QuiltFolk Cats

I'm a big fan of QuiltFolk magazine (No ads! Real people! Beautiful photography!), and am honored to have been asked to write a foreword for this special edition. 

With 124 pages of pure cattitude, this special edition features stories from quilters whose lives—and creative practices—are delightfully entangled with cats. You’ll meet artists inspired by their feline companions, quilters who love fostering kittens as much as they love sewing, and perhaps even a few internet-famous cats. It’s a celebration of quilts, creativity, and the irresistible cat charm woven into it all. With a foreword by Denyse Schmidt (or rather, by her feline studio companions, George and Eliot Schmidt), and reads more like a quilt exhibition in print—meaning it contains fewer words and features MORE quilts than a traditional issue of Quiltfolk, giving readers the opportunity to view a collection of carefully curated quilts that are sure to excite cat lovers everywhere.

Writers: Mel Burke, Courtney Mabeus-Brown and Denyse Schmidt

Photographers: Azuree Holloway, Breanna Briggs, Camille Roskelley, Hand and Arrow Photography and Martine Payne Photography
