Paisley’s World

Are you ready?

This Saturday and Sunday, Sept 13/14, the Quilters in SL are having a Studio/Shop hop.

What’s that?

Our homes, stores, and studio are open for you to come and ‘look around’. Many of us have quilts in our studios.. and we’d love to share our art with you!

I’ve also listed some vendors that have products with quilt patterns on them.. fun fun stuff! If you know of other stores with quilt things please post the LM in the comments.

ps… the other great thing about SL.. I don’t have to LOOK like a real life quilter… or.. maybe I do!

This just CRACKS ME UP!! I adore the creativity in SL… only here can we not only eat an icecream cone.. but we can DRESS and BE one!

Which color will YOU be? I’m partial to the chocolate versions… hehe!

And this is what you are looking for when you hit  AOHARU SIM, AOHARU (136, 112, 23)

Well I’m a creative sort… I live to make stuff in RL!

In SL I find LOADS of others who share this passion. I am the owner of the Quilters group and I belong to several other groups of people who make stuff… like knitters and crafters.

I’d LOVE to host a ‘shop/studio hop’ in SL. I want to find all the people who have knitting things, quilting things, crafting things for sale… like sewing machines, knitting needles… anyone have a scrapbook or stamp store?.

Do you make clothing or art that HAS this stuff in it? Like patchwork clothing, crochet granny square tops… maybe you have a scrapbook we can look at. Look back through my posts here to see clothing, looms, bags of knitting with needles..THAT is what I’m looking for. Items that look like the craft we do in RL.

So this is what you do next. Tell me what you have…

— I have a paint studio, a quilt store, I make knitting needles that work, I have a store with bolts of fabric, I have crocheted vests. Also give me the location of your studio or store in a comment here.

I’ll accumulate all the locations and then announce 2 days in August when we’ll all ‘hop’ to the locations and check them out!

Wow are WE a productive group! Zhu curated our SECOND quilt show in SL! It is hanging right now … so hurry on over to see it!

The quilts are hanging at

HollyJean sent me a link to ‘Int’l House Of Style’ where there are two quilts in the entrance to the store. One says it is Kenya applique, the other Pakistani patchwork. Both are awesome! so get on over to see them for yourself!

Callie had a BOGO for 10 minutes in her store the other day. I HAD to have this ‘Wild Child’ since the big ‘X’s look like cross stitches!. I forgot and had the white skirt from the post yesterday under the dress. Since it’s so full, it looks nice peeking out the bototm!—— dress Callie Cline

I’m sooooo loving hats in SL. I do NOT look good with a hat in RL.. only own one. But in SL I’m a FABULOUS hat wearer…woot woot!

First I have to Mashup quilting in RL and SL. If you have been following the quilters, you know we did a real life block swap with a group of the SL quilters who came to our first quilt meeting. Zhu has decided that we need to finish the blocks into quilts and have a show… woot woot!

So I got motivated this weekend… and I put the top together.. here is a photo of it with the flower auditions. And I have this quilt on my design wall… check it out on my NEW studio webcam!
