Issue 68, A Needle Pulling Thread - Inspired by Geometrics

You can also purchase the print version at newsstands and specialty shops near you.

This wonderful, Canadian publication is full of inspiring projects and I’m thrilled that my quilt, Desert Dawn is one of them! 

We were given the prompt of "Inspired By Geometrics" as the starting point for our submissions.

I've always loved science, art, and ancient history so I chose the geometry and mysterious nature of the pyramids as my inspiration for this quilt.

I hope that you enjoy making the Desert Dawn quilt and remember, I love to receive photos of your work!

A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine Issue 66 - All My Love Postcards

I am thrilled to have my work featured in issue 66 of 

A Needle Pulling Thread magazine, Inspired by Postcards, now available for purchase in both printed and digital formats.

Fabric Postcards are fun to make, fun to receive and can be sent through the mail just like a regular postcard.

Their small size makes these mini works of art the perfect project to experiment with new techniques.

We were given a variety of subjects for inspiration.

Mine was "From The Heart".

A Needle Pulling Threads Magazine issue 57 Making Words With Quilting

 

Exciting news!

My project Making Quilting With Words has been included in Issue 57 of A Needle Pulling Thread Magazine.

You can purchase this wonderful publication as a subscription, individual magazine or digital download by clicking on the link.

A Needle Pulling Thread Issue 57

This fun project incorporates Free Motion Quilting and machine Trapunto to add a sentiment to a decorator pillow.

Of course the same technique works beautifully to add words to your quilts and other projects.

I originally chose the word Dream as inspiration to follow your dreams and encourage pleasant dreams.

Though this still holds true I think it now has the added meaning of hope for a future when we will once again be able to spend time with our friends and families, travel and attend large gatherings (especially quilt shows and conferences)

I also dream of a kinder, gentler world where we are all truly equal while we celebrate our differences.

Finally, I dream that you will enjoy creating this project and that it will bring you happiness.

Have you made this project?
