Last year I went to the European Patchwork Meeting in the Val D’Argent in Alsace, France, to buy my longarm. I wanted to take at least one more longarm class before agreeing to plop down all my savings on one and this was the nearest show to me (about a five-hour drive). I knew nothing…

The Spiderweb Quilt

I ended my last post with a bit of a cliff hanger. You won’t believe what happened next (ok, you probably will believe what happened next). “Every quilt top deserves to grow up into a finished quilt!” Before I begin, I encourage you to join my mailing list (just wait for that Hello Bar to…

Last month I hit the road towards Alsace, France, to attend the European Patchwork Meeting. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it didn’t really matter all that much because I was going there to buy stuff: I was going to pick up a roll of batting I’d ordered from a vendor in the Netherlands,…

So you know how your mother always tells you not to talk to strangers? I’ve met (and not met) some of the nicest people online, all of whom were, at one point or another, complete strangers. There was the time I went to New York with two people I’d only known online, and we stayed…

I’m still winding down from the Festival of Quilts and thought I’d tell you a little about it. I went to the Festival for the first time last year, at which point I had been quilting for less than a year, and it is safe to say that I was completely overwhelmed by what I…
