Creative Quilt Collection - Volume Two

We just received word from Martingale & Co. that one of our quilts from "Scraps of Time" was chosen to be included in their "Creative Quilt Collection - Volume Two." This is a fabulous honor and we are thrilled. Here is a photo of "Creative Quilt Collection - Volume One." Curious as to which quilt will be included??? Guess you'll have to purchase the book!

There's a New Man in Town!

We just discovered this wonderful new quilt magazine. The August issue, which is only the second to come out, recently hit the shelves. It's called Quilter's Home and is touted as a magazine for a new generation of quilters. It's clever, sassy, witty, funny...and already top of the list as one of our all time favorite quilt mags. The Editor-in-Chief is Mark Lipinski, an Emmy award winning producer who has worked on such shows as Oprah and The View, to name a few. We URGE you to run out and get this magazine immediately. We found it at our local grocery store. Help us help Quilter's Home stay around for a very long time. It's a refreshing change from the ordinary. You can find out more on-line at www.quiltershomemag.com. Enjoy the not so subtle difference. We know we will. ~ Amy & Ann
