Have you ever felt "Information Overload" when it comes to quilting and the many resources available. Today Penny Domikis from Cabin in the Woods in North Carolina joins us to share her lecture: "Information Overload: Navigating the endless tips, tricks, books, blogs, patterns and products of the quilting world". 

You can’t strike up a conversation with a quilter, read an article or blog or attend a class without learning a new tip or trick to make your quilting life easy. You can’t pop into a quilt shop or attend a quilt show without seeing another product or demo that can “revolutionize” your quilting. If you’ve been quilting for some time you are probably tripping over books, patterns and templates that you hardly use and missing out on some of the products that will make your life easier. If you are new to the quilting world what exactly do you really need to buy? Everyone is a designer, blogger and lecturer. How do I know who to listen to?

As Penny has taught over the years, she has been asked her opinion on lots of sewing topics including the best tips for getting the job done, little tricks that make life easier and your quilts just a little bit better, the best books for beginners and beyond, blogs that are useful for design, tips and techniques, the best pattern designers and some of the best (and worst) of the products on the market. Penny has made a living designing quilts and other projects around other quilters scraps, rulers, and products and has made a hobby out of learning from as many quilters and sources as she can. In this presentation she will share some of her favourite dos and don’ts from her quilting journey Penny shares that she will take us on a humorous journey navigating all the quilting world has to offer
