Quilting Arts Magazine - huh?

I admit I have a love/hate relationship with Interweave the publishers of Quilting Arts, but come on, anyone would have to laugh at this.  How can a digital edition of a magazine be out of stock?

DVD & Book Reviews: Fabric Photo Play by Julia C. Wood & Making Faces with Maria Elkins

I got lots of great feedback on my portrait quilt of my friend John and requests for more information on the subject.

John's quilt is the third quilt I have made using the method described in the book Fabric Photo Play by Julia C Wood.  I am not sure where it is available for purchase now, but I am pretty sure if you contact the author she will be able to direct you.  It is published by AQS and at the time I purchased it, cost $20.

Text hell

HIs there anyone out there who hasn't sent stupid nonsensical texts?  Alan once told me to stop texting him unless I proof read them first as most of them made no sense at all.  For a bit of a laugh, you should check out these texts http://funkypickens.com/25-funny-auto-correct-fails/ that were not proof read by their writers before being sent to the recipient.

KANTHAS

As luck would have it, my trip to the Crafts Museum in Delhi, co-incided with an exhibition of kantha textiles from Murshidabad, West Bengal.  I had never heard of kanthas before, but it soon became clear that they were a form of quilt.
