Seamed Up
Have you visited SeamedUp yet? It's a new(ish) website to track and share sewing projects, manage your stash and meeet other quilters and crafters. It works somewhat like Ravelry does for knitters. Except SeamedUp is keeping a HUGE data base of fabrics, patterns, books and notions, so adding your stash is super easy. They also have great events coming up like quilt-alongs such as Blue Nickel's (my friend Scott Hansen), Quilt-Uber-Fest.
They have all sorts of wonderful things going on over there. Yesterday I got a chance to talk with one of SeamedUp's co-founder's, Alison, and she recorded our conversation for a podcast. I may have said all sorts of silly things... and we were speaking Yiddish...so you might want to go take a listen.
Also, SeamedUp needs our help... which is really like us helping ourselves really because we are the ones who will benefit. They need a bigger server to make the site do all the wonderful things they intend to do with it. If you get a chance, stop by Indie Go-Go and read about their campaign. You can also read their blog post about "Making the Dream a Reality". I think it's important to support other women owned businesses for so many reasons... not the least of which is my belief that it will be women who bring this economy back to a running pace.
Here's a little video with more about SeamedUp!
You've stopped at the online journal of Bari Ackerman (the J. is for Jill, my middle name). I am a fabric, sewing pattern and surface designer. I love to create. And, I love to share ideas and dreams with other creative people. I hope you'll stay for a visit. And, feel free to chime in on the conversation. You know, so I don't think I'm talking to myself. Thanks for stopping by!
