrap better - no damage to the car paint. I am really intrigued with the idea of wrapping my car in a "quilt" but suspect it would be quite expensive. I am not affiliated with this company and don't know anything about them but it gives you an idea what I'm talking about.

New Friends

Today has been a busy one. Trying to complete items for Christmas, listening to audiobooks and meeting new friends from the QuiltArt list. Most of us have blogs and there have been discussions on the list regarding how to promote ones self during this down turn in the economy. As I have linked to all these talented people's blogs I discovered that many of them aren't promoting themselves through their own blogs. I have gotten to "speak" via email with several artists today. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to share with so many, so quickly. I hope I have made some new friends today. I look forward to seeing their new posts now that I am able to subscribe to their blogs.
I am including a picture of my Husband's that makes me happy. I hope you enjoy.
