Tea time when quilters meet is a fun tradition, too. When I’ve visited my daughter’s quilting group, a cup of tea […]

With quilters and fabric artists concerned about others “borrowing” their designs and patterns, it’s nice to know that quilters’ etiquette exists…that some quilters ask permission to use photos and designs.
Some time ago, my daughter posted a photo of one of her original fabric art hangings on her blog with a description of how she created […]
