Guest: Tammy Tutterow
Topics: working with wool
She says: "A lot of wool applique is very primitive and dark colored, and I'm really into pastels and brighter colors. I love things very dimensional. A lot of times I use Heat N Bond on the back of my wool. Even if I don't plan to fuse it flat, I like it because it adds structure to it, so maybe I'll only sew it in the middle or add just a few detail stitches, but the more dimensional I can make things, the better."

Topics: quilting inspiration
She says: "Fabric just speaks to my heart, and that what I get inspired from. I used to be the kind who would buy every new fabric line that came out with all the good intentions of turning it into a quilt, but then I realized that that's just not going to happen. We can't make 40 new quilts every six months. Now I'm pretty good about knowing what I love and what I can do. So if I love it that much to buy it, I will make a quilt with it."

Topics: quilting inspiration
He says: "I love the results, but I'm also a process-driven person. And if it's not right the first time, we'll try it again...The one thing I love about sewing is that at the end of the day (even as expert as you may become), you'll never be truly an expert. There is always something else to learn, and there's some other avenue to explore."
