Kari Chapin recently released the ultimate how-to guide for crafters and artists. It's super cute, and is chock full of info. I love the stories that are included from all the other crafters- it's very motivational and helpful.
How I made it into this book is beyond me, but here's proof:
I can't believe my name is nestled in amongst such superstars as Jenny Ryan, Natalie Zee Drieu, Megan Reardon, and Nicole Vaughan.
Kari's book has an amazing amount of resources for the crafter who is ready to sell her wares. It is chock full of stories from successful sellers, tips on how to price and market your crafts, and how to navigate the online selling world as well as brick and mortar stores. You can get it here.
I haven't had much time to sew in the past week and am itchin' to get into my sewing room to work on this project:
I'm using Film in the Fridge's tutorial on string quilts to make different sized circles of strips of blue and green (and sometimes brown) fabrics. They will be appliqued onto a big quilt, probably a solid white so they pop.
So I'm just using strips of fabric from my scrap stash to sew onto pre-cut circles of paper. When the circles are done you tear off the paper.
I then sew about an 1/8th of an inch in around each circle and gather the thread. This turns the raw edges under to make a nice finished circle. These will then be appliqued onto the quilt.
This may actually take a few months to finish, as I have a tee-shirt quilt to finish up next and some other things. I can't wait to see the final product though!
