6 Stranded Cotton	The Joy of Stitching is Free ! A few embroidery stitches on the surface of fabric brings the art work to life. Simple stitches like French knots, running stitch, and seed stitch add pattern, texture, and detail to the surface of textiles. Stitching invites the view closer to the art. A versatile thread for your hand stitching needs is our 6 stranded hand-dyed cotton available in 57 colorways. Use all 6 strands at once or separate for hand embroidery, cross-stitch, or other needlearts. To receive your free skein of our hand-dyed 6 stranded cotton (our choice of color), place an order through the Artfabrik web site during the month of June. Celebrate the Joy of Stitching!

Fuse and Tell Journal Quilts	IT'S HERE!!!! My new book, Fuse and Tell: Journal Quilts, is now available! I'm so pleased with my new book from C&T Publishing. It is a beautifully designed text full of colorful illustrations and step-by-step photos of 6 art quilt projects. These are quick little quilts that go from inspiration to finish in no time at all. It's a great way to learn how to create your own story in cloth. Chapters include basic fusing information, how to machine quilt a fused art quilt, and 3 new methods of finishing the fast2fuse quilt (no binding, no rod pocket, and curvy edges!) I also cover new techniques like bias fusing, cheesecloth fusing, and fused trapunto. It's a fun book! Order your autographed copy here.

It's like taking a class from me without the schlepping! There is also a studio tour, a gallery of art quilts, and a segment covering the Rules of Etiquette from the famous Chicago School of Fusing. You can even join me in singing the CSOF fight song. Press On! See a short preview here.
