Welcome to the first stop on the Oh Scrap blog hop.
Oh Scrap was just the working title for this book, but it stuck in a good way.

My how time flies.
As I was waiting for the release of my first solo book, Oh Scrap, I found myself a bit sentimental.

2 years ago I missed quilt market. Before that I had been to 56 consecutive quilt markets. 38 with Moda Fabrics and 18 as the buyer for the Olde Craft Store in Carrollton, Texas.
1980’s log cabin
Back in January, Carrie Nelson and I were on a road trip and stopped by to see Kimberly at The Fat Quarter Shop. Kimberly decided to start a series of Q& A with Kimberly videos and we were the guinea pigs. We had a great time visiting and answering questions from online viewers. I mentioned the log cabin quilt that I made back in the 80’s. I have had several people ask me to show the quilt so I dug it out of the playpen from my grandson’s house.

25 Years- American Patchwork & Quilting
Man oh man!!
Seems like yesterday.
Cliche but true.
The 25th Anniversary issue includes what Jody Saunders references as the DREAM TEAM.
She isn’t talking about the designers even though they are pretty darn special if I do say so myself.
I am NOT going to spoil who the dream team is. You will just have to see for yourself!
I have had the privilege of reading this magazine since the beginning when I searched for anything that had the word quilt in it or on it!
Then wam- bam, 25 years later one of my quilts was chosen to be in this publication
alongside some of my quilting idols and friends.
Mabeth Oxenredider
and Amy Walsh
This is one of my all time favorite quilts for many reasons but
mainly for the community that has shared their version of this quilt with me.
While I was making the quilt, I was probably cursing since it seemed like I was sewing for months with no end in sight,
but the final result has brought me such joy.
A very striking color option by Monique Dillard.
My second favorite pages are page 8 and 9.
These two pages are chock full of stats from the past 25 years.
The right hand page has a picture of all the issues from the past 25 years in one nice neat stack.
I can’t even begin to imagine all the great designs, products, articles, designers and fabrics that are featured in these pages.
The hours of inspiration, education and therapy that quilters have experienced just thumbing through the pages.
History!
Gives me goosebumps!
I want to give a shout out to Lori Eggers and Chris Neubauer.
I see your picture on page 9. It is nice to put a face to the names.
Great job, ladies!
Get this magazine on newsstands first week of Feb. and flip to page 4 to see the DREAM TEAM. I think you will agree!
Then see page 66 to make your own version of my Tone It Down quilt.
I am blessed.
