Kelley Koszegi asked:
“I was wondering if Annie might talk about quilt guilds on a podcast. I am confused about the different groups — what is the difference between AQS and the NQA? Does one favor say, art quilting over traditional? Can you be a member of both? Do they have very different historical and current goals? Do they have different membership advantages?”

Hi Everyone,

I know I’ve been quiet recently but I’m working on a podcast tonight that should be up by tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, I’ve updated my What’s New page with a quick update on things that are going on around here.

Happy Quilting!

Annie
