Matton and about 20 other members of the Annapolis Quilting Guild are participating in the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative, a grass-roots effort begun in January 2006 to increase […]
Don’t think you’ll ever be interviewed? Never say “Never!”
When I was a reporter for our local newspaper and a writer for quilting magazines, I interviewed quite a few quilters, both those who weren’t widely known and others who were Do don’t be surprised if what you’re doing is of interest to a reporter somewhere.

One of my biggest challenges in our multi-generational home is keeping organized for my writing, sewing, fabric art, scrapbooking and many projects. My daughter, also a fabric artist, has her nook that she tries to keep from getting too cluttered.
However, I’ve found some really neat ideas at The Domestic Diva’s Disasters‘ post, Sew Very Organized. […]
Cyndi at Layers Upon Layers created a superb piece of art in her September Morning Art Quilt . The autumn colors, the leaf shaped fabric pieces, the lace, the buttons and the sheet music combine perfectly into a bit of whimsy that truly reminds me of the days of September and October we just experienced in New […]

Cyndi at Layers Upon Layers announced, “I’m going on a beading retreat.“
Now I’ve heard of many types of retreats, but never one for beaders before. I’m looking forward to Cyndi’s report about her trip to this event about halfway across the USA from where she lives.
Quilters have begun to find beads important as embellishments in their […]

The upcoming issue of Quilting Arts Magazine mentions working on your quilting and fabric arts projects by doing your designing from the items around you. If you don’t have the inspiration or inclination to make the actual projects this summer, you can sketch, take photos, gather objects, and receive inspiration that you’ll later use in […]
As I was browsing around various blogs containing quilting references, I discovered Jafabrit’s Art and her spectacular Wooden Quilt Kimono. A coat of many colors!
I haven’t learned yet just how Jafabrit has constructed it. However, I clicked on the photo and got a close up showing the stitching between the pieces. This reminded me somewhat of crazy quilt construction.
