My comment doesn't pertain to this blog, but I don't know where else to ask questions. I'm an artist working mainly in oils and acrylics, but I recently fell in love with both Cloth Paper Scissors and Quilting Arts and subscribe to both. I have a limited budget and would like information concerning what supplies to buy first....how to start. I did purchase "Beginners Guide to Machine Embroidery" tonite, but there seem to be so many different types of paints, yarns, and interesting looking things to use as embellishments, etc. If someone could take a few moments to share some tips on how to start and what to buy, I would really appeciate. You are all so talented, I am in awe. Hoping I can use my talents to begin creating. Thanks in advance....

I will be in Chicago and hope that I can get into a Make it U session at a time I am not in class. And if you ever need a studio for an extreme makeover I will volunteer mine.

Hi Pokey. I'll be at Make it University in Chicago. Looking forward to seeing/meeting all the artists at Open Studios. And looking forward to shopping for new products. Am enjoying the Studios magazine. I wish the size of each studio had been in the articles.

I am planning on going to the Chicago Show and Make it Uniservsity, my favorite place at the show.

Oh how exciting...I'm gathering up all of my creations to submit! And, I can't wait to get the studio issue!

I am really impressed with the studio issue. It's always fascinating to see inside people's homes, and even more fun to see their studios! Some of the artists are soooo very organized. yikes! And some have such HUGE studio spaces! thank goodness for wonderful Lesley Riley, reminding us that we can make art anywhere, including our bedrooms.

I am attending the Make It U in Chicago. It will be my first time at a quilt show and I am psyched to meet all of the great mixed media artists!!! My paper quilt submission will also be in the gallery.

I am counting the days until Make-It-University! It was the most exciting part of my trip last year! I was thrilled to meet Debbi Crane and Cheryl Prater. They were so kind and excellent teachers! They have encouraged me to enter my work in various shows and challenges. Thanks for such a wonderful expereience and for the best magazines ever!

Make-It-University is the first schedule I look for when the IQF-Chicago catalog arrives!...It's been THE place to check out, meet up or spend an hour learning something new at the festival since my friend and I discovered it during our first trip to Rosemont, 3 yrs ago. Tried to find the Studios issue today, but no luck. My husband and I remodeled our house late last year and I now have my own little art studio that needs some help...I'm looking forward to the storage and organization ideas I'm hoping to see there.

The Studio Issue is great. I am constantly rearranging my space and now I have some better ideas to make it easier to work in. As far as adding a "green" element, the two old kitchen cabinets in my attic are certain to have a spot in my space this summer. Of course, after they've had their makeover.

I will be at the Chicago show, looking forward to seeing you there. Haven't picked up Studios yet, the book store trip is planned for this weekend. Can't wait!

Thanks for all your hard work. I am looking forward to the Make It U is my favorite place to be in Chicago. Meeting artists in the Open Studios Area is fantastic.

The Studios issue is absolutely to die for! I've been showing it around to everyone. It's reminiscent of Where Women Create but with such a broad range of studio sizes and ideas. I loved seeing my favorite artists' spaces. Thanks for a WONDERFUL special issue!
