Whip Up - Guest Series 2012

I'm chuffed to be participating in the Guest Series 2012 over at Whip Up.

From Whip Up:

Guest series 2012: I asked fellow bloggers, makers and creators to write on their creativity and focus their essay on one of four topics: creativity and health, creativity and business, creativity and parenting or creativity and process. I am very excited to have a wonderful lot of fellow creative folk guest posting here at whipup.net over the next couple of months.

Tutorial - How to Make a Pouch for your Electronic Gadget

I'm super excited that this tutorial is on Whip Up today - a huge thankyou to Kathreen for inviting me to contribute to the Guest Blogger Series!

My sister recently bought me an eReader so I desperately need to Whip Up an eReader Pouch, using one of the original testing samples (in a larger scale) of my Go Granny fabric.

The tutorial explains how to measure your very own eGadget to make a pouch that fits perfectly.

If you'd like to make your very own, using my Go Granny fabric (tip: all those lines make it really easy to sew in a straight line), then pop over here to the shop.

Oh, and if you do make something lovely using Go Granny, then please upload your photos to Flickr and join the Go Granny group!

65 Roses Community Quilt via Whip Up

My little square

Do you remember a while back when Kathreen from Whip Up put a call out for crafters to get involved in making a quilt square for the 65 Roses Community Quilt?

I jumped at the chance with this lovely girl in mind...

Kathreen collected squares from all over the world, put them together, and made this extraordianary quilt. She explains all of the wonderful details in her post on Whip Up.

The quilt will be auctioned at an upcoming gala event for The Australian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with the proceeds going directly to CF research.

I love it when I get to craft for such a great cause!

PS - Thanks to everyone who left lovely messages yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't have my email set up properly on the new blog, so I couldn't reply directly to everyone!

Joining In

I saw this post over at Whip Up, and even though I'd told myself that I couldn't possibly take on anything else at the moment, I can't resist, as this is a project to assist a cause that is very close to my heart.


Please join in if you can - all you need to do is to contribute a quilt square for a 65 roses quilt which will be auctioned at the Cystic Fibrosis Australia Charity Gala next year.
