I picked up a copy of the Quilt Sampler magazine at the grocery store last night. In the last issue of Quilt Sampler, my favorite quilt shop in Tucson, The Quilter's Market was highlighted. When I opened up the fall/winter edition and read about Yellow Bird Art I was fascinated. I am thinking on one of my future trips back to visit my family in northwest IA I am going to need to plan a trip over to the shop in Northeastern IA. I'm even more intrigued by Amy's journey to opening the shop. I'm currently in a job where I'm not using my creativity nearly enough (training director at a high tech company). Needless to say, your article inspired me!!
