A couple of months ago, my family asked me what I wanted to
do for my 70th birthday. When I replied, ‘Launch my portfolio website' I think they were a bit surprised. It wasn't quite what they had in mind.
At the time I was
working really hard, preparing patterns to showcase on my website. And, according
to the timeline I’d worked out when the Surface Pattern Course ended in
February, I was due to have everything ready, website and all, by . . . June 9th,
my birthday!
Well, it’s been quite a close-run thing, first of all going
through, choosing and editing pattern collections and then going through them again,
watermarking and finding names for them – and inevitably finding a few more
things to edit.
As for the website itself, that was quite a nightmare and
there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth, not to mention the tearing my
hair out!
But, with more than a little help from my friends, it finally came together. And on a great wave of
confidence, I embarked upon updating my social networking pages, including this blog, to tie in
with the website, as you may have
already noticed!
So now it’s time for a fanfare and maybe a drum-roll too.
Because here it is –
Ta-dah!
my new
'Posh and Painterly' Portfolio website!

Fabulous portfolio, fabulous patterns. And I hope you have had a fabulously Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love it Judy - and the name, Posh and Painterly, is just perfect. You have some beautiful patterns.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tasha and Jayne. I had have a wonderful birthday but I probably won't need anything more to eat for about a week :)
ReplyDeleteGreat new website and pattern collection! My favorite is the poppy collection. Happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Judy! I love your designs. I am sitting here wishing I could get them in fabric to make a quilt! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathie - your comments mean a lot to me! I was pleased with the way the poppies turned out too. I think I'll be doing more collage in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal - glad you like my patterns. I'm just trying to get up the courage to send my portfolio to some quilting fabric companies :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new website! Very well done and impressive. I hope you are enjoying creating so many lovely designs to add to it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! :)
Thank you so much, Itaya - I'm completely addicted to pattern-making! And thank you for the birthday greetings too. Hope all's going well with you too :)
ReplyDeleteThe portfolio site looks great, Judy! I like that clicking on the thumbnails will bring us directly to Dropbox so we can download any patterns we like. I wish you could create labels for them though so we can have an idea about which collection we're headed to.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments and suggestions, Lucio. I did think about labels but they would take up space that could be occupied by pattern swatches - though I may have an idea how I could do it so that it wouldn't. I'll give it a try when I have time :)
