Stop! Look! Listen! Find out what regulations are involved if you decide to start selling some of the quilted and fabric art items you make, teach workshops, hold shows, open a fabric shop, etc.
Will there be regulations that restrict you from doing this from your home? Or in another location? Will you need a business license? […]
Quilting poems and stories have great appeal. Why not write some of your own? Or share those you write? I often work with youngsters in poetry writing. We find the acrostic form frequently is easiest for them to start with.

Chloe Findlay-Harder, over at Tangled Thread, is creating with yo-yo’s again, one of those favorite little decorative pieces that quilters and fabric artists enjoy. She needs your help in determining whether her yo-yo Christmas wreath is too busy.

This is the Christiansen family in […]
I never realized there was so much to learn about needles and thread until I began to read the Superior Threads newsletter and browse around the site. Thread was thread…perhaps with a few variations…for a long time for me.
Then I began to realize different threads gave various effects and some lasted longer than others. The needles […]
I discovered today, a most amazing crazy quilt with it’s history, at Fiber Fantasies’, History In An Antique Quilt post. The author purchased the quilt at an estate auction, then went on to research the history of the quilt, the home, and the quiltmaker. She explains:
I was unaware of this home’s history [located in Cedarville, […]
Remember, I mentioned in an earlier post about interviewing, that you never know when you may be interviewed. Gayla McCord, the Channel Editor here at the Lifestyles Channel interviewed me for At Home for the Holidays with b5media Lifestyles Channel.
