It's Monday, so it must be time for a little magic. Today I'm going to take a break from Design Magic and skip over to photo magic. It's a little peek into our activities here at Cedar Canyon. One of my biggest challenges is creating our ads for Quilting Arts, Cloth Paper Scissors, and a few other publications. The text is usually easy. After all, I love to write. The photos? Now that's a challenge!
The Product pages on our site contain information about how to use the product – not just descriptions of products. To keep the pages neat and tidy, the information is hidden in collapsible sections. My highly technical term is a peek-a-boo section and I assure you that I’ll know exactly
I have to confess that I have avoided Facebook like the plague for years. I spend so much time on the computer that I’m really afraid to have one more thing that needs attention. But with so many of our friends and customers out there, it was time to quit
Hi All! It's Monday, so it must be time for a little Design Magic. Last week I shared the wonderful birds that TART Lauren Parker created as a part of her lesson on Positive/Negative Stenciling. This week I'd like to share the 4 pieces created by the TART leaders at In Good Company. The four talented artists at In Good Company say this: "Our business features the work and art of four women: Sue Engel, Sue Anne Iman, Jamie Grant, and Susan Wetzsteon. It is the collaboration of talent and ideas sparked by an interest in quilting and design which we have turned into a business for the past 15 years. Our focus at present is textile art quilts." If you are looking for a way to explore textile art topics on a regular basis, the TART program may be just what you are looking for.

It's Monday, so it must be time for a little magic. Last week I shared Kathy Tanner's elephants. If you missed it, you can read about them here. Today, I'd like to share Lauren Parker's birds. I have to admit that I'm always thrilled when someone sends in photos of their Design Magic creations – and I'm sure you'll agree that Lauren's birds are just delightful. To start, I need to explain that Lauren is a TART. (That's a compliment, not a smart remark!) TART is short for Textile ARTist, and TARTs are a group of people exploring various textile art techniques with 4 creative ladies at In Good Company.
Some days I get tons of junk in the e-mail, but some days I get absolute treasures! I recently received photos from two artists with notes and photos of how they are using the Design Magic concept with animals. I have to be honest - I never even considered playing with critters as a design elements – but these ladies could create an entire menagerie! Let's start with Kathy Tanner's elephants. I'll share another post with a great idea for birds later.
A new year has arrived and it’s time for some new adventures. Doing the same old thing gets old and I’m feeling the need to spice up my life and my business. After all, doing the same old thing makes Shelly a very dull girl. It must be time to
