April says “Stretch your quilting muscles by trying new things, even when they look complicated. Try to figure out how a block is constructed, or how to resize a block before asking for help. It will make you a more confident quilter and keep your brain tack sharp!”

One thing I LOVE about April’s work is that she does interesting things. Her quilt designs have another layer in them that is interesting and makes you want to explore them.

Her newest fabric line from Moda is “Sweet Marion” designed about memories of her grandmother. On her Instagram page she shared stories like this one “In my Grandma Marion’s backyard were the most stunning flowerbeds and roses. She had a wall dividing her vegetable garden from her lawn which was covered with deep red climbing roses. Every so often she would ask us to go out and cut her a bouquet for her counter. To this day, the smell of roses puts me in her kitchen with the blue and white linoleum. Sweet Marion fabric ships February 2017”
