dear diary 2010: week 1
There’s a new blog in my life. It doesn’t run on WordPress or Blogger, and has no URL. I don’t need a PC, a Mac, or even an internet connection for uploading to my new blog.
It’s my Dear Diary 2010 journal and I post every day with my Zig pigment pens.
But unless you happen to meet me in the street (or maybe at Road to California later this month) you might never get to read it. I promise to give you updates here every now and then.
Dear Diary 2010 is coming along quite well. I’m still working out a few kinks in the program, such as: maybe it’s not the most realistic expectation to design, create, and quilt a new block each and every single night when you get started around 10 or 11 pm. I can definitely design it and at least fuse or piece each one daily though. As long as I don’t skip any days I’ll be able to catch up.
None of them are quilted yet because I’m still deciding how I want to quilt them. I’m leaning towards hand quilting around the edges with big-stitch quilting with top-stitching thread. (I really love the look of bold hand stitches, and the 4-inch blocks are great for taking along.) Once they’re quilted I’m going to connect them with E seed beads.
Here are my first week’s blocks:
Stay tuned for more!
happy blogiversary to me!
It’s my blogiversary so I’m celebrating with a new look! My new header wouldn’t go in, so I improvised with a revised subhead below the one that came with the template. Can it be a year already?
