I Have A New "Dress"...

Well? What do you think? My new dress design is complete and Karen (my blog heroine) uploaded it today. You may have noticed that I kept my same header. I want to be able to change that element out from time to time, rather than have a different one forever. I also love that my typeface is larger. It makes it easier to read, don't you agree? I really like the way everything turned out...especially my sweet acorns! Do you love my new look? Is is me?

You can click on Karen's image above to go to her design website. She offers a lot of different service, from the tiny favicon in my url box (the little acorn replaces the Blogger "B"), to the little elements that now appear between my posts. Have fun shopping! I'm sure you're going to find something you need to have for your blog. Thank you, Karen!!!
My "Charmed, I'm Sure" quilt is finished. I added the binding yesterday, and sewed my custom label on the back.
I use a washable cotton fabric for my labels. Mine were purchased through Blick Art Materials website (here) and made sure I got the cotton that could be washed. No quilt is truly finished until you sew the label on it. Now, off to finish my lavender "Faerie Glen" quilt!

I haven't finished loading the rest of the tutorial into my Flickr album yet. I think I took close to 30 photos to help show how I apply the binding, but I promise to do it today! Hope you accomplish something creative today.

Where Bloggers Create II Party...

It's time for me to start sorting, primping, cleaning and
decorating my studio again. Where Bloggers Create II is
just around the corner, and I'll be joining in the fun for a second year.

Our hostess, Karen Valentine of My Desert Cottage, was
just published in the latest edition of
Where Women Create
and
she's also the owner of
Valentine Design
which is a fabulous design service for bloggers.

So, mark your calendar for June 19th, and
plan to attend the huge celebration of bloggers
all over the globe. This party promises to be huge,
and I guarantee you'll be inspired by all the creative spaces
you'll be able to visit courtesy of Karen and the
Where Bloggers Create II party!

I've gotta run. I have lots to do just to get ready.
See you there!
