Blog — Margaret Applin. I have to share this BIG, BIG, BIG news!!!
Today, I secured myself a spot to exhibit at SURTEX in May!!! I am so excited as this opportunity could set me on my way to licensing my designs for all kinds of products including textiles!!! If you haven't heard of Surtex, just visit this link HERE. Surtex is one of the largest and well-known, globally attended licensing trade shows in the U.S. held every year in NYC. This is the show that some successful artists design all year for! I have to thank Rachelle Panagarry who organized and set up the entire Cultivate Art Collective website, member group and SURTEX opportunity that 11 or 12 of us will be exhibiting at next May.

Mastered classes include lifetime access to the class, plus a personal career coach and personalized feedback from industry experts. Courses focus on “designer-makers” who want to turn their creative pursuits into successful business opportunities. From Mastered: Too many people still spend their days typing rather than sketching, slumped in meetings rather than expressing themselves with their hands. We hear the same old line: you can’t make a living from creativity. We want to change that, so have re-imagined creative education that works for designer-makers: it’s more affordable, more convenient and more valuable.
Mastered is offering a giveaway today of their Creative Embroidery course with Diana Springall. To enter to win, let us know what you think about Mastered in the comments. Felt Tote Bag Tutorial.

People who don't sew are really impressed when you tell them you've just finished making duvet for your comforter (immediately after you explain what a duvet is). When this happens... simply smile, accept the ohhhs and ahhhs, but do not go on to explain that a duvet is really just a giant bag. There's nothing wrong with being impressive! Besides, we've amped up the awe-inspiring potential by creating a unique patchwork design with big, beautiful blocks of solid color in a Mondrian style of random intersecting rectangles.
This clean, modern look is also referred to as Color Block, which is very much on-trend with the latest in home décor. Do you love the matching long bolster pillow in the photo above? The steps below are quite detailed, as are all our Sew4Home tutorials. Fiberliscious. You cannot imagine how much I dislike the idea of packing and moving.
Even packing for a minor short trip would put me in a tailspin. So when I was asked to participate in my home town museum's Appalachian Artisans Festival, I immediately froze. I have never had any desire to participate in a show. That would mean selecting some of my textile art, packing it up, coming up with a reasonable display, making business cards, an artist statement, etc, etc, etc. Yet, the wonderful staff at the has been so supportive of my art, displaying it in their lobby and selling it in the gift shop for me, how could I say no.
