First off I am writing this from a hotel lobby in Stockholm which is pretty exotic I hope you’ll agree! I didn’t get time to write this before I left but figured I would have a little downtime when I could fit it in. I am here for the weekend to teach at Rikstacket’s annual …
As most of you will know I was very busy this weekend hosting the third annual Stitch Gathering!

Those of you who attended Festival of Quilts this year and stopped at the Love Patchwork and Quilting stand may have seen the launch of a brand new quilting magazine from the same publishers. If not then let me tell you a little bit about it, and stay tuned for a fantastic subscription offer at …
