Katie's quilt was inspired by fall leaves and strawberry plants. Would you have guessed that?

It's Mother's Day today in the US - and we think every woman deserves a gift. We found an artist in the USA who designs and makes these wonderful and functional "quilting tools".
We recommend this lively, cheerful, and funky oversized mug because it holds plenty of whatever beverage you choose to drink while you work (we don't judge!) and is covered with colorful hashtags with quilty phrases to keep your quilting & social media juices flowing. Designed and printed in the USA, it is also dishwasher and microwave safe.
It's just fun. Because it is artisanal we have a limited quantity.

Faith Jones at WeAllSew.com loves to take traditional quilt blocks and re-imagine them in new and fresh ways. She might "over simplify" the design, play with the colors, or change the scale of the block. In this tutorial, she "supersizes" her quilt block. She starts with a 12" block and ends up with a 48" x 48" quilt.

We had seen You Know What? by Hiroko Miyama before, but at the Paducah show it was placed on the end with other winners and it was easy to get close and admire the work. Well, it was easy to see if we came before the show opened, because it was swarmed after that. Hiroko Miyama used Applipiecing, Fused Appliqué, Broderie Perse, Hand Dyeing, Machine Embroidery, Free-Motion Quilting, and Thread Painting to make a scene that is beautiful in its shading and movement...and, just look at the sky and the flowers and...

As part of the Quilt Alliance's 25th anniversary, the nonprofit is holding a week-long celebration of mothers. QA members are invited to share a photo showing them with their mom (or anyone who has served that role in their life) along with a short message about their honoree.
How to participate in the Mother's Day StoryShare:
To submit a StoryShare, first visit their website to:
Donna Sue Groves has been a Quilt Alliance member since she and her mother, Maxine Groves, were interviewed for the nonprofit's oral history project, Quilters' S.O.S. - Save Our Stories (QSOS) in 2008. In her QSOS interview, archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, Donna Sue talks about being imprinted by quilting as a child as she watched both her maternal and paternal grandmothers work on geometric designs and hand appliqué. Her late mother Maxine was also an accomplished quiltmaker, but Donna Sue's interest in quilting took her down another path. Inspired by her mother's quilting, she suggested they paint a colorful quilt square on their drab tobacco barn, and the Quilt Barn Trail project was born.
My mother, Nina Maxine Green Groves was the inspiration behind the Quilt Trails across the United States and Canada. The first official quilt trail was hung 2001 in Adams County, Ohio. Now, 1000's of quilt squares adorn barns, buildings, silos, buildings, businesses, mailboxes and homes throughout 43 states. My mother is also a prominent focus in Julianne Donofrio "Pieced Together" documentary film about the American quilt trail movement.
