January Cornucopia

 

Specially for You

love and be lovable

A photo of a mug at a cafe in Hong Kong taken in February 2014, what a translation, huh?

Here, "Specially for You" is a cornucopia post containing some of the things I've read, listened to, enjoyed, etc. over the last month. Hope you find something you enjoy or find interesting.

Great interview with Natalie Chanin about her new book "Embroidery: Threads & Stories from Alabama Chanin and the School of Making"

More embroidery, this time from a cartoonist I've always enjoyed, Roz Chast. They even show the back of one of her intense embroidery images, which is awesome to get to see, kind of rare really.

There's a free modern 15 12" quilt block design What Is Love? that's available on the first of February.

This table runner design is really pretty,   Abundant Blooms.

Another couple of free sew-a-longs including videos happening in February from Jaybird Quilts using their new Fussy Cut rulers for their two patterns Rock Candy and Candy Dish.

Abstract art did not begin with Paul Cézanne or Pablo Picasso, a more comprehensive way to think about the totality of human artistic expression. So many of the paintings are representations of quilt patterns which is not mentioned in the article.

Seven ways to use up your crumbs to avoid making Mt. Scrapmore any larger than it is.

Some tips on creating video content for fiber artists.

Artificially Intelligent Art (or is it?)

A different sort of journalling suggested by an IFS(Internal Family Systems) therapist, having a conversation between your parts. I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds like it might be super helpful.
