There are some quiltmakers that knock my socks off with everything they do. Yoko Saito is one of them. She is a master Japanese quilter and if you love Japanese quilts I am sure you have seen her work, all written in Japanese until now. I'm super excited to have publisher Priscilla Knoble with me to talk about the books she is printing, in English, with Yoko.

Nancy Mahoney is an amazing quilt designer, fabric designer, instructor and editor for Martingale books! She has been on the show before and you all LOVED her information packed segment. I asked Nancy to come back once a month this year so we can dig deep into topics to really do some detailed learning.
