Cotton Spice Quilting Magazine explores a niche in the quilting world called Contemporary Fresh. Every issue is packed with regular columns such as The Q Files, by Beth Brubaker - which tells the back story of the Quilt Police in a hilarious continuing column, and a quick project designed by The Diva Of Quilts - Laura Kong.

We regularly publish quilt fiction along with fresh new quilt designs complete with instructions and templates when needed.

Cotton Spice Quilting Magazine publishes 4 times a year - March, June, September and December and all issues are FREE online.

Our website is packed with activities such as a bulletin board, contests, and all back issues of Cotton Spice in PDF files. Our BOM Challenge continues to be a popular place and now we've launched the Breast Health Awareness Project.

There is always something going on here. It's just a matter of choosing what you want to do! We marketed our magazine to 'quilters looking for something else' and we've been providing it every time.

Karen is married to the love of her life, Mike, and they live in Missouri.

Tammy Harrison, Quilt Designing Computer Geek:

Tammy began quilting at the age of 19 - she was going to cosmetology college and met a classmate whose grandmother made quilts. When she saw one of those quilts, she asked her to make her one. Soon after she received the quilt, she read the saying, "When you sleep under a quilt, you sleep under a blanket of love."

That was all it took, Tammy *knew* she had to learn how to make quilts!  Tammy had to make something with love, that would be kept and used and loved back.  Tammy had to make something that she didn't have in her own orphaned life - a quilt hug made with love.

Since then, Tammy has made hundreds of quilts (mostly for kids, of course, who need a loving quilted hug, too)...but, Tammy also found a working life in the online world.  Once she mastered successfully working from home on the computer, she's decided it's high time she combined her love of working at home with her love of quilting -- hence, her four children call her the Quilt Designing Computer Geek!

Tammy is married to a true Texican, and together they have four children, and are two of a kind, working in a full house!
