See How We Sew (seehowwesew.wordpress.com) is a collective blog hosted by four experienced craftswomen-Christie Batterman, Laura Nownes, Jennifer Rounds, and Darra Williamson-who share a passion for quilting and other fiber arts. Among them, they've:
• made hundreds of quilts, some of which have won awards at local, regional, and national shows
• written and edited best-selling quilting books and numerous magazine articles
• taught quilting across the US, abroad, and on quilt cruises
• judged quilt shows
• worked at a busy quilt shop
• designed patterns and run their own pattern companies
• headed the editorial department of a major quilt-book publisher.
But most of all, they love to sew and enjoy exploring new ideas through their twice-weekly blog
postings.
Christie, Laura, Jennifer, and Darra will bring a sizeable collection of their unique quilts (and more) to Quilting in the Garden this fall. Be sure to stop by and say "hello!"
