Welcome!  Welcome! Welcome!  We have many new followers today and we are so glad you have joined us!  It seems you have found The Inbox Jaunt through Facebook and Tumblr–though it’s not clear where on Facebook our link was posted?   In any case, we’re glad you are here.  Please let  me know if you have any questions along the way…

Today is brought to you by the letter “L”…

I found this video by Joanne Sharpe recently.  Artful Lettering:  Tools and Techniques for Discovering Your Style

Of course, my style involves stitching…free motion quilting on my Bernina…(820 or 150)

The gist of the video is teaching you to use Your Style and Your Handwriting to develop a few fonts.  It barely mentions calligraphy words like “ascender” and “descender”.

I spent a few hours playing with letters…Now I have a million more ideas swirling in my head…

So many ideas…sew little time!

Quiltfully yours,

Lori
