Thomas Knauer and Brenda from Pink Castle Fabrics

Today, the blog tour is making two stops: Thomas (Thomas Knauer Sews) and Brenda (Pink Castle Fabrics), both of whom write fantastic blogs and other amazingness.

I met Thomas over a year ago and we totally connected over - shocker - quilting. Thomas is not just an artist, he's a thoughtful, contemplative one who can engage in and inspire some pretty amazing conversations about what we create and why. Plus, he's a pretty fabulous fabric designer! His newest line, Frippery, is really great (and isn't the name great!??!)!

I have had less interaction with Brenda, but we got to hang out a bit at IQF in Cincinnati last year, and again at Quilt Market last month. Brenda is a truly fun gal, and I absolutely love her online shop (Pink Castle Fabrics). Seriously, go check it out, whether you're stash building or looking for something specific.

Great blog, great shop!

Stop by both of their blogs for really great info on Modern Designs for Classic Quilts, and be sure to follow them while you're there! A big thanks to Brenda and Thomas both for taking the time to participate in our blog tour!

Happy stitching!
