ReplyDeleteTara - Hello! Glad the post was helpful. I think seeing the various examples may provide ideas for you and others.
ReplyDeleteWhat challenged me is to not attempt to put everything into one catalog but look at this first one as the beginning of a series.
ReplyDeleteI'm still undecided on a Title, but I definitely want to include images of me in my studio working on various stages of cloth-to-quilt.
