"I bought your book about being a traveling quilt teacher, adapted your contract and Voila!  I am now giving a show, lecture, and class to the Living Heritage Museum in Athens, TN.  Your writing was just what I needed.  I’m getting paid for my passion -- art quilting."   Kristy Moeller Ottinger

Quilters love what we do. There is something that feeds the soul when we handle cloth, a thrill that happens when we create something wonderful and beautiful. Some of us love quilting enough that we want to share it. Some of us love it enough that we need to figure out a way to finance our obsession. Some of us love it enough to make it our full-time profession.
