    Last Tuesday, August 24th, I headed down to one of my favorite places to “hang out”, Log Cabin Fabrics!  This shop is so far off the beaten path, that one wonders how they ever have any customers.  Never fear, us quilters can find ANY shop, even the ones ‘out in the country’!  And to prove…

    There’s nothing I love more than to go on a shop hop with my quilting friends!  We talk, we laugh, we shop, we eat, and then we do it all over again!  And that’s just what happened on our latest hop PLUS, we had the pleasure of meeting one of our favorite quilt designers, McKenna…

    I just returned from a wonderful road trip with three of my quilting buddies and I’ll tell you all about it soon, I promise!  However I wanted to pass along a picture that was sent to me from a quilter, Victoria of Pine Mountain Club, California, who made these four gorgeous Painted Ladies.  They are…

    Have you noticed that there are a LOT of new fiction books on the market about quilting and mysteries?  Isn’t it great!  I, for one, love these books, and can see why they are popping up everywhere.  Afterall, quilting has become such a large business, AND a large number of us LOVE to read, (especially…

    The Painted Ladies are still going strong! I’m still getting orders, both retail AND wholesale, for all four them!  I must say, they are very special to me, being my first ‘published’ patterns.  And I want to thank ALL of you who made one or more of them, and hope you enjoyed them as much…

    This wonderful Quilt Shop is located along the Mohawk Trail in western MA, just east of Greenfield and before Shelburne Falls.  BTW, make sure to visit Shelburne Falls after you check out the quilt shop.  It’s a sweet little village with the "falls", the flower bridge and lots of little deli’s and other fun shops…

    My first distributor!  Woo Hoo!  I am really looking forward to this ‘relationship’ and the prospect of generating more buyers for my patterns.  I believe that there are aspects of any business now-a-days that should be passed on to others . . . . promoting and distributing patterns is a definite plus for me!     Just…

    They’re here!  I’m so excited to offer these little Ladies to quilters, AND the apron was a last minute add on.  I’m thinking that it will be a BIG hit, especially since aprons seem to be an ‘in’ thing with quilters recently. Anyway, I’m half way through the marketing process for the Shop Ladies; first…
