After a long vacation from my blog, yeah like five and half years, I have restarted my blog. It is now located here on my <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/sandysblog" target="_blank">website</a>.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">...and if you haven't seen me since 2014, you will see lots of new designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">In 2013, <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/quilled-folk-art-designs.html" target="_blank">Folk Art Pieces</a> were added to my designs, which you saw on this blog. Lots of color and whimsy.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In 2016, I added <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/quilled-gardens.html" target="_blank">Gardens</a>, a tribute to my Mom. She had beautiful gardens that she loved to play in. I can't grow anything, so I created beautiful Quilled gardens, no water or sunlight needed. I know my Mom has beautiful gardens in heaven, and that my brother and Dad are there helping her out. Or at least smiling...</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/quilled-window-box-gardens.html" target="_blank">WindowBox Gardens</a> and <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/quilled-skyline-gardens.html" target="_blank">Skylight Gardens</a> were my new series in 2017, all made with lots of original Quilled flowers.</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">My <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/quilled-landscapes-on-of-a-kind.html" target="_blank">Quilled Landscapes</a> debuted at the League of New Hampshire Craftmen's Fair in 2018, and they were loved by everyone, well almost everyone. Big beautiful landscapes with lots of Quilling, the entire piece is Quilled! That means lots of little rolls of paper strategically placed to create the landscape picture. This was my first one, a 16x20 framed piece:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This year I have been designing a small butterfly, moth and dragonfly series, small floral garden series, and am working on a new design for Quilled birth announcement keepsakes. Just a few of my ideas. And as always, I want to do that one giant piece...I'll get there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am now down to one show a year: The Craftmens Fair, which is 9 days long and located at Newbury New Hampshire at the Sunapee Resort -- its a ski area and we set up at the bottom of the mountain in large tents, so we are good rain or shine. Lots of great work and demonstrations, at least two days worth of looking.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This show is the one that I love and will continue participating in forever...however long that is! The craftspeople are friendly and with this being my 34th year, we all know each other. You might want to visit if you're in New England, its worth the trip. Here's the link to the <a href="https://www.nhcrafts.org/annual-craftsmens-fair/" target="_blank">League's website</a>. It starts the first Saturday in August and runs through the following weekend, 9 days.</span></div>

<br />
Did you ever wonder how I got started in quilling? This is certainly a question that I get asked more often than not, and now you will enjoy the story as well.<br />
<br />
Shortly after my husband and I were married, I went to a little craft shop in Epsom, New Hampshire, long gone now I am sure. Having seen quilling in the craft magazines back then, in the early 70's, I had my girlfriend's wedding invitation and wanted to make quilled flowers to place around it and frame it. I picked up the strips of paper and a little blue board, now obsolete, and went home to work out my gift. Many days later, I went back to the shop with my work. The lady working there looked very closely at the flowers and asked if I had a quilling tool. I asked what she meant as I had rolled the paper strips around a pin. She was amazed, and I was as equally amazed that there was a quilling tool! The quilling tool made the work so much easier. And I was hooked. I was soon making pieces to sell and went to my first show. I love paper.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my latest wedding invitations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JnFjMIXpAYc/Uv6WXo1_f-I/AAAAAAAAAec/GI5hgBg2H68/s1600/336.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JnFjMIXpAYc/Uv6WXo1_f-I/AAAAAAAAAec/GI5hgBg2H68/s1600/336.JPG" height="316" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXJTI8gh5Qs/Uv6WfD4uI_I/AAAAAAAAAek/bLPhINBoJbk/s1600/334.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZXJTI8gh5Qs/Uv6WfD4uI_I/AAAAAAAAAek/bLPhINBoJbk/s1600/334.JPG" height="400" width="397" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-39GfSQfHbp8/Uv6WlNB0zoI/AAAAAAAAAes/iC_cwJBW_pA/s1600/333.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-39GfSQfHbp8/Uv6WlNB0zoI/AAAAAAAAAes/iC_cwJBW_pA/s1600/333.JPG" height="400" width="345" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PUm8VVNthJ8/Uv6WntZ7jvI/AAAAAAAAAe0/MeJXHz1Jpws/s1600/330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PUm8VVNthJ8/Uv6WntZ7jvI/AAAAAAAAAe0/MeJXHz1Jpws/s1600/330.JPG" height="400" width="301" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
All of them are so different, and I find them all a challenge. I always want them to look really nice. And I try to incorporate the colors from the invitation with the favorite colors of the Bride and Groom.<br />
<br />
Making that special wedding invitation keepsake makes me feel like I get invited to the wedding. Many of my invitations come from former recipients of a quilled wedding invitation made by me. I guess that is the greatest compliment.<br />
<br />

I was so thrilled to see my Heron Turned published in the magazine, even though it is all Russian and I am unable to translate anything........except the quillingbysandrawhite.com. So I guess that is a good thing! I have a link to the <a href="http://scrapjournal.ru/#2" target="_blank">magazine</a>, but there is very little on the website, not even my quilled picture. But that's ok, the magazine does seem to be attracting people to this blog and my website. I was impressed by the quilling in the magazine, just wonder what it says.<br />
<br />
My Rooster seems to be making lots of good impressions. I am so glad that the folk art pieces are making everybody happy. I know that I enjoy making them.<br />
Here is my recent bird.<br />

I just realized that it has been 6 months since I have been here. Wow, the last post was just before the League of NH Craftsmans Fair last August. For a quick update, the fair was great, AND my folk art pieces were well received and many were adopted. Which keeps me moving ahead with more designs. I will be back with my new ones to show you.</div>

I have been showing there since 1987 and its a great opportunity for craftsmen and collectors alike. We all bring our best work, all 300 plus of us. Please order nice weather, we would really appreciate it.<br />
<br />
For those of you who wonder what it takes to do a 9 day show that brings at least 30,000 visitors, here is the view from my side of the road.<br />
<br />
I have spent that last 6 months getting my work quilled and creating my new designs. The last month I have spent framing everything and giving a few finishing touches to my favorite pieces. The frames and supplies had to be ordered a month or two ago so that everything is ready to go.<br />
<br />
The last two weeks I have spent putting stamps and mailing labels on my new postcards, which were ordered two months ago to be here. I order from <a href="http://nextdayflyers.com/">nextdayflyers.com</a>. They have great service and a really nice product line.<br />
<br />
My next two weeks I will spend getting out the booth and everything that goes with it, from the carpets to the lights to the fabric. Everything needs to be perfect for the Fair. And some things may need to be replaced, which is easier now than set up day.<br />
<br />
The last week I try to be sure everything is done so that I can simply think the week through and set up on Thursday and Friday. And yes, if you give me an hour to set up, I can set up in an hour. If you give me a day, I can set up in a day. But give me two days, and I will use both of them. But, lets be fair, the booth is going to be there for 9 days (plus two days setting up) and I will be 'living' there. Anyways, that my view. And here I sit, taking a sit down break and sharing my pre-Sunapee life.<br />
<br />
I was hoping to put a really nice picture of last year's booth here, but unfortunately, we had a lightning storm two weeks ago, and it cooked my computer, modem, and wireless router (one more thing to do, order a new computer). And all my pictures. Here is a picture of my booth in Wells, Maine, at Laudholm Farm last year instead. It doesn't show the Sunapee booth, which is much more elaborate, little curtains top and bottom, and carpeting, but its a nice booth anyways, only a two day show.<br />
<br />

I have made many birds, ducks, and flowers. And my favorites, of course, are the Loons, the Blue Herons, and the Sunflowers, which can all be seen on my <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. I will continue to make those many designs and the favorites will become my signature collection.<br />

<br />
Here is the first in my series 'A Collection of Folk Art', quilling my way. It is my Quilled Folk Art Rooster. I have been thinking about this series for a long time, loving color that nature does not always allow. I read a blog post from <a href="http://luannudell.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Luann Udell</a> which was on <a href="http://faso.com/fineartviews/55361/advice-on-getting-advice-part-2" target="_blank">FineArtViews</a> in which she talked with a person who had all this art she needed to sell before trying a new line. And Luann told her to pack it away and do what makes you happy (my short version)....I read that again, and again......and said, she is absolutely right. I will not be packing up my work, I will be adding to it. A new line.......WOW. Sometimes you just need to be given permission, Luann is right.<br />
<br />
It has been a long winter, my mom has moved into a nursing home, well we had to move her.....and it is sad. So I need something to be glad about, and Luann's article hit me at the right time. Thank you Luann... I will personally thank you again this summer at the <a href="http://nhcrafts.org/craftsmens_fair/fair_home.html" target="_blank">League of NH Craftsman's Fair</a>.<br />
<br />
So my new line has color, lots of color, and is happy.........and it makes me feel good. And excited about my work...again. Check it out. I will be back soon with number two.<br />
<br />
By the way, I may keep this one as a sample, as it has special meaning......I have moved on....<br />
<br />
I would love it if you all could check out my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/QuillingBySandraWhite?ref=hl" target="_blank">facebook</a> page and like the new rooster.......well, that is if you like it. I am almost to 300 views, so even checking it out would be great. I made the 300 views!!<br />

Do what you love and you will never work a day in your Life.<br />

Seems like a long time, but when you are doing something you love, time passes quickly.<br />
<br />
This past year, I had a few nice mentions on different sites and here is the most recent.<br />
Judy did a wonderful job with this<a href="http://www.zibbet.com/blog/2012.12.17/featured-zibbeter-quillingbysandrawhite" target="_blank"> interview on Zibbet.</a><br />
<br />
Then check out my shop on <a href="http://www.zibbet.com/QuillingbySandraWhite" target="_blank">Zibbet</a>. and all the other shops. Really nice place...and wonderful community.<br />
<br />
Check it out. She really has a lot of great questions. What I find really interesting is reading other interviews, as it makes me feel not alone in my world of art.<br />
<br />
Here is my double heron. This year I plan on making more 'doubles.' I want to get the female ducks and birds in with the males, as they are so differently colored. So I wonder what will be my second one. I am thinking maybe cardinals.<br />

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
I am definitely taking a breather. All the orders are on their way to their new homes and I am settling in for the snow coming on Sunday. Will be sweet. I love the snow, it causes us to take a breath and hibernate. It is very calming. We will be enjoying our two grandchildren, Lyndi will be four in January and Jonah is 7 months old, so Christmas is truly a time of wonder.<br />
We will visit my mom in the nursing home, she has been there almost two months and still thinks she is coming home...a tough decision, but the best one for her.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I spent a couple of weeks working on my new <a href="https://www.facebook.com/QuillingBySandraWhite/" target="_blank">facebook</a> page.<br />
It has definitely been a challenge. I have not used facebook before because I really have no interest in sharing what I am doing now. But my son has convinced me that it will get my website out there and my quilling. So I am off to follow the trail.....so I am supposed to asked you to 'like me on facebook,' right?<br />
<br />
Anyways, this is a time for Good Cheer, and Happy Holidays to you and your family. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past thirty-eight, yes, 38 years of quilling.<br />
<br />
A little something to enjoy...<br />

<br />
The year seems to have passed so quickly, my last show for the year is next Saturday, and then we start all over again.<br />
<br />
It's been a good year for my shows and my website is really beginning to get orders. Check out my new <a href="http://www.quillingbysandrawhite.com/">website</a>. If anyone out there is looking for a really easy place to build a website for free, check out weebly. It is really simple with drop and drag, and it has an integrated shopping cart with paypal, meaning no need to code the buttons..........anyways check it out. I am so impressed that I decided to pay the $5 a month, less if you pay for the year, just because its worth it to me. They also offer a blog on the account so I may be moving there after the season is over.<br />
<br />
Anyways, here are a few photos for your Christmas shopping ideas.<br />

<br />
I have just joined <a href="http://www.ebsqart.com/">ESBQ Art</a>. It is a website where you show your work in your portfolio and then link to a shop or website you have somewhere so people can buy from you. It is an on-line gallery and I have found it very easy to work. This is my link to <a href="http://sandrawhite.ebsqart.com/">my portfolio</a>. Here is a quote from their site:<br />
<br />
"EBSQ is a creative community of artists, artisans, and photographers.We provide the tools. Just add art! Here at EBSQ, you'll find easy-to-use tools to help you take control of

new techniques. Join us today and see why EBSQ has been the premier
community for self-representing artists since 2000."<br />
<br />
I have signed up for the $89 per year membership and I believe it is going to be great for me. I have been looking for an "art site" for awhile, as my work is priced above most craft and is more fine craft and art than I find most sites offer. What I am wondering is if any of you quillers out there might be interested. Right now I am in the wildlife and animal art gallery, which is ok. But I would love to have a quilling gallery on the site. In order for them to consider a new category there must be three quillers with a significant body of work. Anybody out there? Please sign up if you are interested and maybe we can get a quilling gallery going.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my recent custom orders. The first is a Business Card which I did something fancy cutting with and added to the mat on my Monarch Butterfly. I made two of these as gifts for a new business grand opening. Really cool idea.<br />

These three custom keepsake wedding invitations were entirely different from what I usually see. And that is great because it means I get to be creative. And that is what it's all about.<br />

I love these earrings.......they are tiny, about a half inch long and coated to be water resistant. They are placed on a handmade card that has a quilled flower................Let me know what you think of them. I am selling them for $20 which includes the shipping.............<br />
<br />
Have a great week...........countdown to Christmas.<br />

Take Time to Enjoy the Little Things............<br />
and Christmas with family is certainly one of the bigger little things. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Now that the dust has settled.........The Sunapee Fair was its usual wonderful self. The sales were great and the friends that bought my work again were looking for new designs to add to their collections. And it is always nice to visit with all my craftsman friends. After twenty-five years, you truly develop friendships. Sunapee is a really different show, it is a membership organization and a nice community. We all trade with each other for our Christmas giving and most of what I receive in trade is for me. I have a great collection of handmade work from the best.<br />
My list of next year's designs has grown and I had many people give me new ideas. I can't wait to get started on them. I also arrived home to a pile of wedding invitations and a couple of special projects with poems and pictures. The pictures are below for you to enjoy.<br />
<br />
Now you might wonder what all this has to do with New Hampshire Home Magazine.<br />
<br />
I received in the mail today the latest copy of New Hampshire Home Magazine. I almost tossed it as I don't subscribe.................but then I remembered Sunapee. And the two ladies that chose a couple of my pieces to maybe be in their magazine......................and there they are! The Cardinal and the Heron are nicely displayed in the "From the Hand, From the Heart article. Wow! You always have that hope that your work turns up in a magazine, and it has, on occasion...............but a New Hampshire Home Magazine just in time for Christmas shopping! Made my day..............made my month...........<br />
wonderful Sunapee just got another kudo. Thanks to New Hampshire Home Magazine. I will add the link here when I find the new issue on the web.<br />

The Great Blue Herons that we see daily from ice out to ice in on the Merrymeeting River in Alton, New Hampshire, are the creatures that have touched my heart. And once you are touched by something from nature, it opens your eyes to everything else that nature provides. <br />
<br />
This is my first Blue Heron design. Just elegant and beautiful. <br />

My second design was the Blue Heron Turned. He is looking over his shoulder at me. I wonder what he is really thinking. Am I in HIS space....<br />
<br />

And then I decided that the Great Blue Heron needed to fly. It takes him some major efforts to get out of the water........and I have heard that when he flies up behind you while you are in a kayak you will remember him. Maybe not kindly, as he truly is bigger than life.<br />

<br />
The fourth heron design for me is the Heron Fishing. He was first designed for a large piece standing on the edge of the river with trees and mountains. He then moved to his own piece and here he is.<br />

<br />
This year I designed the fifth one...................He is standing and dreaming.........Heron on Watch..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mIOSLr0FOFU/Tp4Iu2BKEyI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/6vnuW4u7ItQ/s1600/P1040407.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mIOSLr0FOFU/Tp4Iu2BKEyI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/6vnuW4u7ItQ/s320/P1040407.JPG" width="270" /></a></div><br />
<br />
My new one for next year has already been designed. Its my Herons Together.<br />
<br />

<br />
I wonder what the next heron will be doing..........maybe his head will be in the water!<br />

In case you missed it last year, I have added lots of stuff this year. Check out my <a href="http://quillingbysandrawhite.com/" style="color: #93c47d;">website</a> on November 5, 6, 7 & 8 for my special pages and special prices.<br />
<br />
The ATTIC page has many pieces that I no longer make, or perhaps I have changed the design a little, or the frame........anyways, they are deeply discounted, some even at half off.<br />
<br />
The BOOKCASE page has lightly used craft books, craft pamphlets, Craft Report Magazines, field guides, book books, flower books, and other non fiction books. I also have a pretty large collection of magazines like More, Oprah, Traditional Home, Real Simple and a few lonely odd magazines................I am hoping someone wants the magazines by the box, as that is how I have priced them. They are cheap, around $1.00 each, it's the shipping that costs so I have included shipping -- why not check it out!<br />
<br />
The CLOSET page includes craft supplies, like new quilling paper, used frames, new pre-cut mats and a Christmas Ornament Quilling Kit that I put together a couple of years ago.<br />
<br />
I do hope you will check out my sale -- and when you check out, put <span style="color: red;">HAPPY</span> in the coupon code for an additional 10% off everything on my website, even my regularly priced quilling. It's my gift to you for being great friends.<br />
