I'm thinking maybe a pouch. I'd really like to do a pillow, but I do not own a pillow form therefore, I would have to go out and buy one and that would be breaking rule 2 of the sew-a-long, which is "Use what you have".
Monday, May 6th is Giveaway Day at Sew, Mama, Sew! and I am seriously contemplating the idea of possibly considering the prospect of maybe pondering over the idea of participating as a giveaway-er. I know that I entered giveaways like a crazy woman the last Giveaway Day and even though I didn't win anything, I found a lot of great blogs. And therein, as they say, lies the rub. This is not a great blog. I have no beautiful design aesthetics, no tutorial pages, no finished quilts eye candy, which is what I love to see in other blogs. I am not throwing a pity party for myself, but I am being realistic. I know that I am the one who controls what this blog looks like and what the contents are and I just don't think it's anywhere near where I would want it to be before I invite the masses in to look around. I think I'm not going to participate this round and will make it my goal to have this blog in shape for the next time. Sound good?
I think the fabric you have selected for your pouch is beautiful, and is enough eye candy for people to be interested in your blog :-)
ReplyDeleteGiveaway day has certainly become a BIG BLOG THING...but I think that there is a lot of value in blogging as a record and as a conversation--whether or not you feel you're up to the current design aesthetics. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you chose for the sew along, which, by the way, is how I discovered your blog. I'll be interested to see what you make!
Thanks Laura! I agree with you that the inherent value in blogging is to serve as a record of one's thoughts and creations and to share these with others. I want to have a forum for those things that reflects my best efforts.
