UrbanAmish: April 2010
http://urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Working notes from a contemporary textile designer. Friday, April 2, 2010. And Happy Bunny Day! Since the beginning of this year it seems time has accelerated triple-fold. Not a day goes by without having one more UrbanAmish thought pop up in my head. But do I tell you about them? No, not at all! I looked and was aghast that my last post was three months ago! And I also need to confess that I really don't have another lesson fully ready to upload and share. And Twinkle does have it's quiet contemplative ...

UrbanAmish: Stripes Rule!
http://urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/2009/02/stripes-rule.html
Working notes from a contemporary textile designer. Friday, February 27, 2009. In my personal design book, stripes have a lot of ZING! I love their energy and I want to harness it to work for me in my fabric and quilt designs. My Dream Garden fabric line. Though seemingly demure avails itself joyously of this energy. In the meantime I thought I'd share these stripey thoughts. It has two compartments. This "Personal Idea Courier Pouch" gives my organizational loving soul quite a thrill. I didn't set out t...

UrbanAmish: Post Turkey Thanksgiving UrbanAmishThoughts
http://urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/2009/11/post-turkey-thanksgiving.html
Working notes from a contemporary textile designer. Monday, November 30, 2009. Post Turkey Thanksgiving UrbanAmishThoughts. It's been a wonderful year. What's made it so particularly wonderful is that I find myself in contact with so many alive, creative folks. People willing to take my fabrics and run with them. Or people with whom I can share a common goal and encourage me to give it my graphic best. This is my tribute to them and the power of collaborative friendship. Is an art longarm quilter. Du...

UrbanAmish: April 2011
http://urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Working notes from a contemporary textile designer. Thursday, April 14, 2011. I am amazed by the kindness of strangers. Two news items. Well, three. Number one, I have not abandoned the UrbanAmish Lessons projects. Time to work on it has just temporarily abandoned me. The next lesson will actually appear on my friend's Joan Hawley's, Lazy Girl design blog first and then I will post here with additional customized details appropriate for my UrbanAmish friends. I had made it to the top 100 finalist! And I ...

UrbanAmish: Size Does Matters: The UrbanAmish Core, Central Concept
http://urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/2009/03/size-does-matters-urbanamish-core.html
Working notes from a contemporary textile designer. Saturday, March 7, 2009. Size Does Matters: The UrbanAmish Core, Central Concept. The first block below represents an Indian Hatchet block 4" square finished size. This is the typical size given for the traditional version of this block. The second block represents an Indian Hatchet block 8" square finished size. This is the recommended Urban Amish size. It lets the fabric design breathe! But there are more advantages to an UrbanAmish block approach.
