As I mentioned yesterday, I really feel like Collection 3 for Quilt Theory is something special. As noted in one of Cheryl Brickey's Quilt Theory Designer Corner Posts, a big part of the pattern development process of Quilt Theory is in physically testing the patterns for each other. For Collection 3, I had the pleasure of pattern testing Skydust for Stephanie...

That is just one of connections that Making Connections, a new free motion quilting book by Dorie Hruska, makes! I was immediately drawn into Dorie's writing style and teaching method because she encourages...

For a little over a year, I kept myself from working on transparency designs. I thought a lot about whether or not I would want to write a book and so instead of creating all the ideas and designs in my head, I filed them away and decided to think for a while. After a lot of thought, I...
