This was such an exciting week! My visit to F&W Media, home of the top quilting magazines, was so inspiring!

When I was visiting my brother Jim who lives near Golden, CO, I asked my friends at F & W Media if I could stop by for a visit.

Lori Baker, Acquisitions Editor, was there to meet me at the door and give me a tour.

Here I am with the F & W Crew. F & W Media publishes our favorite quilting books and magazines, like Quilty, Quilting, Quiltmaker, Easy Quilts, Quilting Quickly, Quick Quilts, Quilting Arts, and Modern Patchwork.

We sat down and had a lovely discussion about paper piecing, designing patterns, life, and great places to eat!

Here’s one of F & W’s many publications. My “RIBBIT, RIBBIT” pattern is in the Spring 2019 issue of EASY QUILTS. That’s my froggie on the cover!

This cute little table topper measures 15″ x 15″, and is so fun to paper piece. A great pattern for beginners! Those wonky eyes are made from buttons.

A great vacation full of exploring new vistas, eating at fun restaurants, and meeting new friends. As Tom and I are heading home to Wisconsin, I want to send a big thank you to F & W for the warm welcome!

That sounds like a wonderful day! I really love your froggy quilt. They’re so cute! And the buttons for the eyes is just genius.
Thanks Bobbi. I love using buttons for animal eyes, if the project is not for a baby! It gives such personality, and is so much easier than paper piecing eyes.
Howdy! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone 4!
Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts!
Carry on the superb work!
Wow…..That is really something.
I just love your designs and received my order so quickly. Now you are on a cover!

Aaaaw, thank you Trisha!
What an adorable pattern. Clearly you had a wonderful time visiting F & W.
Love the fun frog blocks!
Too cute! And only 15″ x 15″ – they look so much bigger!
I enjoy the efforts you have put in this, thankyou for all the great articles.
