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,…

Product Review: Batik Resist Mediums
My faithful mailman delivered the June/July 2012 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine to me yesterday. This is their “Staycation” issue, and there are lots of ideas of things you can try this summer. I especially liked Lyric Kinard’s article on finding your voice as an artist. That’s a journey I’ve been on for quite some…

Review: The Complete Photo Guide to Art Quilting
I got a special gift in the mail this week. I’m rather addicted to books, especially ones with lots of pictures. The Complete Photo Guide to Art Quilting by Susan Stein will make a nice addition to my bookshelf, but first it will live by my couch for a while so I can leaf through…

Product review: Lapel Stick
I got my April/May 2012 Quilting Arts Magazine in the mail yesterday, and quickly flipped through it to find my “Quilt Queen.” Rather self-centered, I know! But, I confess, it is always fun to see something you’ve done in print. Now that I’ve seen for myself that it’s really there, I can take my time…

Exile and giveaway
Exile. How sweet the word! Sweet hubby and I decided to exile ourselves this week. Away we flew in Dad’s RV, away to a nearby, not-to-be-disclosed location, away from phones, away from email, away from the rest of the world. We got to our destination, plugged in, and hunkered down. Yes, there was snow on…

Product review: deColourant
The December 2011/January 2012 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine came out. It has my product review of deColourant and deColourant Plus. The article summarizes the discoveries made during my play day with Lisa Quintana, Susan Pickrell, and Debra Bentley. In short, deColourant is a fun product to play with, but it requires some experimentation to…
