Finding creativity in quilting with Joyce Becker

Join me as I chat with Judy Martin, veteran quilt designer, author, and publisher. She spent time as an editor and principal pattern designer for Quilter’s Newsletter, went on to found her own publishing company, Crosley-Griffith in 1987, and is still creating new designs. We talk about quilting (no surprise there!) and Judy’s approach to helping quilters make the very best quilts they can, not the most quilts they can. She has some great tips and tricks, so listen carefully! We also talk about her non-quilting life and even her and her husband’s quilting board game, Quilt Show. For those of you who want to play, you can find Quilt Show at Rio Grande Games, https://www.riograndegames.com/games/quilt-show/.
