Patchwork Professional
I like keeping secrets! In January, I was contacted by Dorothee Crane who is the chief editor of the German Art Quilt magazine called Patchwork Professional. She had seen “Windblown” and she wanted to know if I would like to have my quilts featured in her magazine. Naturally, I said, “Sure!” A few months later,…

Spring 2012 Quilting Quarterly
The Spring 2012 issue of NQA’s Quilting Quarterly arrived in my mailbox last week. It spent several days sitting on my desk before I opened it. Emblazoned across the top of the page 9 says “Quilting with No Fear,” and below is a picture of me. Oh, dear! Me? No fear? I try to be…

IQA Journal Winter 2012
I just got my IQA (International Quilt Association) Digital Journal for Winter 2013. It has the award winning quilts from the 2011 IQA Judged Show in it. All I have to say is, seriously? When “Windblown” won the big award at the Houston quilt festival, they told me I would have to say a few…

What was I going to say?
Someone asked me what I was going to say at the IQA Luncheon last Wednesday, if I didn’t have a melt down like I did. Yes, I really did have something in mind, but I accidentally left my brain behind when I walked to the podium. Plus, my eyes have a habit of leaking when…

IQF Day 4
I’m definitely feeling my age now. I remember coming to Quilt Festival ten years ago or so, and staying the entire day from the moment it opened to the moment it closed. Today, I wore myself out around 4, so I hopped on the shuttle bus and headed back to the hotel. I told sweet…
