Back after a long tax season
For those who don't know me personally, I am an accountant. I'm an Assistant Controller for a local company, and I prepare tax returns and do bookkeeping from home. Needless to say, the last several months have been extraordinarily busy for me!! ANYWAY, the tax return push is over, and I'm finally getting caught back up on my bookwork, so now I can actually relax and get back to work on re-organizing my sewing room and doing a little bit of piecing. Since my home office is in my sewing room, I have a HUGE disaster to clean up from tax season, so maybe by next tax season, I'll be done. LOL!
I'd like to mention that even though I was terribly busy, I did have to find some time for a little bit of sanity. I have a hand piecing project that sits in my sewing box on the end table in the living room. I've been slowly piecing a hexagon quilt using Inklingo. For those of you unfamiliar with Inklingo, I encourage you to visit Linda Franz's website at www.inklingo.com. Inklingo is a WONDERFUL product that allows you to print templates directly on the back of your fabric. All of the cutting and sewing lines, including matching points, are printed directly on the fabric which eliminates the tedious steps of making templates and tracing. Linda has even set each of the templates up to make it easy to rotary cut your pieces apart. And each piece will be perfect! The Inklingo website even has a FREE collection to download, so everyone can try it.
In addition to the free download, a fellow "Inklingo-ist" has created an Inklingo blog here on Blogspot. To better familiarize people with this fabulous product, Tilde has arranged for an Inklingo Give-Away. On the blog there are Give-Away projects posted. A number of fellow Inklingo-ists have generously donated fabric printed with Inklingo templates, and a pattern to be given away to some lucky people who sign up at the Inklingo blog. Click on the "Inklingo Give-Away" button here on my blog. And good luck! There are some REALLY beautiful projects out there! And be warned! Inklingo is addictive! :)
That's all for now. I wish for everyone to have a lovely spring!
