For the last few years, I’ve been a member of a quilty friends’ group and an art quilt group. I think I may have written about them before, because they are just an amazing group of women. I’m the youngest by about 20 years, which means I just soak up all the combined quilting knowledge […]
Designing for Pay: Continuing the Conversation
Abby Glassenberg of While She Naps has a great discussion about what designers actually get paid for fabric lines over at her blog. Some of you may remember the panel at QuiltCon ini 2013, which got a little testy when people asked them what they could reasonably expect for payment for a line. As a […]
Some finished quilts to share
Terri W. has sent me some lovely quilts to finish, and I can share a few now that they’re back with her! the first is an Echino improv quilt, based off a tutorial by Elizabeth Hartman (Terri added a mini border and sashing, and it turned out beautifully). She wanted something simple so as not […]

While some of it is still under wraps, I have a few things to share from the […]
Crayola Washable Markers and Quilt Marking, Technique of the Week
It’s been a hot topic on the professional longarm forums lately: what do we use to mark quilts? Blue pens that are water soluble? Purple pens that disappear in air? Washable pencils? On a whim, I decided to try the new “ultra clean” Crayola Washable markers, and to run a little experiment. My hypothesis: Crayola […]
What is (and isn’t) Modern Quilting, to ME
Quilts are done for the book, first draft of the manuscript has been turned in, and the revision process is just getting kicked off. I have a few more minutes in the day, though, to think about other things, and this topic has been on my mind a lot, since people are still talking about […]
