Tell her hello and thanks for being there for me for so long and through so much!
------------------------------------------------
When life turned crazy upside down for me and the fabric business took off like a rocket, I met so so many new friends. One of the people I have been honored to meet is Carl Henstch of 3 Dog Design Co. He is a talented quilter/pattern designer. You have probably seen his name in various quilting magazines.
A bit about Carl:
Carl's 'crafty' history begins at the age of 10 when he embroidered a quilt for his newborn niece (with a little help from mom!). As his niece grew, Carl designed and created a dress for her!
Next, thanks to an Aunt, Christmas time and the Air Force he discovered knitting. (How do those all go together? well get his book, read his bio and find out!)
Finally, Carl would watch Quilt in a Day on PBS. After seeing Eleanor's son on the show, he knew he could quilt too. Quilting is not just for ladies!
He dappled in it a bit until get this...He settled in Missouri and rediscovered his love for quilting...HA gotta love us Mo Folk!
(although Mr. Hentsch is quite from NORTHERN Mo and I am sure he says he is not kin to us Hillbilly folk, but come on..from Mo is from Mo, you know??!!)
Carl's newest publication is a book full of strip pieced designs:
And I have a copy for one of you.
Even better, it is author signed by the man himself!!
