This past weekend was Quilt Market for Spring/Summer 2013 in Portland. I’m so glad it was held in Portland this year because I live in Portland, and for as long as I’ve worked at Connecting Threads I’ve wanted to attend. So this year was perfect! And oh what a lot to see!! Quilt Market is strictly for people in the industry, but for me personally it was a tool for inspiration.
I look at my job as part ship captain, part circus ring leader, and part janitor. I am in charge of keeping everyone moving in the same direction, on schedule, and clean up any messes along the way.
Quilt designing and writing are a fundamental part of my responsibilities at Connecting Threads. It is without a doubt, the most delightful job. One can only wish to have a job like this! Interestingly enough, it’s a challenge to write this because it’s like telling someone how to play! You just do it! Right?
I have the best job ever! Some of the others here may tell you that they have the best job, but really I do. I spend my day dreaming of fabric, quilts, and sewing projects. And I get paid to do that!!! Could it get any better? Well, yes, actually it does.
Hi, I’m Ann. I feel blessed to have had my dream job at Connecting Threads (CT) for almost two years. Most of my role revolves around the development, editing, maintenance, and archiving of quilt patterns.
