This time of year, it’s nice to make the most of those long winter nights with parties at home. For me, that means friends, good food and drink, and not wanting the fun times to stop!

I WAS SO EXCITED TO FLY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. I WOULD PEER OUT OF THE WINDOW AND SKETCH THE LANDSCAPE When Heidi Parkes won first place in the Handwork category for her Places Unfold quilt and second place in Improvisation for Night Flight no. 1 at QuiltCon 2016, she established her place in the modern quilting world. Her exquisite hand quilting skills along with her improv style combine to create very unique and thought-provoking pieces of art. She inspires me to take the time to slow stitch, and to integrate the world around me into my work. When did you learn to quilt?

But, as quilters, we happen to be in possession of a specific set of skills that can make a considerable impact on the world around us – we can make quilts. Quilts have the power to wrap someone up in love and show them that there’s still some good left in the world. While a quilt might not be able to directly change gun laws, stop terrorism, feed the hungry or cure cancer, a quilt can have a very positive impact on a life and you never know how that will ripple out into the universe.
