Cell phone cameras and sampler quilts

My Quilt Addicts Anonymous 2014 BOM quilt is on the longarm right now. It’s been on the longarm for three weeks, and I’m just over halfway done. While owning a longarm is on my quilting bucket list, along with having a sewing studio large enough to fit one, right now the only way I can […]

Check out Leah Day’s podcast! I’m on it this week …

I will do interviews with local media any day of the week. Our brick and mortar shop is kind of the weak link when it comes to net revenue in the Quilt Addicts Anonymous brand. It makes money, but barely, and I know every time I chat with a local reporter, that number goes up […]

Chiaverini makes women central players in history in ‘Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule’

History is written by men and in most cases they minimized or completely ignored the critical role women played in shaping the events of the past. Chiaverini corrects this in her latest novel released last week, “Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule.” A mix of well researched fact and imagined fiction to fill in the gaps […]

Chiaverini supports Project Linus by letting readers chose the twins’ gender

Jennifer Chiaverini is as civically minded as the characters in her book. At the Midwest Writing Center luncheon in Davenport, Iowa, Chiaverini joked about how readers were just dying to know the gender of Sarah’s twins and that Sarah’s pregnancy was really just a regular nine-month gestation period, even though she’s been pregnant for several […]

Children’s quilts tell the stories of our lives

Quilts are important because they tell the stories of our lives, and that’s the message I’m trying to get across with the Children’s Quilts exhibit at the Quad-City Botanical Center which I curated for the Misssissippi Valley Quilters Guild. The quilt show features more than 20 quilts with a mix of modern, antique and not […]

Christmas fabric exchange reveal, sorta

Way back in 2011 (I know 2012 is only 25 days old, but it seems longer) I participated in a holiday fabric exchange hosted by Quilting Under the Influence. My quilt still isn’t finished, but the top is pretty much put together, which is saying something for me and my tendency to move from one […]
