Debbie Grifka of Esch House Quilts is a booth I never miss at the trade show. Her clean bold design lines are super attractive. I love how she adds in a playful element that always makes me really think about the layout and go 'wow'! Maybe a turned triangle, a part that isn't the same fabric as other parts... you can always find a little surprise in Debbie's work. Debbie is going to chat with me about her design process, I can't wait!

Ali Winston is a designer and author of a new book called Quilt Lab from Stash books. Ali's website is a²(w) (read as "a squared w") where she writes about quilting, shares patterns, and has a cool feature called Stash Match.. plus I'm dying to get to know her because her favorite color is yellow and so is mine!

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. (she also has a new book on circles)
