Talented Friends

I am so blessed to have many super talented friends, many of whom I met through the KCMQG.  What can I say?  We're stumbling over talented quilters here in the Midwest.  I've mentioned Angela, Lauren, Jacquie, Shea, Vicki, and more, but let me also say that my guild is brimming with a crazy number of amazing quilters whose work isn't shared on the internet.  So, join a guild if you can, people!

Today I am so excited to share big news from two of my talented friends.  Lauren of Aunt June fame has signed with Andover Fabrics to print her fabric lines!  I may have had a sneak peek or two, and let me tell you this stuff is incredible.  I can't wait to see it in stores.  This fabric will be the product of not only talent but sweat, tears, moneys and of course her unique sense of humor.
And I have been lucky enough to hear Angela teach on free motion quilting, but now anyone can take a class from her online at Craftsy!  Do you see the quilt she's working on in this picture?  That's right; it's the one I pieced for her a while back.  Check out her blog for a behind the scenes look at the video shoot.  Very cool.
I'm so proud to know these ladies, and I can tell you personally that they deserve every piece of success that is coming their way.
