Fun note, I went to two high schools one for four years, one for two years. Our family moved between my sophomore and junior year and I attended my first high school for specific classes, and graduated from the second high school.

Lisa's Divide & Design class and technique does something really special, it shows the quilting decision making process like no other.

I met Laurie Tigner in Houston at Quilt Festival last year. I had exactly 2 minutes to say, "hello, lovely to see you, I'll try and drop by your booth again later." We all know how that part goes! We "met" on fb sometime before that and connected in a most fun way. I have… Continue reading An Interview with Laurie Tigner

Thinking I would not… Continue reading Quilt Festival
