Who knew?
That the quilting adventure for today would include sitting on the floor of the City Quilter with this delightful quilter/artist? Well it did. Melly and I spent about 2 hours at the City Quilter looking at her printed fabric, talking patterns and trying out solids that might pair well.

New tagline – new focus
For several years now "Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" was the tagline in the header. It's true - quilting is a beautiful and complicated art - there are so many components, styles and ways of quilting. Quilting employs geometry in an artistic and in my opinion, intuitive way.
