One of my daughter’s favorite magazines for ideas and updates is Cloth Paper Scissors.  The current issue (July?August 2007) contains more than 50 pages of mixed media techniques.  There’s also an article, “A Year Captured in Fabric,” about fabric collage journaling.

Patricia Bolton, editor of Quilting Arts Magazine and Cloth Paper Scissors, will be hosting a PBS quilting show, “Quilting Arts TV.”  The show will debut near the end of 2007.  Ttaping of the episodes soon will begin.
Those who read Quilting Arts Magazine and/or Cloth Paper Scissors are familiar with Patricia and the work she inspires in the quilting arts world. 
  Some of you also may be familiar with the recently published 1000 Artist Trading Cards book, edited by Patricia Bolton.  (My daughter, Beth Mastin, had one of her trading cards published in this book.)
