Wow. The bird seed bag also helped to bump up my number of followers faster than expected (and I want to be clear, that is NOT a complaint) so I've had to resort my project urgency list so that I could focus on my 100 follower giveaway... we're not there yet, but it's definitely within reach. Here's a sneak peek.
I also FINALLY started an art quilt. No more talking about it, I just jumped in.
Not much to look at yet, but you've got to start somewhere, right? And I had fun learning how to use my printer to print onto fabric - way easier than I thought.
I also had a lovely follower ask me for a copy of one of my quilt patterns, Wright's Windows. Which is awesome and flattering, but somehow I have to turn this...
... into a legible quilt pattern that someone other than my math-loving self can understand. It'll be a good exercise for me.
Also made some progress on my Quilts of Valor project...
And then there's this...
"What's THAT?" you ask? THAT is a pile of textbooks, my friends. I start my masters in Urban Planning this coming week and am scared to death about it. Silly, I know, but just look at those books, invading my craft room, looming over my fabric, pushing aside my iron...
So, again, big week for Craftopotamus. And if you're a regular reader that hasn't actually clicked the "follow" button yet... come on in, the water's fine... :)

Goodness. Text books should never be allowed in a craft room! Here is to a great start to your masters!!!!
PS - all the pics of your quilts in progress are great!
Love the picture of your quilt pattern book. The math looks like fun...as long as it isn't calc.
Best of luck at orientation and in school.
Congrats on your features for your bird seed bag!! It's totally adorable-I love it!

Hi Cecily! I saw your link on NFF and thought I'd stop back over and made sure I'd followed the other day - but apparently I didn't. So I'm correcting that now! ;) I can't wait to see what you do with your quilt!!
Hey! I saw your link on NFF. I love your blog! I love to craft! So, we're going to be fast friends!
Your quilts of Valor quilt is very pretty; but the art quilt looks like it is going to be a monstrous amount of work. I hope it turns out well. Visiting you from New Friend Fridays. Hope yours was a great one! Stop by for a visit some time. Following you now.

Hiya, I wish you all the best with your upcoming school studies! :D
People ask me for patterns all the time too and I say no for the same reason. I have a method to my maddness but I am quite sure I could never begin to explain it to anyone else. ha.
AKKK! Those text books need another home. Don't let them invade the fabric. They can live on the back patio. Or the car (as the go to the library). ANYTHING BUT THE FABRIC !!!!
