At some point in August I was cruising Instagram and a German quilter I’d recently followed posted a gorgeous quilt top she’d just completed. In terms of design, the quilt was really simple – six solid horizontal stripes stretching across the left third of the quilt, in purple, blue, green, red, orange, and yellow, and…

It’s sad that we’re in September now and I had to think back to when the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando took place. It’s a short news-cycle world we live in. At any rate, I asked the members of the Munich Modern Quilt Guild (oh, yeah, did I mention I started an MQG in…

When you’re new to quilting everything looks daunting.
