Lancaster show

Hello everyone. I ran away to the Lancaster,PA show on Saturday. It is a 2 3/4 hour drive for me from MD. I saw Cheryl's quilt and it was wonderful. The itty bitty sheep were my favorite part and the embroidery on the weeping willows. Cheryl, I am a huge fan.
I finished Pat's page and mailed it off to Ellen. I have a pic of it, but do not know how to transfer it from an email to this blog. I am so techno dumb. I received Jean's book. I will tackle it in a few days.
This is fun.

Book Has Arrived

Yay! I received Ellen's virgin book yesterday. I can't wait to get started. I have so many ideas floating around in my head.

Since I am a newbie to altered books, please share with me wether you are making a mini-quilt, just layering fabric or using paper. I could use some input.

Having Fun

I got Pat's book on Monday. I am trying to finish the page and send it off. It is so much fun. I did not know Shawna was out. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Ducking out

Hi All
I am sorry but I am really not going to have time to be part of this. I thought I had the time but I haven't even been able to get a book to mail out to Cheryl. And now I am coming down with a cold on top of all the busyness. I apologize again for ducking out.

I Got Mine Today!

Hello altered book enthusiasts!! I got my book from Cheryl today. It took 4 days for it to arrive from Pennsylvania. Mail is soooo slow around here. I could've driven up to Cheryl's and picked it up in this amount of time. My mailman must really enjoy reading my stuff. Well, off to get some ideas together.

Post Away

Cheryl asked about posting other stuff. Please! This will be our blog, I hope, long after the challenge is done and on to the next challenge. So, even people not participating in this challenge can post stuff.

To help, as posts start accumulating, if you remember (I don't always), put "altered book" in the label for posts that pertain to the current challenge. (The label box is below the main text box when posting.) That way, we can search and see all the altered book posts at one time if we want.

Also, there's a way to subscribe so that you are notified when there's a new post to the blog. I'll figure that out and let you know how to do that. That way, you don't have to keep checking....

I know if you are already using an RSS or news reader, you can add the blog to that. If that means nothing to you, never mind.

Willoway, A Folk Art Farm


Is it Ok to post stuff here other than our altered books? Please let me know if I have created a faux pas. But, here is the photo for the quilt Jan saw written up. The ribbon was from QuiltFest in NJ. The next stop is Lancaster. Anyone going to that?
Lynda - You should have received my book by now. Is April 1st the deadline to pass it along?
