When we launched the Quilting Arts Community last spring, we hoped to build a place where contemporary quilters, mixed-media fiber artists, and others could share information and inspiration in forums, through videos, and in our online galleries.

Brace yourselves! I think I'm about to set a world record in the Blogosphere for the number of photos in a single blog entry. I took nearly 250 shots at International Quilt Festival/Houston, but I cut the lot down to 49. (The ones I don’t post in this blog entry, I’ll put in the photo...

While I was at the International Quilt Festival/Houston last week, enjoying the climate-controlled environment of the George R. Brown Convention Center, it snowed back home in Massachusetts. Yep, snow in October. It didn't last, but while the fat flakes came down, there was enough accumulation in...

I always feel like the fall is such a busy but inspiring time of year. There’s so much to be done, and something about the cool air and crisp autumn colors gets the creative juices flowing. Lucky for me, Lyric Kinard was able to take some time out of her busy schedule to discuss her new book, Art...

Tell me, does a messy studio stress you out, or is it a sign of a creative mind at work? Can you create better with everything out in the open and available, or when you have everything unneccessary to the task at hand put away, with clean open spaces in front of you? I ask, because there's been...

When we feature artists' studios in S TUDIOS , we ask for a floor plan so readers can get a better idea of how the studio is laid out, the flow of work, etc. It's funny how many of these amazingly talented art quilters and mixed-media artists blanche at the thought of drawing a floor plan. Many...

Fabric designer Melissa Averinos, whose studio graces the cover of the Spring issue of Studios, doesn't have a lot of room to work in. Her 10.5- by 23-foot space is not only narrow, it has two windows and three doorways. So, where to put a a design wall? How about right on one of the doors? Melissa...
