Saturday Sep 22, 2012
We're on a roll! Two episodes in a row in the design series. Yippee! In this episode, we follow up our discussion about shape with conversation about form. And we leave you with some more existential questions to keep you awake at night. I also talk about some new apps I've been trying out, my trip to Keepsake Quilting, and do some listener feedback.
For Jaye's supplemental blog post, visit http://www.artquiltmaker.com/blog.
Apps mentioned in this episode:
My Inventory (Droid)
Itemizer / Itemizer Jr.
MyStuff2 Lite
iStorage--when I downloaded this app, it was called iStorage. It has since changed its name (since there's an iStorage app that's cloud storage), and is now called Items & Storage & Inventory Lite.
