I'm still changing, still evolving, still growing!My process for setting goals for 2018 provided time to reflect. Highlights of what I've decided to do:<br />
<br />
<b>SewCalGal</b> was where I originally started blogging, with a focus on those "in the business", where I researched and shared insights about new products, designers, teachers, authors, events, etc.. Some of the content is still helpful, so I unarchived SewCalGal's historical post, allowing them to be viewable. But I do not plan to post future updates on this blog.<br />
<br />
<b>QuiltShopGal</b> was created as SewCalGal grew and when I purchased the domain name, I moved to a self hosted blog. Unfortunately the costs for me, given I don't make money off of blogging, negatively impacted by own quilting budget and I needed to find a way to minimize expenses of being a blogger, if I am to continue. Thus, early 2018 QuiltShopGal.com moved to a free wordpress blog and can now be found at <a href="http://www.quiltshopgal2.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">www.quiltshopgal2.wordpress.com </a><br />
<br />
<b>Creative Latitude Time </b>was created as followers asked me to share what I was up to personally. While I don't think I live an exciting creative life, I created a blog where I periodically share what I'm up to. These are easy posts, where I don't research to share insights, nor do I create something to share insights about a particular designer. It is a place where I simply share what I create, thru a variety of creative projects. You can find this blog at: <a href="http://creative-latitude.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://creative-latitude.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
I hope you'll follow me at <a href="http://www.quiltshopgal2.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">QuiltShopGal </a>and <a href="http://creative-latitude.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Creative Latitude Time</a>.<br />

This video definitely captures #SweetGoodness with his delight over the cute quilt that Juanita made using a free pattern from FatCat Patterns called "<a href="http://sindyrodenmayer.com/free-patterns/toddler-patterns/" target="_blank">Dinorawr</a>". Unfortunately I can't embed this video in this post, but I want to encourage everyone to click thru and watch the sweet video Juanita shared. I think you'll also smile with delight of #SweetGoodness from watching it: </span></span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">The theme for the party this week is #FamilyGoodness. And I certainly hope everyone will share some #CreativeGoodness this week, that works with this theme. Open your door to imagination and creativity. Maybe ask your family for recommendations on what you should share. I bet many of you will quickly realize you have oodles of things to share, as well as to inspire others too! Still, I've listed a few items below that are hope to get creative individuals, that might be stumped, thinking about things they could share for the theme this week.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Our weekly parties are all about creativity, of all forms, where bloggers and non-bloggers are invited to link up and share what they have created, to inspire others. Any form of creating is welcome so long as you created it, which includes something you designed, created from a free or purchased pattern, recipes, DIY, etc.. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br />Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a "#FamilyGoodness" theme to share in this linky party. But the theme is pretty flexible, as it is your opinion of what is sweet goodness. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated, as we hope to inspire others to create goodness and joy!</span><br />

<blockquote style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">To join the party, simply click the linky tool below and follow the steps to add the url to your blog post or picture in the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Flickr Group.</a> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. And, while not required, it is certainly appreciated when bloggers share a new post that they let others know they are joining this linky party and encourage others to join the fun too! After all, the more people sharing #CreativeGoodness the more fun we'll all have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a <span style="line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></blockquote>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br /><b>Next week, our theme for next week is #NewGoodness </b><span style="line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">. The next Linky Party will be posted on Friday, January 6th I hope you will join the fun and share with us what #NewGoodness means to you and how it may inspire your creativity. It might be a new creative tool, book, dvd or class you received for Christmas, a new item someone made for you or you made for someone else, but for many it may be a new tip or trick that you might want to share by way of a tutorial to help others.. What ever you wish to share that you feel aligns with this theme and you want to share to inspire others is welcome.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll confess I got a late start on my baking this year. I do enjoy holiday baking and sharing with family and friends, especially those that may be unable to do any baking of their own. While I'm still doing more baking today, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite and easiest recipes that I like to make during the holidays:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Years ago I fell in love with the Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie recipe, that is on the package for dried cranberries (Craisins Brand). The recipe "as is" is excellent, but I have made a few changes:</span><br />

Jalepeno Artichoke dip is a tasty and versatile snack that is good served with crackers cold, or as a hot dip. I like applying it to a Boboli Pizza crust and baking for a yummy appetizer. When in a hurry this also works for purchased Jalepeno Artichoke dip, but this is the recipe I've been using to make my own dip (spread on a Boboli).</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As a frugal quilter I do try to take advantage of steals and deals, when I can. And, as a blogger, I also enjoy sharing such deals with you. But sometimes I come across them, when I already have something else planned to share. Thus, earlier in 2014, I launched <a href="http://www.fingertipshopping.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Fingertip Shopping</a> where I only blog when I come across a good sale that might be of interest. If you are also a frugal quilter (or crafter) you may want to follow Fingertip Shopping. I know many have taken advantage of my annual research for #BlackFriday or #CyberMonday sales, as well as various steals and deals that I share throughout the year. Of course, I also try to share these on <a href="https://twitter.com/SewCalGal" target="_blank">twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sewcalgal/319046298197853" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, but I sometimes barely have enough time to blog about them, so the best way to find out about such deals is to follow Fingertip Shopping!</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8411595613982595288" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 610px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Speaking of such steals and deals, did you know the Fat Quarter Shop had a 50% off Aurifil sale yesterday? Yeap, I shared it on Twitter and Facebook, but as it was a Flash Sale for only one day I didn't have time to blog about it. (sorry).</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8411595613982595288" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 610px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today I wanted to share a sneak peak with you on the 2015 Free-Motion Quilting Challenge. And as this sneak peak pertains to Craftsy, I also wanted to share with you insights on their Best of 2014 Sale that is going on thru December 25th. Plus, don't overlook that you can also purchase a class for a gift!</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8411595613982595288" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 610px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you participated in the 2012 or 2013 FMQ Challenge, you are familiar that every month I released a new tutorial and challenge. Those tutorials are still available and many will be incorporated into the 2015 FMQ Challenge. Starting January lst, each month a challenge will be released and they'll be five ways to participate where you can learn and/or improve your FMQ skills, have fun, and enter to win prizes. You can complete one of the five options, or all five. The more you complete the more entries you'll get to win prizes. And, all of the options will result in making a pillow that incorporates a specific FMQ challenge. So you'll end up with beautiful pillows to decorate your home or give away as gifts.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8411595613982595288" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 610px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While many of these monthly challenges will incorporate free tutorials from the 2012 or 2013 FMQ Challenges, some will incorporate options of using DVDs or books from FMQ Experts, and some will incorporate classes, specifically classes from Craftsy that are taught by FMQ Experts! If you have already taken FMQ Classes at Craftsy you know how wonderful these classes are and that they can be flexible for you to complete at your liesure and repeat as often as you like.</span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8411595613982595288" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 610px;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have not yet taken a FMQ class with Craftsy, or maybe you want to take more classes this year, today is a great day to sign up as ALL Craftsy classes are offered at the best sales price that they've ever been offered in 2014! Of course, they also have a great deal on fabrics and notions, including Aurifil thread.</span></div>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While SewCalGal recommends Craftsy in general, for those interested in participating in the 2015 FMQ Challenge you may want to consider taking any/all of the FMQ classes on Craftsy, particularly classes taught by: <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Cindy Needham, Leah Day, Patsy Thompson, Angela Walters, Christina Cameli, but I'm sure you'll have fun learning and creating by taking any class on Craftsy.</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Full Disclosure: I am an Affiliate with Craftsy. I signed up after seeing the excellent value and benefits of taking classes at Craftsy. When someone clicks thru my site to purchase a class, fabric or notion you pay the same price as if you had visited the Craftsy site directly, or clicked thru from another Affiliates' site. Affiliates receive a small % back and I use those funds towards supplementing shipping costs for when I pay to ship prizes to winners of contests and giveaways I host. These funds do not cover all my shipping expenses, but are appreciated. To clarify, those that remember to click from my blog to Craftsy, when purchasing a class, fabric, or notion are what I view as "Postage Angels" as they help to pay for postage for those that win prizes from this blog. And, they allow me to keep hosting such events. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Our weekly parties are all about creativity, of all forms, where bloggers and non-bloggers are invited to link up and share what they have created, to inspire others. Any form of creating is welcome so long as you created it, which includes something you designed, created from a free or purchased pattern, recipes, DIY, etc.. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br />Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a "#SweetGoodness" theme to share in this linky party. But the theme is pretty flexible, as it is your opinion of what is sweet goodness. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated, as we hope to inspire others to create goodness and joy!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">Also, as next Monday SewCalGal is hosting a Holiday Blog Blitz where participants will be sharing a favorite holiday recipe, you may want to consider sharing your favorite recipe through this #SweetGoodness linky party. But then, there truly are all forms of #CreativeGoodness that result in sweet goodness, besides yummy recipes. There are yummy paper crafts, yummy jewelry, yummy quilts and so many more sweet creative projects. What will you be sharing to inspire others with ?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a <span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cindy Needham has designed many quilting stencils, over the years and has just released her newest stencil called "<a href="http://www.cindyneedham.com/ultimate_stencil.html" target="_blank">The Ultimate Stencil</a>". This is technically a set which includes a </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">circle and square stencil. The set comes with Master Grids printed on paper that you are encouraged to make copies of and use to plan out endless design possibilities.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This new stencil set is perfect for wholecloth quilting, as well as for pieced blocks. While the stencils are 14", Cindy also shares how you can easily adapt these stencils for larger designs. One is a circular stencil and the other is square, but they line up well should you want to create a design with both a circle and square combination!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SewCalGal thinks The Ultimate Stencil is going to be very popular with those interested in free-motion quilting, as it is a perfect tool for beginners as well as experienced quilters and the design possibilities are endless. And the price is extremely reasonable! You can <a href="http://cindyneedham.com/ultimate_stencil.html" target="_blank">order online directly from Cindy.</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cindy has also created a two book set which SewCalGal highly recommends: <a href="http://www.cindyneedham.com/ultimate_stencil.html" target="_blank">Oldies But Goodies ~ New and Improved</a>.</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><i>Oldies But Goodies</i></b> contains 230+ pages, organized in chapters by Blocks, Borders, Fans, Corners, and Wholecloth Medallions. Also included are sections for Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Stencils, Cindy's "My Design Tools", Transferring Designs, Making Borders Fit and Laying Out a Wholecloth Quilt and much, much, much more! Cindy calls this book Oldies But Goodies as they focus on older designs and things that she did years ago, but this book is still packed with great information.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><b>New and Improved </b></i> contains 100+ pages and focuses on what Cindy classifies as better and improved designs. It was while working on this book that Cindy came up with the idea of the Ultimate Stencil and she has included many design ideas for this new stencil set in this new ebook that is packed with inspirational design ideas that you can use on your projects, or adapt to make a unique design. This book shows you how to apply this stencil to blocks and corners, for wholecloth or pieced block designs. But, the possibilities are endless for The Ultimate Stencil! #Quiltlove, #StencilLove, #CindyNeedhamGoodness - SewCalGal loves The Ultimate Stencil!</span></blockquote>

Her handmade projects are gifts of love and certainly treasured by the lucky recipients. Wanting to promote making handmade items for Christmas, I hosted the monthly challenges. It was fun to see what the participants made and many are ready to give a variety of handmade gifts for Christmas, as well as enjoy new decorations for the season. As this event is now over, today I'm delighted to announce all of the lucky winners of prizes generous donated by sponsors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thank you for everyone who shared their favorite HolidayGoodness projects and inspired others, as well as to those of you who shared tutorials. Today I'm delighted to showcase one of the participants that shared an inspirational project with us. Leslie McNeil @ MarveLes Art Studio <a href="http://marvelesartstudios.blogspot.com/2014/11/red-and-white-snowflakes-placemats.html" target="_blank">shared insights on beautiful handmade holiday style placemats and coasters that are also beautifully quilted</a>. She is a talented art quilter who also does stunning free-motion quilting. I hope you'll pop over to check out the #HolidayGoodness and other items she shares on her inspirational blog.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our weekly parties are all about creativity, of all forms, where bloggers and non-bloggers are invited to link up and share what they have created, to inspire others. Any form of creating is welcome so long as you created it, which includes something you designed, created from a free or purchased pattern, recipes, DIY, etc.. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a "#GlitterGoodness" theme to share in this linky party. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is an inspirational tutorial on Merrick's Art for DIY Glitter Heels that just looks like #CreativeGoodness. SewCalGal also thinks this would be a fun #KidFriendlyProject that might make for a good family craft night too! Maybe the kids have some old shoes they'd like to turn into #GlitterGoodness and share with us this week?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you are looking for ideas, think about #GlitterGoodness through creativity that you might find by one of the following (but this is not a criteria list, just a list to plant the seed to help some think about this theme):</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Share how you celebrate the Holidays (e.g. Hanukkah, Christmas, etc.) And, yes, even lights can be considered as #GlitterGoodness. <br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Home decor for the holidays</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Wearables for the holidays</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Accessories</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- gifts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- recipes<br />
- DIY projects for the holidays or what ever you want to share that you feel fits the #GlitterGoodness theme!</span></span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To join the party, simply click the linky tool below and follow the steps to add the url to your blog post or picture in the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" target="_blank">Flickr Group.</a> </span><br />

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></span></blockquote>

Several years ago I became a fan of Wendy Sheppard, after getting addicted to her delightful blog (<a href="http://ivoryspring.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Ivory Spring</a>), where she shares tips, tutorials, inspiration and links to downloadable free patterns that she has written for various companies, such as major fabric manufacturers whom she also promotes awareness of beautiful new fabric releases.<br />
<br />
Wendy is a very talented quilter, designer, teacher and author. SewCalGal also considers Wendy an "Expert" Free-Motion Quilter and excellent FMQ Teacher too! She is also a wonderful woman with a variety of interests, one of which is antiques and visiting museums which she has periodically shared insights on her blog. And, as I got to know her more I remember thinking "This woman would be a wonderful Director of a Museum" as she is creative, but also she always pushes herself to learn more. Over time, I have come to the conclusion Wendy will be successful at what ever she wants to do and as such, any company that has the opportunity to work with her will be better off with the experience.<br />

Needless to say, I was delighted when I learned "Recreating Antique Quilts" was published and when she was able to attend Fall Quilt Market to promote this book. And, I'm absolutely delighted to be able to share insights with you today on this book:<br />

In 2005, with encouragement from a friend and no prior sewing experience, she made her first quilt. Needless to say, that dive into quilting changed her career path. Wendy's original designs are regularly featured in numerous publications, including <i><a href="http://thequiltermag.com/" target="_blank">The Quilter</a>, <a href="http://quilttrends.com/" target="_blank">Quilt Trends,</a> <a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/magazines-more/american-patchwork-and-quilting" target="_blank">American Patchwork & Quilting</a>, <a href="http://www.fonsandporter.com/issues/index.html?current_issue" target="_blank">Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting</a>, <a href="http://www.mccallsquilting.com/index.html" target="_blank">McCalls,</a> <a href="https://www.magshop.com.au/Australian-Quilters-Companion" target="_blank">Australian Quilters Company</a>, <a href="http://www.popularpatchwork.com/editorial/page.asp?p=498" target="_blank">UK's Popular Patchwork</a></i><a href="http://www.popularpatchwork.com/editorial/page.asp?p=498" target="_blank"> </a>and many others. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Recreating Antique Quilts is packed with inspirational designs that all come with well written instructions that are easy to follow and also include great visuals, making this book perfect for quilters of all levels. Some of the projects use machine applique where applique templates are provided and there are also templates for some of the pieced quilts. Tips are also shared for precision piecing, along with suggestions and designs for free-motion quilting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Projects include a lovely pillow, beautiful table topper/runners, stunning wallhangings, and quilts in a variety of sizes (e.g. 57- 1/2" x 61-1/2" to 56" x 68").</span><br />

<b>MY REVIEW:</b><br />
There is something special about a handmade gift and Trish has not only created a book with fun projects to make for gifts, she also does an excellent job capturing the spiriting of making handmade and giving handmade gifts. Thus, I'm truly hoping that EVERY person that enjoys making handmade gifts will get a copy of this book, but also I believe this book is filled with so many fun projects, that have easy to follow instructions, it would also make an excellent gift to encourage others to make handmade gifts.<br />
<br />
Of course, many of the projects are items you'll want to make for yourself, but they are all perfect for gifts. And many of these projects would also be appropriate for teaching kids to sew and give handmade items for gifts.<br />
<br />
All of the projects come with well written instructions and create visuals. A few of the projects have templates which are included in the book.<br />
<br />

You should be able to find these calendars in your favorite quilt shops, Martingale's online store, or on Amazon.com. They also make excellent gifts. And some quilters enjoy framing some of their favorite quilts in the calendar, or using the papers for scrapbooking, creating greeting cards, bookmarks, or other #CreativeGoodness, at the end of the year.<br />

You may be visiting my blog for the first time, or coming back by way of the linky party of giveaways on SewMamaSew. Either way, Welcome.<br />
<br />
I'm currently hosting weekly #CreativeGoodness Linky parties for bloggers and non-bloggers to share and inspire all sorts of creativity, relative to the theme of the week. And, they'll periodically be prizes for participants. Of course I also host quite a few sponsored giveaways for followers and some for non-followers, throughout the year. And next year, I'll be hosting the 2015 Free-Motion Quilting Challenge, with a new challenge released on the lst of each month. I'll be sharing insights about this challenge the end of the month and I hope it will be fun for those new to free-motion quilting, as well as those with expertise in FMQ.<br />

As I'm currently making the Bermuda Bag, with Hoffman Batiks. This versatile bag design looks great in a variety of fabrics, but it is designed to utilize 2 1/2" strips.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a "#HolidayGoodness" theme to share in this linky party. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- Home decor for the holidays</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- gifts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- recipes<br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guidelines:</span></b><br />
</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next week, our theme for #CreativeGoodness is </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">#GlitterGoodness</span></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><b> </b>. The next Linky Party will be posted on Friday, December 12th. I hope you will join the fun. After all, celebrating the holidays with friends is so much more fun. Be creative and join the fun by sharing handmade items that represent #GlitterGoodness!</span></span><br />

At $29.95, this pattern, including videos, is an exceptional value and will certainly be fun to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This pattern would also make an excellent gift. If you are interested in purchasing it as a gift, simply submit such a request through Leah's contact form at: LeahDay.com/contact and let them know that you want to purchase one, or more copies, as a gift. They will provide an email with the steps to support this type of purchase.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />We understand if you have been busy and haven't had a chance to make anything handmade, but we still want to invite you to join the fun and hope you will find inspiration by seeing what others have made, as well as enjoy some of the tutorials and tips that are shared along the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is our last Linky Party for this challenge and everyone is invited to join the fun. <span style="color: red;"><b> You can share everything you've made in 2014 that you plan to use to decorate your home, or give as Holiday gifts, including items that you may have recently made.</b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Christmas is now a few weeks away, but there is still plenty of time to make a handmade item and join this challenge, where the Linky Party this month will be open through December 10th. There are over 70 prizes that will be awarded to those that participate in this Linky Party, as well as those that participated in one or more Linky Parties this year for this challenge. The more events you participated in the more chances you have to win prizes. In randomly awarding winners, SewCalGal will be looking at all the entries to look for those that have shared a tutorial along the way, those that may have created the most unique handmade holiday item, possibly those that have made the most handmade items, or the largest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Winners will be announced between December 16-25th and in keeping with the spirit of this challenge, there will be some surprises in how winners are selected, but most will be randomly selected based on simply entering the challenge and making handmade items that fit with our holiday theme in 2014.</span><br />

The exception is with this challenge, you are encouraged to also share a photo that shows ALL of the items you have handmade for the holidays in 2014 and hopefully you will provide a count in your blog post or flickr description that you link to in this linky party. You may have made just 1 item, 10, 20, 100 or tbd items, but share a photo showing all, photos of what you've recently made, and how many handmade items you've made for the holidays in 2014. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Projects need to be made in 2014 (they do not need to be made during the 10 day window of a a given monthly linky party. But they need to be something you made for a Holiday gift or to decorate your home for the holidays in 2014. Please do not enter projects that you giveaway throughout the year, or previous holidays as that doesn't bring you good creative kharma!<br /><br />2) You can enter one or more completed projects, of any form of handmade creativity, but your linky needs to be in a current post (or non-bloggers can upload their photos and provide a link to a view able line tool like PhotoBucket, Flickr, etc.). note: Future challenges will require you to use only <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" style="color: #38761d; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Flickr</a>. <a href="http://www.sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2014/02/tutorial-for-participants-in-linky.html" style="color: #38761d; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see a tutorial for using flickr.<br /><br />3) Participants are asked to include comments in their post that share insights on the design(s) they use, any tips they wish to share, and if they made something with their own design they may wish to share a tutorial. Your help to encourage others to make handmade gifts, throughout the year to give as gifts or to decorate their home, is appreciated. And, of course, you can also inspire others by sharing your projects, providing tips and tutorials, as well as recognizing the source of the design for your project, should others be interested in making it too!</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />4) Bloggers are asked to include in their post information that that shows they have taken the "Pledge to make handmade Christmas Gifts in 2014" and are participating in this challenge. It would be appreciated if you would encourage others to also participate, or at least come look at all of the entries each month, as hopefully we'll inspire other quilters and increase awareness of designs, tips, tutorials to help make beautiful Christmas gifts and decorations. Your blog post also needs to be dated during the period of this linky party (do not link to old posts).</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let's not forget the spirit of this challenge is to make handmade gifts for Holidays or decorations for the holiday season, throughout the year. We also hope to help increase awareness of designs, free patterns, tutorials and other products that help to make such products. And, your help in inspiring others to make handmade for Christmas is appreciated. PR Angels are also appreciated.</span></div>

But those that are simply putting in a single stitch this year to count it as an entry for this challenge will not have good kharma. Please strive to adhere to the intent of this challenge.....Make Handmade in 2014 for Christmas gifts and decorations for the 2014 Holiday season!</span></span><br />

There have been many wonderful handmade items that have been shared that are inspirational gifts, as well as some great tutorials.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The theme for the <a href="http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2014/11/fallgoodness.html" target="_blank">party last week was #FallGoodness</a>. Thank you for everyone who shared their favorite FallGoodness projects and inspired others, as well as to those of you who shared tutorials. Today I'm delighted to showcase one of the participants that shared a gorgeous <a href="http://www.buzzinbumble.com/2014/09/maple-leaf-mug-rugs-or-coasters.html" target="_blank">Fall Mug Rugs and Coasters,</a> as well as a tutorial to help you make it, from Buzzin Bumble. I hope you'll pop over and check out her delightful blog, where she shares inspirational projects, tips, tutorials, yummy recipes and more! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The theme for the party this week is #ThankfulGoodness. This party is all about creativity, of all forms, where bloggers and non-bloggers are invited to link up and share what they have created, to inspire others. Any form of creating is welcome so long as you created it, which includes something you designed, created from a free or purchased pattern, recipes, DIY, etc.. Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a "Thankful" theme to share in this linky party. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you are looking for ideas, think about #ThankfulGoodness through creativity that you might find by one of the following (but this is not a criteria list, just a list to plant the seed to help some think about this theme):</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- handmade treasures you cherish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- memory quilts</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- special scrapbooks, or greeting cards</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- photos that capture special memories</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- a quilt, or crochet-knitted item, that is special</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- a handmade item made by your children or grandchildren, or by your parents, siblings, or distant relative that you treasure<br />
- hand embroidery from someone special<br />
- handmade gift from a dear friend or family member <br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">- a family recipe that you treasure</span></span></blockquote>

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guidelines:</span></b><br />
</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). Heck, even photos of your Thanksgiving table, decorations, or family dinner could be a fun way to share what you are thankful for. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next week, our theme for #CreativeGoodness is </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;">#HolidayGoodness</span></b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6000003814697px;"><b> </b>. The next Linky Party will be posted on Friday, December 5th. I hope you will join the fun. After all, celebrating the holidays with friends is so much more fun. Be creative and join the fun by sharing what you are thankful for. You may have photos, a project, a recipe....anything with #CreativeGoodness that you want to share that fits a #HolidayGoodness theme will work. Quite easy! It might be super easy for those decorating their home for the holidays, or wrapping gifts, that want to snap photos to share. But again, you are welcome to share old blog posts, old photos, so long as they work with the theme for this week of #CreativeGoodness.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The theme for the party this week is #FallGoodness. This party is all about creativity, of all forms, where bloggers and non-bloggers are invited to link up and share what they have created, to inspire others. Any form of creating is welcome so long as you created it, which includes something you designed, created from a free or purchased pattern, recipes, DIY, etc.. Create and Inspire, but this week, this post, it needs to fit with a Fall theme to share in this linky party. Of course tips and tutorials are also appreciated!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Guidelines:</span></b><br />
</span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1) Your creative project can be any type of creativity which you feel is appropriate for the weekly theme. You may want to share a quilt, wallhanging, tablerunner, crochet-knit, embroidery, painted, handmade jewelry, recipe or other handmade/DIY project which you created (your own design, free or purchased pattern, recipe, etc). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2) Of course, tips and tutorials are always appreciated, but not required. If you did created your project using a free pattern, purchased pattern, or free internet tutorial, SewCalGal hopes you will share with others the info for others to also find the design info that you used to create your project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3) Old blog posts, old projects, are all shareable. Just be sure they work with the weekly theme. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">4) Bloggers can share new or old posts, as well as link up more than one post to any weekly linky party. The links that they share just need to fit the weekly theme. And once you share a link, you can not re-share it in future linky parties.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">5) Non-bloggers can participate in weekly linky parties by using Flickr.com and uploading a photo of their projects to a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Flickr group "</span><a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" style="color: #38761d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">". They can upload as many photos as they want to share to this Flickr group, but they are only allowed to link 5 photos to the linky party (any weekly linky party). And, once they've lined a photo they can not share that link in future linky parties. Links shared must also fit the weekly theme for the respective weekly linky party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">6) When you join one of these linky parties, you automatically give me approval to snag a picture from your post, whereby I can share it in a future post with a link on my blog to highlight your project. To clarify, each week I will happily showcase a participant from the prior weeks' linky party. </span></span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SewCalGal is always looking for ways to learn and improve our Quilt Math Skills. While SewCalGal recommends Electric Quilt Software, for creating quilt designs, tweaking purchased designs, selecting fabrics and colors, calculating fabric requirements and more, I do realize not every quilter is comfortable with computers nor software and there are many that need help to calculate yardage when they tweak an existing design, or draw out their own unique design idea.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> But there are just not many good tools available to help quilters with quilt math, until now......</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Quilt Math is a broad area, but the basics of calculating fabric requirements to make a quilt can still challenge many quilters. And, even those that can easily calculate how much fabric we need for a project, can feel it is a daunting task</span></div>

Needless to say, I am extremely excited about a tool that has been created by Amy Ellis (Amy's Creative Side). First, I want to share a little bit about Amy:<br />
<br />
Amy is a talented quilter, quilt designer, fabric designer, author, teacher and blogger. On her blog, she has hosted the Blogger's Quilt Festival where quilters around the world show their beautiful quilts, and she also shares tips, tutorials and inspiration on her delightful blog.<br />
<br />
As an Author, Amy has published several books with Martingale:<br />

And she has designed a beautiful line of fabric called Modern Neutrals, with Moda.<br />

<br />
<br />
But today, I'm delighted to share insights about a Quilt Planner tool, which Amy has just released. This is an excellent tool to help quilters determine how much fabric you need for a quilt and/or binding of a quilt. Check out this Youtube video she created that provides a good overview of this helpful tool:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/agaYr-3Uifs" width="560"></iframe><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">If you have problems viewing this embedded video you can use this link to view it directly in Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agaYr-3Uifs#t=10" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agaYr-3Uifs#t=10</a></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Quilt Planner is a 5-page pdf document that you can print for each and every quilt you make! Amy walks you through a progression of questions that help you plan your quilt. Each detail in the block is covered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With each question, you will do a little math to determine the yardage required to make your quilt, and make a separate list to take to the cutting mat when you are ready to cut. There’s also notes on negative space in your quilt, and how to calculate the yardage, a list of suggested quilt sizes, and binding calculation. Finally, there’s a blank page for you to doodle and dream up your next quilt!</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Through November 22nd, Amy has an introductory price of $12 for the new Quilt Planner tool, which is priced at $15. She is also planning more Quilt Planner tools in the future. You can order a downloadable copy of this tool at: <a href="http://amyscreativeside.com/quiltplanner/" target="_blank">http://amyscreativeside.com/quiltplanner/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SewCalGal highly recommends the Quilt Planner to any quilter that feels challenged when it comes to calculating yardage for your quilt design and/or binding. This planning tool will make it much easier for quilters to calculate yardage requirements for their projects.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">For many of us, #CreativeGoodness is found when we quilt. But we also enjoy other forms of creativity. These linky parties are meant to encourage creating, sharing and inspiring all the forms of creativity we enjoy. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">For some it is found when we stitch embroidery, or other forms of sewing. But creative goodness can include knitting, crochet, weaving, cooking, gardening, scrapbooking, creating clipart, photography, working with clay, making jewelry, and so much more.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Every Friday, starting this Friday, SewCalGal will host a weekly </span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"> #CreativeGoodness Linky Party where everyone is invited to show off their creativity, have fun, and inspire kids of all ages (this event isn't just about kids). Periodically we'll have some sponsored giveaways. Each week, SewCalGal will also pick one of the participants from the previous week, to showcase.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Bloggers and non-bloggers will be invited to participate. Non-Bloggers can upload a shareable file and copy to a Flickr group "<a href="https://www.flickr.com/groups/2726702@N25/" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a>". Bloggers have their choice of adding a link to a current post, or an old post. But everyone that joins the linky party needs to share something that fits their interpretation of the theme that week! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">Here are some things you may want to tips or tutorials, but the goal is to share inspiration on whatever you create that fits the weekly theme. You might want to share:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But what you share will need to be something you created, not a photo of something someone else created. And, it will need to fit the theme of the week. There is a new page on my blog created for this event labeled "#<a href="http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/p/creativegoodness.html" target="_blank">CreativeGoodness</a>". I will soon post the schedule for our linky parties to show the theme, for each week, as well as recognize sponsors that for parties that we will have giveaways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This week, on Friday, November 21st, the theme will be #FallGoodness. You may have a Fall quilt, wallhanging, or table topper you may want to share. Maybe you set a spectacular table for Thanksgiving and you want to share tips, or a special Fall recipe. What ever creativity with a Fall theme that you want to share to inspire with others will be welcome. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope you'll join me for the #FallGoodness Linky Party this coming Friday! And, of course, even if you don't link up, I hope you'll be inspired and visit all the blogs, as well as get inspired by what they share and what non-bloggers share too! After all, we can all use more #goodness in the world. And collectively, we are pretty good with #CreativeGoodness so this is all about sharing and inspiring what we already enjoy!</span><br />
