Guest - Designer and author Pat Wys might be the first person to really show me what 'southern hospitality' is. When I went to teach in Altanta Georgia, she and her group organzied a dinner party for us to show us what REAL southern cooking was! Pat is a exhuberent designer who also embraces the 'neutral' side of things. I'm so pleased to have Pat on today to share how she got started, what inspires her, and we are going to chat neutrals!

Guest - Author, teacher, International Quilt Association President, and fabulous 'behind the scenes woman' Stevii Graves is here today. Stevii and I have the opportunity to not only teach and work at many quilt shows, but we also both meet a lot of quilters across the country. One thing I've found is that some quilters don't have the opportunity to attend a quilt show, even a small one. We are going to chat about what a Quilt show is, why they are fun, and how to find and attend one! Plus Stevii has a few unusual tools that you might find useful as a quilter!
