I’ve seen Angela Smiths lovely wooden pieces her company Purl & Loop creates and I was intrigued. We all have thread, we are quilters after all. And many of us love to do use what we have in some unique ways. Her jewelry and other pieces creative templates and very exciting to see in person. We’ll learn all about what we can do with them today.

I’m sure I could chat with my friend Bonnie Sullivan of All through the Night all day, but we are going to catch up on her newest projects. And I ask her how her designs have changed, or not, over the years. You will love making her creations in cotton, wool, or a combination of both. Some of her newest projects are really clever, you’ll hear about them all today!
