Free Travel Necklace Instructions
I'll be traveling soon, and I'll, once again, be glad that I have this travel necklace. It's a lovely little pouch that hangs around my neck, and it's sized to hold my passport. On the back, a vinyl pocket holds my ID and an opaque one is sized for a credit card. This is a very useful item! Plus, it's so pretty that I often wear it as a necklace.

I thought you might like to make your own travel necklace, so I've provided free instructions for you. They're in the form of an electronic file, which you download from the internet. This is the same exact process that is used when downloading an e-book, or class files. If you can manage the Travel Necklace instructions, you'll know you can also handle the other files. Find full details.

E-Book Testing
My first e-book, Double Reverse Appliqué™, is almost ready for puchase! The book is complete and the sales interface is in place. Now, all I need to do is test it a little, to see if there are any bugs.

Not sure what an e-book is? It's a digital file, which you download onto your computer. You have the option of reading the information while sitting at your computer, or printing the pages, to create a hard copy book. The convenience of an e-book can't be beat, since it downloads almost instantaeously.

Now about that testing, would you like to help? If so, you can purchase one of the books for a whopping 50 cents. In return for such a steal, I'll ask you to respond to several feedback questions. Act fast though, because there are only 20 books available at this test price. To make your purchase, and help me perfect everything, please click here.

Inspiration
As I often say in my design class, "Be inspired by your photo, not owned by it." I kept this in mind as I designed the quilt I'm currently working on. Here's the inspiration photo, one that I took on a neighborhood walk. Pretty cool, huh? Of course, I've made a few changes. What would you alter? Leave unchanged? Or maybe enhance?

Enjoy the adventure!
