Wiksten pattern and fabric giveaway and quilting notions winner
I've often joked to my more sporty friends that summer is my indoor season here in sunny and humid North Carolina. It's hard for me to get motivated to even open the front door when temperatures are in the upper 90's and 100's as they have been lately. The garden gets super weedy for a couple ...
Pictures that move? You astonish me, sir!

How Rachel Weisz Proves The iPad Is A Game Changer
Esquire's moving cover from esquireuk on Vimeo. This might be the most important 13 seconds in publishing. I could go into a long-winded commentary about how this is the warning shot of a cultural wind-change... How the digital magazine experience can not only rival, but easily surpass the...
Wait, Dark Shadows? Now I'm kinda worried.

Iann Robinson: Tim Burton To Take On Sleeping Beauty's Main Baddie?
I don't know what's going on with Tim Burton but it seems like he's hellbent on only doing remakes or weird take offs of classic tales. There's been Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, the upcoming Alice In Wonderland and now it seems like the guy who almost ruined Batman is going to take a swipe at...
Are no media safe from this abomination? What's next, interpretive dance?

God Help Us All.....TWILIGHT, THE GRAPHIC NOVEL
I guess we had to know this coming and please to not kill the messenger on this. EW has the first imagines of the graphic novel based on the TWILIGHT series. I am pretty sure that Yen Press picked this style as instead of a more realistic style in hopes of capturing a younger (AKA Manga) cro...
Good points yes, but the real problem with Ugly Betty was its unsustainable plot escalation. There's only so much over-the-top evil a person can take before you can no longer suspend your disbelief and enjoy the show. Also, character development and growth was often thrown out the window for the sake of plot convenience. Those factors alone were enough for me to stop caring about UB before the second season was half over.
I've been wary of the same lack of long-term story planning on Glee and so far they don't seem to be falling into the same trap.
Though, I am totally on board about Jane Lynch singing, she's the anti-Glee. Of course, now that I've said that, I'm really curious to see how they pull it off.

Glee and The Ugly Betty Problem...
When UGLY BETTY showed up it was (rightly) heralded as a game changer for the network, for America Ferrara and for series television. A lot has happened since then, and BETTY's current situation (brink of cancellation) isn't entirely its fault. Economy changed, the networks changed, building a...
Seconded!

Suggest themes for our next fabric design contest?
I'm seeking theme suggestions for this week's fabric of the week contest (which will go out tomorrow morning). As you may have noticed, we've had a LOT of submissions for the last two themes (Christmas and Halloween). That makes it really hard to get the contest together each week, so -- in orde...
Obviously, I'm going to suggest Goth, or, more narrowly, Subversive Goth, (designs that seem perfectly mainstream until you take a closer look.)
Other ideas... Hmm...
How about designs inspired by fairy tales, mythology or vegetables? How about a contest just for doll panel fabrics?
