Why Quilts Matter will be at QuiltCon!

Hello 2015!

A collaboration with Rose Hughes
I first met Rose Hughes when I spoke at the BAQS Meetup at Fall Market 2013. Rose is an artist whose medium is quilting, and I love her work.

I had to laugh because, for a while, I had taken it as […]

Hi quilty business friends, it’s has come to my attention that the credentials required for getting a badge for Quilt Market, our industry trade show, have changed and become stricter. It may be a good idea to check and see if that applies to you, if you are considering attending the spring show in Pittsburgh. […]
