The Crafty Chica DIY Project Library: a collection of fabulous handmade ideas by Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica! Thursday, December 27, 2007Seeking submissions for my book: SEWING (Tim Burton in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories, 1997, from http://www.koikadit.net/) I'm winding up my next book, which is all about artful stitching. It's for Potter Craft and will be a beautiful book (pub date is spring 09)! I'm looking for small "blurbs" from people to sprinkle throughout about various sewing experiences. Something gone bad, a favorite memory, even a favorite book you read that has sewing in it, a lesson learned, a sewing circle you belong to, a trick you learned, etc. Please send them to me! Keep them short - about a paragraph. If it is too long, it may be trimmed. Please send your NAME, AGE & CITY YOU LIVE IN, and it may be published in the book! Send them HERE I'm also looking for images of non-traditional sewing art. High end, really clever stuff that is gallery worthy for a special section of the book. Please send me a lo-res image and then if it is chosen, I'll ask for a hi-res. Thanks! Please s pread the word. Tell your moms and nanas too! Deadline is FRIDAY, JANUARY 4th! *** CLICK HERE to see my crafty videos at LifetimeTV.com!

0 Comments:About Me
In a (hefty) nutshell: I'm a mom, wife, artist, author & left-handed middle-child binge crafter Sagittarian. We have 4 Chihuahuas. I designed a product line with Duncan Enterprises - it launches this summer nationwide! I write a weekly nationally syndicated craft column for The Arizona Republic. I've authored six books. My 7th is a sewing book for Potter Craft and it comes out Feb. 17, 2009. I wrote and sold my first novel, "Love Shine". It comes out in summer 2009 (Grand Central Publishing). I make and sell a line of "Chicano Pop Art" with my husband, Patrick Murillo. He does all my illos! We are currently prepping for a six-month art installation for the Heard Museum. It opens October 2008. I have a web series with LifetimeTV.com called "Crafting With the Chica". I love to read. I watch too much TV!   Note to visitors: Hola! This site is the archive of all my past projects for Gannett News Service and The Arizona Republic. These ideas are for personal use only. I make a living as a craft designer, so I will be using these ideas in my published works. If you are thinking of selling or using these ideas for profit, please give respect and "twist" them to make them your own - put your own stamp on them to make them different. It will work out for the best for both of us! Thank you and much respect from one creative person to another! — Kathy Have a burning crafty question? Visit my Ask Crafty Chica blog or drop me a line!
