Josh Johnson’s post, Button, Button, Who’s Got the Button?, at Junk Creation, got me thinking about button storage over the years. Josh shows a picture of the jar his wife uses for her buttons. Quilters have long been collectors of buttons, left over from times ago when every button was precious and useful for replacing lost […]
“Fabrics are a great source of inspiration,” mentions Lyn Briggs at her blog, Moore Patchwork & Quilting. (Scroll down to the section labeled “Inspiration.”)
This got me thinking of the ways quilters and fabric artists enjoy fabrics and create lovely works of art from them. Quilters can’t resist buying fabrics. They collect colorful stashes, and find many […]
I discovered The Quilt of Life at Christian Crafter and have put it on my “must read” list. This book, a patchwork of devotional thoughts, was written by by Mary Tatum .

Graphic designer, Jessica Jones also provides a tutorial for the hangings and book marks, actually relatively simple to create, […]
As we work with color for our quilting and fabric art projects, we may find ourselves selecting the same or similar color combinations over and over. Why does this happen?
When I was making quilts to sell, left to my own choices, I usually selected colors I liked, which, when you learn about color schemes, were the […]
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 […]
I hadn’t realized tea towels (sometimes called dish towels) were so popular among collectors, quilters, and fabric artists until I read a mystery novel where the heroine visited a shop run by an acquaintance.
