UPDATE: Alex and Ricky are going to "Bee" upcoming guests. This will give you the chance to learn more about Alex and Ricky and to see where they create.

From the Quilt Alliance:

StoryBee is a new members-only web series from the nonprofit Quilt Alliance. It's a way for us to say "thank you!" to our members and to come together to enjoy stories from prominent quilt lovers across the country (and the world). Why StoryBee? Just like you'd bring your best thimble and your best stories to a quilt bee, we want to bring you little slices of life from across the quilt world.

We hope you enjoy our first episode featuring Victoria Findlay Wolfe, and hosted by Frances O’Roark Dowell! If you'd like to see all the great StoryBee interviews we have coming up (with Carolyn Crump, Marin Hanson, Carolyn Mazloomi, Luana Rubin, Julie Silber, Nichole Wilde and others), make sure to join or renew your membership today. And if you have a guest you'd like to see on a future episode, be sure to let us know!

To sweeten the deal, Victoria Findlay Wolfe has donated a special Valentine’s Bundle, and one lucky member will win it in our March 1 drawing. Join the Quilt Alliance today and support our efforts to document, preserve and share our quilt community history, saving the stories of quilts and their makers.

You hear all about the who's who in the quilting world and their fabulous quilts. They inspire us and make us dream of recreating their designs in our someday quilts. But, I am truly amazed by that quilter who is sitting right next to me and is quietly making a quilt of their own design. I love making quilts and am a great quilt customer, but when I am sitting next to a friend who is designing and making a quilt from their own imagination...well...it opens up the possibilities in my own quilting heart. And so, I was stitching with a small group of stitchers in my hometown, when Sue brought out her stitching. It was enchanting, imaginative and sweet and I couldn't stop asking the how and why of her process. She is making these Counting Quilts, as she calls them, for future members of her family. My take away from all my questions was, don't rush the process (project) and put love and laughter into each quilt!
