How wonderful is it to meet up with someone you have come to admire from what you’ve read on the internet? That’s what happened for me at Houston Quilt Market. Krause Publications author Maggie Ball of Dragonfly Quilts was at Market and our paths crossed several times, but it wasn’t until I returned home that I tied her together with her efforts to bring quilting and home industry to Mongolia, a project that I’d admired when I found it surfing the web.
Her new book is a treasure, Bargello Quilts with a Twist, and Maggie has also designed fabrics for David Textiles, in addition to traveling and teaching. I believe that I talked her into starting a blog – stay tuned!
Quilters, don’t we all just *love* a behind the scenes peek and now C & T Publishing is giving us a peek into their world. Welcome to blogging C & T!
I’ve always been partial to Jodi Barrows’ Square In a Square techniques. She puts on a good show at Quilt Market and now she puts on a good show right on her website. It looks like she’s figured out “patchwork perfection” and made it easy with her new Crosscut Rulers. Check out her video demonstration of the rulers, her new line of fabric, and her new book “Moving On With Diamonds”.
The silks were the first thing that stopped us at Della Quimby’s booth and the Vietnamese Sewing Project was the second. della Q introduces fabrics and more at Spring Quilt Market.
Diane Knott announces the creation of her fabrics for Clothworks, called Cheep Housing.

This is a cute blog, a fun read, really professional photography, a few free patterns and awesome fabrics designed by Heather. Check out the baby booties on her Flickr and the free pattern she gives away to make them!
