Urban Hands - Finally !

 Its exactly 2 months to the day since I last made a blog entry. I see bloggers all around apologizing for their spells of inactivity. Never understood why. Why does one feel obliged to apologize for not having updated a blog? A blog is for the self. You feel you want to write, you write. If you don't, you don't. I didn't for some time, and thats ok. And today I want to, and that's ok too. No?

Anyways, picking up from where I dropped off, here's 'Urban Hands' in pics..

The market was in a beautiful, exotic looking space, bang opposite the beach. This was my stall..

Here's the mad gypsy woman..

..with her cat..
(Edited to add - The above statements are untrue. Neither am I a gypsy woman nor is that my cat. There may be a slight bit of truth in the 'mad' part tho)

And here's the sweet young lady who designed my logo..


I had a great time at the event once the friends and relatives starting dropping in :-)..

A peek at some of my displayed quilts/runners/placemats..





Silly me didn't click pics of the rest of the stalls set up by the crème de la crème of Crafters in Chennai. This is the only one I have.. that's fellow DQ, Sudha, of 'Madras Motifs', also popularly called the bag lady :-)..


Good times. Good fun. Good friends. Good pics.


Kudos, Chennai Crafters. Looking forward to the next one !

  4. Hi, Tina. I agree that one should never apologize--and then you've been very busy. Beautiful quilts and mats--I especially like the big-print place mats.

  7. Thanks for your words. I'll never apologize again, that's not an obligation to blog just for blogging. I love your quilts and the logo is beautiful. Haven't you think in make it in a quilt? Would be great!
