Displaying quilts and fabric art often presents a challenge. Do you drape, fold, or hang the item? Once you’ve decided that, you must determine where.

To climax National Quilt Month (March), Judy Howard, of Buckboard Quilts, is designating March 29 as Charity Quilt Day.
“This is a campaign to raise awareness and funding for the sacrificial volunteer work of hundreds of thousands of quilters who provide quilts for sick babies, orphans, homeless people, nursing homes, cancer and Alzheimer’s patients, soldiers and […]
Old quilts have always fascinated me…those made by family members and others. I don’t have a large collection, but enjoy the ones I’ve accumulated, whether given to me as gifts, hand-me-downs or purchased.
I only wish I had a place to display more of them. Our multi-generational home (hubby, daughter, son-in-law, two grandchildren, dog and assorted […]
It’s not too early to jot down 2007 quilt and fiber arts shows on your calendar. See if they fit in with your travels or days off from work. My daughter has at least two she likes to visit each year, so tries to find their dates a year ahead…or at least by the time […]

The artists are displaying the finished pieces as the Round Robin Collection at their exhibit at the Artistic Roots Art Center at Campton, NH. Beth also has photos of these for […]
Linda Cantrell’s workshop, Still Life With Bottles, at the World Quilt and Textile Show sounded fascinating to my daughter, so she decided to take it. The hanging she started at the show is coming along nicely and is something different from anything I’ve seen.
I mentioned Linda Cantrell’s workshop in a previous post (http://www.quiltingandpatchwork.com/2006/08/21/quilters-private-retreat-attending-a-quilt-show/ ), but I didn’t […]
My daughter experienced what she called her “own private retreat,” consisting of two days at the World Quilt & Textile Show. She attended a lecture, took a day-long quilting workshop, browsed through the displays and vendors’ booths, and enjoyed a relaxing overnight at the hotel.
This is the type of excursion only quilters understand, an opportunity to […]
