Welcome! We are multi-faceted. We began as a research podcast by Dr. Townsend Gard at Tulane University.
We've grown into a community about quilting, crafting, entrepreneurship and intellectual property.
-
We have books!
-
We are an authorized Grace Longarm dealer
-
We experiment in all kinds of fun.
-
We are undefinable.
Our research is based at Tulane University, and our products are sold through Quilting Army Krewe, LLC.

-
I'm in four quilt guilds (I know, it's crazy).
-
I'm a member of a maker space at the University of Nebraska with a longarm, industrial sewing machines and other cool textile tools.
-
I'm a member of the International Quilt Study Center and Museum at the University of Nebraska.
-
I teach youth quilting through 4-H.
-
I design quilts using Adobe Illustrator.
-
I've thought about publishing patterns and increasing my teaching to guilds, etc., but am undecided about entering a space that is already saturated, especially since I don't intend to make it a full-time gig.
