Jazzing-Up Quilting

Great article from the Hartford Courant today featuring Denyse Schmidt and her unique improv approach to quilting. 

It's no secret how influential Denyse has been to me. Almost a year ago, I got to attend one of her amazing improv workshops. If you can find a way to make it to one of these, you should make the effort! It's extremely worthwhile and fun. Here's Denyse's website and the listing of all of the workshops she has coming up. Sign up now - they sell out quickly!

Also, while we're talking about Denyse, there's a huge push on the web now to petition FreeSpirit Fabrics to run a reprint on Denyse's out-of-print Flea Market Fancy fabric line. I don't know why I never picked any of this up when it was originally available, but I'd definitely buy a stash of it if they run it again. Go to the Sew Take a Hike blog to help make it happen!
