CommuniCrafting

Austin has a pretty great crafty-people scene. This past Thursday I hopped down to the Austin Museum of Art to get my craft on and nibble some tasty tartlets too. (Oh, the tartlets were delish. Gone in seconds...so glad I grabbed one!)

Hoards of crafters converged upon the museum for the CommuniCrafting event to celebrate the  latest releases from Jenny Hart, of Sublime Stitching, and to try our hands at a number of different crafty pursuits. Folks from Austin Fiber Artists were there with needle-felting goodies, Leslie Bonell from Stitch Lab had some sewing-related fun, Rachel Hobson (Average Jane Crafter) showed me a thing or two about embroidery and Kathy Sever from Future Craft Collective had some delightful cut-outs of ponies and turtles that I forgot to sneak into my bag...

For a handful more photos from the event, take a peek at my Flickr set.
