I’ll have a quilty post for you tomorrow, but tonight we are going to do another homework assignment from marketing class. Today I'm going to evaluate how the Tampa International Airport is meeting consumer needs through digital media, based on one specific incident. Have you seen the story about the tiger who got loose at … Continue reading Meeting Consumer Needs Through Digital Media
This month my 12 Months of Christmas post with AccuQuilt is all about making a personalized pillowcase. I've made a couple of beautiful pillowcases using some vintage Kaffe Fasset fabric, and I hope the recipient will love them. (Shhh. Don't tell her - it's for my Mom!). You can get all of the info over … Continue reading Making Pillowcases!
Hey, Friends! You are in luck - I’m in a social media marketing class at SNHU. My first assignment is to explore how I consume social media and share it in a blog post. So, once again, you get to read my homework. My Digital Media Day I start most days with a bleary-eyed scroll … Continue reading A Day with Digital Media
**Update. My class did not sell enough seats, so it has been removed from the schedule. It's a little anti-climactic, but sometimes things don't go the way I planned. Hopefully I'll have some in-person classes listed again soon. At a different venue. I am so excited to share my big news! I'll be teaching two … Continue reading I’m Teaching at StitchFest Milwaukee!
I had a lovely conversation with friends today, and we discussed why we need to consider play as a reward. This was from my friend Elizabeth, who is a dangerously deep thinker. Sometimes she pulls me under. I thought I'd write a little bit about my feelings on play, why I don't do enough of … Continue reading Give Yourself Time to Play
I can't believe I haven't shared this project with you guys yet! I have partnered with AccuQuilt this year to do a program I called 12 Months of Christmas Gifts. I'm making some home-made gifts with my favorite project dies. Rather than load all of this ambition into November and making myself weep, I've decided … Continue reading 12 Months of Christmas Gifts
You guys are in for a treat. (I jest.) This semester at SNHU I'm in English 421, New Media: Writing/Publishing. I assumed it was a writing class about social media, but it is actually all about marketing myself and building an author platform. I was feeling pretty smug - I've already got my author platform … Continue reading Writing Class!
Our Florida winter is over. We left last Friday and headed back to our New Jersey home, and I couldn't be more delighted, even though I woke up to snow on my lawn yesterday. What did I do on my first day back? Why, I went into NYC and visited Gotham Quilts, of course! I … Continue reading Visiting Gotham Quilts
I'm working on another wool appliqué piece right now - the pillow version of my Lorelei pattern. It is a fantastic little project, and I love watching it come together. I decided to use my favorite Essex Linen color for the background and it is so pretty. I think everything is better with some Pickle. … Continue reading Getting Started with Wool Appliqué
I started writing an artist statement this week, with the goal of entering my Big Kawandi into art exhibits. After the positive response garnered at QuiltCon, I am curious to see how it is received by the fine arts community. Typically, when I’m making art I find flow and just work. I don’t set out … Continue reading Deep Thoughts on Kawandi
