I think there have been alot of postal problems this round. I sent an original and a replacement card overseas and it sounds like the original has just been received (and I sent a couple of days after sign ups ended!). And I am still missing one that was sent to me from within the US.

Have you talked to people who are doing the kinds of jobs you are thinking about? Since you talked about working in a museum, I would go find someone who does fund raisers or other events and someone else who does restoration work and some one else who is in charge of getting pieces for the exhibits, etc, etc and see what they have to say. How did they get into it, what degress do they have, how did those degrees help them, what do they wish they would have studied in college to make their job easier. I think you will find that people are usually pretty willing to talk about themselves.

Good luck!

Very cute!

Dogrrl - sorry to hear about what happened, but thanks for putting in the extra effort for me.

Has the tin I sent you arrived yet? Seems like it should have been there by now.

I am currently doing a round robin crazy quilt on another web site and the block I got over the weekend to work on is made up of silks, cottons and suedes. It is beautiful. I would say it is up to you what to use and how to put it together.

I am so glad the pincushion tin arrived in one piece, I was a little worried about it. Of course, I used a big enough box to mail it in! LOL. I got the images for the magnets from articusstudiodesign .com. They came on heavy cardstock and I cut them out and glued them onto magnets. They also have great stuff for microscope slide necklaces and atc's.

I use felt for the insides of mine, but I just put it on the inside of the top and bottom, not down the inside of the sides. I hope that makes sense. LOL

Have you tried the Borders downtown by Pioneer Place?

I know nothing about digital atc's, but I like the way you combined all these images together.

I need to get in on this. I am starting three baby quilts this weekend, one will be a rag quilt, one a jar quilt and the third will probably be a log cabin. Than I have the squares from last years quilt block along that I need to get into a quilt for my son, some redwork squares that I need to put together for my mom and a grandmothers flower garden that I am doing all by hand out of fairy frost fabric for me. And that's just the start of my list!!!

I am also now a big fan of the cotton batting. No more poly for me.
