#1. You never know when working with other designer's fabrics how they will feel about the quilt you design. Chopsticks was my first time working with Josephine Kimberling's fabrics and when she e-mailed me back to tell me... "I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the quilt you designed!!!!! You do such beautiful work!!" I knew that I had come up with a perfect design! Josephine blogged about my quilt this week. She is headed to Surtex next week so wish her lots of good luck!
#2. Check out Fat Quarterly. They did a Q&A with me and you have a chance to win one of three awesome prizes.
