In case you missed the news, True Up now has a Fabric Design Forum to support the book and hopefully be a community hub for aspiring and working fabric designers worldwide. I’ll periodically post hot topics here so the left arm knows what the right arm is doing. Lots of pretty cool people — including [...]
I’m in Houston at the Fall 2011 International Quilt Market! Right now I’m about to go to Schoolhouse to see some of my favorite designers and companies present their new goods. But, I know I know, you only care about my book, right? The Stash Books über-session is at 1:20 in rooms 361 D&E, and [...]
In case you missed the news, True Up now has a Fabric Design Forum to support the book and hopefully be a community hub for aspiring and working fabric designers worldwide. I’ll periodically post hot topics here so the left arm knows what the right arm is doing. Hot topics in the forum this week [...]
The book is coming very soon! I made forum to serve as its companion, a place to go to ask questions about fabric design, to share your work, to find new resources and inspiration, and to be whatever else it morphs into. Once the book is out I plan to post downloads there, like free [...]
Kimberly of The Fat Quarter Shop invited me to create a Blogger’s Choice Fat Quarter Bundle, and of course I said yes! I have to admit it is something that I’ve always wanted to do. It was inspired by the wonderful, simple, vintage 4- and 9-patch quilt squares like these that you find at flea [...]
Introducing Theodore Jones Kight, born Monday, July 18, 2011, at 1:52pm, and weighing in at 9 lbs, 10 oz. The delivery was such a cinch compared to our first that I’m still a bit shocked by it all! We got home Tuesday evening and have started our transition to being a family of four. Theo [...]
I’d love to know your thoughts on this. I love all the modern (and especially hand-printed) tea towels, cushions, and other home textiles out there but have always waffled about featuring them here. What do you think? Are these products just fabric with hems, or would I be diluting my “all fabric, all the time” [...]
Three years ago today, I published my first post on True Up. The site has grown by leaps and bounds since then, the fabric industry has changed dramatically, and amazingly I haven’t run out of topics yet — not by a longshot! It is definitely a challenge to post daily M-F (and to hold myself [...]
Oops, I’m a day late for the month-long Celebrate the Boy fest hostessed by Rae and Dana. But, of course, if you have a boy, celebrating them is a 24-7 thing. I’m destined for a lifetime of all-boy, all the time celebration — that is boy #2 waving at you up there! I’m 23 weeks [...]
Allrighty, this isn’t scientific, but here are the top 10 most-trafficked posts from this year. I didn’t include giveaways, because they would have taken up all the spots! Thanks to everyone for reading, commenting, and spreading the word this year — I am so grateful for your support and enthusiasm for what we’re doing here. [...]
Oh boy, friends. I am SO out of it and overwhelmed — lately my life has been eaten by a bighugesecret project, on top of Quilt Market coverage. (My last official Fall Quilt Market post was on Friday, though I still have a few amazing, just less time-sensitive, things to share, and booty to give [...]
Stomach virus. I’ll try to catch up with the quilt market coverage and sale alert posts this weekend.
Hi all! 1. I’ve been on away on vacation for the last few days, and thought I’d be able to do the Sale Alerts, but no dice, so I’ll be posting them this week on Sunday instead. Shops, feel free to send them in through Sunday morning. 2. Mysteriously, the comments on the Dream On [...]
New Release Tuesday will be on Wednesday this week because I spent most of my day yesterday battling HACKERS! True Up was hit by the so-called WordPress Pharma Hack. I happened to ego-surf on Google and was horrified to see that instead of True Up the link to my site was replaced with online pharmacy [...]
Hi all — images got stripped from the feed somehow today as I was experimenting with a new social bookmarking link plugin. The images should be restored now. Don’t worry, the change was neither intentional nor permanent! Also, I heard from a reader that if you click over from the feed to comment, you see [...]
