Beginner-Friendly Baby Quilts Book Review
Thanks so much for featuring my guest post over at Made By Joel. But now I’m curious. . . what is this pledge you mentioned? About process? I haven’t taken it, but I love reading about process so I’m intrigued. . .
Hi Wendi!
In a nutshell, we bloggers have a tendency to show and talk only about our final product, instead of showing all the twists and turns and often ugliness of the journey to get there. Listen, if you could see some of my “process” sewing you’d fall on the floor laughing…it’s that bad. 🙂
Here’s a link to information on The Process Pledge: http://r0ssie.blogspot.com/2010/05/process-pledge.html
