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.
The next question…“What […]
Chloe, at Tangled Thread, called my attention to the magnificent Quilt of Belonging that represents the many cultures and diverse people of Canada, made by quilters and artists throughout the country. It’s 120 feet long and 10 feet high and currently is on tour.
You’ll find a photo of this quilt of many blocks at Chloe’s blog. […]
Beth continues to make “inchies” for herself and for trading in her group. In addition to being fascinating little pieces of art, they’re a way to experiment with new techniques without wasting a great deal of fabric and art materials.
These are inchies she made to send as trades.
A friend was looking at these and suggested […]
One of my daughter’s favorite magazines for ideas and updates is Cloth Paper Scissors. The current issue (July?August 2007) contains more than 50 pages of mixed media techniques. There’s also an article, “A Year Captured in Fabric,” about fabric collage journaling.
If your quilting interests have taken you into the quilting and mixed media arts world, you’ll find […]

Generally you use e-mail newsletters if you want to reach quilters beyond the area where you live. If you have an online shop, or traditional […]
My daughter and I browse through the second hand store in our little town for quilting “treasure.” Sometimes we find clothing for the children, mittens for cold weather, an interesting dish or cup, cook books, and other odds and ends.
When we stop by, the owners remark, “You’re having a mother/daughter outing,” and laugh because we often make […]
Cyndi Lavin collects old fabrics, something I discussed in a previous post. So I asked Cyndi what she did with these old fabrics and found she has some interesting ways to utilize them, whether in quilts or mixed media art work.
Cyndi also writes a b5media blog about multi media art, Layers Upon Layers (www.layersuponlayers.com) She says […]
My daughter seeks out quilting calendars and particularly likes the one produced by Quilting Arts magazine. She also entered their contest this year for calendar selection. Her fabric art entry was one of the 30 selected in the first selection. We all were thrilled even though she didn’t make the final 13 used for the 2007 […]
Our ancestors gathered at one another’s homes to finish quilts, chat, and share recipes. This was a social outing as well as a work time. Sometimes the ladies finished their own quilts; sometimes they contributed to a quilt to give as a gift. They often put a quilt on a quilting frame and all joined in to […]
