1 owe thanks to all my friends, colleagues, and students at Mary Washington College, who helped me in so many ways during my seven years there. Much of the research and writing for the book took place while I was teaching at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia. 1 already owe thanks to my new colleagues at ASU for making my transition as smooth as possible. I had a problem initially with making the quilt top.lots of 7/16" type of pieces.which I struggle with! And obviously made a mistake, because my blocks did not turn out properly and my points don't match up !! :(Īs this book about transitions was being published, I was beginning a transition of my own, Jordans for Cheap, starting a new job at Appalachian State University (ASU) in North Carolina. Judi has a very distinctive style, and it is very dense quilting and intricate patterns! At first I was a bit intimidated by the detailed patterns, but thought I would give it a try anyway.

What I liked about this book is that it included a pattern for a quilt and then detailed instruction for how to quilt it. The other deciding factor was that the classes were all demo classes, with no opportunity for practicing the skills yourself. I thought about going to take a class and Judi Madsen from Green Fairy Quilts is not only an amazing quilter, but was teaching classes in Edmonton this summer!! But when I looked at the cost of travel, hotels, classes etc, it was going to cost a lot! Not to mention that this summer was very busy with a family wedding and lots of house guests saying with us, so it would be hard to get away.


I tend to fall back on a my go-to pattern of echoed teardrops. I decided that I needed to work on developing my FMQ skills.
