:: February 9, 2006 Quilting Resources
Recently I plugged "quilting" into the iTunes podcast search to see if anything came up. Something did, and it's been my commuting companion ever since. It's Quilting Stash by Annie Smith, a teacher of the quilting arts who lives in California. She is more of a traditionalist, but her podcast covers topics that any stripe of quilter can relate to: stash management and workspace design, buying sewing machines, quilting instruction, internet resources, you name it. She has a lovely and comforting voice too. Quilter's Buzz has become a daily visit for me of late, ever since proprietress Gina posted the first pictures of Denyse Schmidt's soon-to-be released fabrics. She'll have the first peek at the new Amy Butler line as well. Aside from the fabric previews and design world scuttlebutt she has lots of great pointers on tools, techinques, workshops, books, and lots more. I'm thinking of checking out my local quilt guild to see what goes on there. I'm scared, but at the very least it should make for an interesting blog post. I'm entertaining the idea of entering a quilt to show in this year's show -- the deadline for entries is in July so maybe I can come up with a candidate before then. posted by in Podcasts , Quilting :: Comments (5) :: link
