Ever wanted to be part of a world record?

One of the unexpectedly awesome things about being an Ambassador for BERNINA is that I meet some seriously talented and cool people. Last year, I got to meet and become good friends with Jenelle Montilone of TrashN2Tees and getting to know her has been one of the greatest things about the last year. She’s cool, she’s funny, […]

Books for the Quilting Geek: History edition

With the holidays coming up, I thought I’d share some of the books I have in the current rotation that I find to be beautiful, inspirational, and educational.  They make good gifts, that’s true, but they’re also a good excuse to set some quiet time aside for yourself.  I confess I have a slight addiction […]

Hoppin’ for Amanda Murphy’s Free-Motion Quilting Idea Book

And so it begins, sometimes: the vast expanse of a quilt before us, the anxiety of figuring out where to start and what to do feels overwhelming and freezes us in place. We stare at it, wander away, and get a cup of tea, wander back, stare some more.  Sound familiar?  We’ve all been there. As […]

Quick Change Blog Hop and Giveaway!
