Hello March
Just a quick hello to say that March entered like a lamb in the Houston/Galveston area today. It was a little overcast but still the high was around 80 degrees with 100% humidity. Gotta love it!
Instagram Challenges
So, while taking a quick break in my hammock under the tiki hut after lunch I was scrolling through Instagram and found two fun challenges that started today. First #IGQuiltFest by Amy Ellis. This one is going to be fun to see what other quilters will have to share. Here’s the schedule for posting each day.
The second one I discovered is #marchmeetthemakers by Joanne Hawker. The purpose of this is for small businesses to tell the story behind their brand…this one is going to be more of a challenge because I don’t have an Etsy shop as I think most participants will. Who knows, maybe later I will!
I introduced myself on Instagram as a longarm quilter, quilter, quilting teacher, the maker of t-shirt and memory quilts, Island Batik Ambassador as well as mentioning my love of riding my bike near the Galveston Bay.
Anyone can join in – whether following or participating! You can find me on Instagram as The Quilt Rambler.
Island Batik Ambassador Challenge
This is the really exciting news!
The March challenge for the Island Batik Ambassadors is “March Mini Madness” and it involves “Foundation or English Paper Piecing, 24 x 24 or smaller.”
A tall order for this traditional piecer who loves rulers and such…. I’ve been working on my project off and on for a few weeks and can’t wait to show you – hopefully by the weekend.
