    I use Bella most of the time because it's what my favorite shop sells. But for white, I generally order Kona online, because I like the color better than any of Bella's whites.

    In general, no, but a vintage Bernina was left to me recently by a friend who passed away. That machine is named Jane, after her. My other machines are the Juki and the Brother.

    I am a huge fan of fat quarters. I love scrappy quilts, and will almost always use 20 blues, for instance, instead of a single fabric. So a big stash of fat quarters allows me to have that kind of...
