Better Know A Crafter: Madison Ferguson

Madison recently visited us with not one, but two gorgeous knit things she's made from the Imperial Stock Ranch pencil roving and patterns. We love how lofty and warm this unspun yarn is, and Madison's Sumptious Cowl and Ribbon Scarf are such pretty ways to wrap yourself up in this cozy yarn! We can't believe how quickly she knit these up!

Madison Ferguson

1) Tell us about what you do.

I'm a neonatal pediatric specialist in respiratory therapy at the Children's Hospital. I love knitting because it's a great stress reliever.

2) Tell us about these two cozy projects.
I made a cowl and a scarf from the Imperial Stock Ranch pencil roving. The cowl is the Sumptious Cowl in Rich Soil and the scarf is the Ribbon Scarf in Pearl Grey.


3) How did you pick up your knitting skills?
When I was 5 years old my godmother taught me to knit. When I knit it always brings back memories with her.

4) What is your favorite animal?
My favorite animals are those cute monkeys at the zoo with the mustaches.

Thanks Madison! Happy knitting!

New Sewing Patterns by Sewn!

One of the awesome things about Quilt Market is discovering fun new companies. We ran into these adorable ladies, Elizabeth and Gina, two of the three young designers who make up Sewn, a new sewing pattern company based in Seattle.


Many of their patterns can be made multiple ways for totally different looks. We are in love with their modern garment patterns and can't wait to try them all!

Better Know A Crafter: Krystal Thomas

We are totally inspired by this amazing jacket that Krystal is sporting! The Amy Butler home dec dots she used are such a happy, bright way to update a classic-style coat. Krystal is always stitching up the most amazing things...

Krystal Thomas

1) Tell us about what you do.

I am a corporate soldier looking for something of substance to feed my soul. There is nothing more rewarding than finding a fabric that knocks your socks off and then creating something sensational.

2) Tell us about making this amazing-ness that you're wearing.
I made this wonderful coat from a McCall's pattern. I had been sitting on the fabric for a while just waiting for the right project. As fall came into sight I thought the colors would be the perfect way to keep lightness and color in my wardrobe.


3) How did you learn to sew?
I sewed in high school and then went astray from crafting. In 2006 I needed an outlet. It has been a great way to further bond with my mother who has sewn off and on. I continue to look for new techniques to help add finish and polish to my items.

4) What is your favorite animal?
Gorillas and giraffes.

Thanks Krystal! Happy sewing!
