I’ve written a series of articles for “On Track” the official magazine of the International Machine Quilters Association. The first, titled “Inspiration for Professional Machine Quilters” was published in the Fall 2008 issue and included my thoughts on how to stay motivated, creative and original. It also included some basic information about what makes a successful artistic composition. That was followed up by a series of three articles on ergonomics specifically for longarm quilters beginning in the Spring 2009 issue, Summer 2009, and Fall 2009. Copies of these magazines are available through the corporate office, 1-800-980-9505.
