Dodi Lee Poulsen of Two Sisters at Squirrel Hollow and Little Londyn Designs
I grew up in Northern California with a close knit family. My love of fabric and the art of the needle came quite honestly and naturally to me. One of my favorite memories was sitting on my Grandmother’s lap as a child while I helped Nana push fabric through her treadle sewing machine. At the age of ten, with my mother’s gentle guidance, I created my first sewn garment. It didn’t take me long to realize the sewing machine and I |were destined to become lifelong partners.
I received a BFA degree in Interior Design and freelanced for many years in my own company, In the Beginning Creations. For me, quilting and sewing embraces emotion and they beautifully blend fabric with the heart of its creator. I started quilting over 40 years ago, while in college, when I needed a textile project. I taught myself to quilt and it has become my passion. In 2006, I launched my pattern company, Two Sisters at Squirrel Hollow and later added a children’s division, Little Londyn, which I run with my daughter, Megan Miles.
I love teaching the art of quilting and for nearly 30 years have shared this with students throughout the country. I have authored 5 books and have over 70 published patterns. My work has appeared in numerous magazines over the years and I have been a teacher with Quilt Camp at Sea since 2009. I feel immensely blessed to be a part of this industry and love every minute I get to spend creating. My hope is to inspire others to find their voice through creativity.
Today I happily design and create at home, in the state of Washington, with my sweet hubby. The beautiful Northwest provides an incredible backdrop for inspiration. My husband and I have raised a fabulous son and super-talented daughter. Together they have given us 8 grandchildren to spoil and adore.

BLOOM Sew Simple Shapesby Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet
This is a seam guide that temporarily adheres to the bed of any sewing machine. Made sturdy with see through plastic for easy placement. Lori designed her Seams Sew Easy for use as an accurate ¼” seam and especially for use when constructing her blocks which use the easy corner triangle method. This saves time by not having to mark lines on your fabric when sew-ing half square triangles, flying geese or snow balls too! The center circle of the guide is also marked with ½” grid lines for other sewing such as hemming or wider seam allowances. These grid lines also help to ensure correct placement when adhering to your sewing machine bed.
1. Needle-Align needle with center of dot.
2. Cut and Save-Cut plastic out by starting in the cut out circle and cut on dotted line. Save cut-out for future reference.
3. Stick-it-Place a stick-it on 4 of the petals and adhere to your sewing machine base. COMES IN 4 HAPPY COLORS!
Lori has created 24 fun shapes for an endless variety of designs using your appliqué method of choice; by hand, by machine or iron on.
Made of sturdy plastic. They have center marks and are see through for fussy cutting.
The BLOOM Sew Simple Shapes set will be used in her BLOOM Sew Along starting January 18, 2016. www.beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com www.rileyblakedesigns.com. Lori will be making the BLOOM quilt and sev-eral other projects along the way using these templates.

My quilt journey began about 11 years ago. Honestly, when I began, I knew nothing about quilting and very little about sewing.
Pattern Designer Spotlight - Kati Cupcake
About Amy Hamberlin of Kati Cupcake
My husband and I were living in Utah while he finished his graduate degree at BYU. We were expecting a baby girl. I remember walking into a quilt shop for the first time, like it was yesterday. I jumped from project to project. The colors and combinations were beautiful and fresh. It seems silly now to think about how random and unexpectedly this journey began. I left that quilt shop with a smile on my face, a project in hand and not a clue how to begin!
Months later, my husband graduated from school, and we decided to open a Quilt Shop in our little home town of Rigby, Idaho. That is when I really began to learn the core fundamentals of quilting and sewing.
It seems that one thing always leads to another, and Kati Cupcake is one of those things. I lost my Mother Kati to cancer four years before I took my first step into a quilt shop. We had always talked quilting and had plans to learn together, but time got away from us. I have often wondered if she had something to do with me stumbling into that quilt shop. I don’t know if she did or not, but I know that she would have loved being a part of Kati Cupcake.
I love my job and love what quilting and sewing has brought to my life
