New Book, New Inspiration

A couple of weeks ago I watched Alex Anderson interview Karlee Porter on The Quilt Show website.

I was so impressed with this young quilter (only 25 and still in college) that I ordered her book.  It's so full of creative ideas for machine quilting that I am really excited to try some of them out.

You can learn more about her on her website too, at:

One more thing!  If you are going to be in the northern Utah area before August 31st, I highly recommend stopping at the Brigham City Museum of Art and History and checking out the International Quilt Invitational Exhibition.  I went last year and it was amazing!  I can hardly wait to see what they have in store for us this year.  Gloria Loughman of Australia is the museum's Featured Art Quilter and Lea McComas of Colorado will be teaching a workshop on August 13th.  The museum's hours are:
Tuesday - Friday 11am-6pm
Saturday 1-5 pm     Admission is free.
