Food and recipes seem to accompany quilters and constitute an important part of their life, along with their quilting activities. Pioneer quilters shared recipes and served food at their quilting bees. In the evening families often joined them for supper and a social event.
Nowadays, quilters put together cook books and share recipes at their get-togethers. We […]
One of my readers mentioned she’s attempting to make a baby blanket for her niece from a pre-printed panel. She wants to hand stitch the design.

Another morning she was watching one by Alex Anderson as she interviewed the editor of Quilting Arts magazine.
Podcasts are becoming popular, these video type clips on the […]

The most recent recipe is for Buttermilk Noodle Pudding, which seems to be a […]
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 […]
