Please join me in welcoming a Guest Blogger to the Quilting Gallery. Find out how you can be a Guest Blogger. Thanks Michele for allowing me to share my love of quilts especially antique quilts and quilt history. If this sounds like a dry topic — think again. Did you know that at one time [...]

My daily life is filled with quilts and fabrics as a designer of both. But my love of quilts and fabrics began many years ago. It seems like I have always been drawn to needlecraft. My earliest memories are filled with sewing of some kind – including a shoebox of small doll clothes that I [...]

Hello everyone, My name is Debbie Maddy and I live in a small town in north Texas with my husband of 38 years. We have two grown sons. Probably like many of you, I learned to sew as a young girl. I did all kinds of needlework and was a garment sewer until 1982 when [...]

Twenty-five years ago, I checked out a book on quilt making. There were few quilting books being printed back then, and only one or [...]

Author to Turkish Delights to Appliqué, Bended Bias Appliqué and Quilted Fairie Tales. Thanks Michele for having me as Guest Blogger this month, it’s such an honor, and a warm welcome to all the bloggers out there for taking the time to read about a slightly compulsive little girl turned professional quilter by chance! As [...]

Quilting is so personal to me. From the reason why I started quilting to the reason I quilt today, quilting is personal. In my 15 years of being the editor of Better Homes and Gardens American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, I heard lots of reasons why people started quilting and why they continue. For me, [...]

My name is Cathy McKillip and I have been the owner of Wish Upon A Quilt for the last 9 months. After spending 20 years in the corporate world (healthcare and software development), I decided to take the plunge (I’m also a scuba diver) and follow my passion-fabric, quilting and sewing! I am excited that [...]
