In northern climates, we’ve been experiencing colder weather and snow. So as February reaches the mid-mark, our thoughts begin to turn to” spring and flowers and sun. Julie of Big Horn Quilts in Greybull, WY mentions this in her newsletter and got me thinking about the longer days, flowers, and warmer weather that’s coming before […]
Many quilters use e-mail and print newsletters to share their news and work. These newsletters vary in style and content, depending on the quilter/fabric artist’s talents and what she wants to share.
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 […]
Throughout the years of quiltmaking, the Bible has influenced women and their quilting…in their daily lives and their handiwork. In the History of Quilts Newsletter, we learn more about this topic and quilt block series Judy Anne Johnson Breneman is designing, called Bible Quilt blocks.
I find this web site, Womenfolk, which contains much information about America’s […]
We sometimes think it’s difficult to see our quilting when the lighting is poor or our eyes are tired. What if we couldn’t see at all?
Some quilters, like Tanya, who is blind, have developed techniques to help them with their quilting art. She passed along some of her tips, which, as she says, any quilter […]
As I browsed around looking for various types of quilting and fabric, my attention was caught by Kiwiquilts Ltd (www.kiwiquilts.co.nz ) operated by Mary Metcalf. Here you’ll find information, quilts and fabric of New Zealand, as well as some from Australia.

The most recent recipe is for Buttermilk Noodle Pudding, which seems to be a […]
Kaye Wood’s Quilting Newsletter for Sept. 12 contained some interesting information on the early history of quiltmaking. We often think of quilting and patchwork occurring in the early days of our country and possibly dating back to Europe.
However, according to the information here, quilts go back to early Egypt and China. Kaye’s newsletter mentions that “The earliest recorded
quilted garment was found on a carved, ivory figure of a pharaoh, dated to
be from around 3400 BC!”
We also learn […]
Quilting newsletters and magazines are very valuable to quilters and fabric artists to answer questions, keep them up to date, and inspire them. You’ll eventually find your favorites, yet will still want to know about new ones.
Periodically, I mention here those I enjoy and new ones I discover.
I just received my latest e-mail issue of […]
One of the online quilting newsletters I receive is Quilt Connections, edited by Sandra Hatch, also editor of the print publication, Quilter’s World. I just received the current copy of Quilt Connectins and find it full of information.
Sandra tells about participating at the Grand Lake Stream Folk Festival by overseeing the quilt tent as she […]
