I don’t know if you noticed, but if you are a Mark Lipinski fan you have missed his mug and pug on the last few issues of Quilter’s Home Magazine. Back in September, he resigned as the editor. He promises that he will be having many new projects as well as signing on for several new episodes of Quilt Out Loud™.
Mark Lipinski was elected to the Board of Directors for The Alliance for American Quilts. The Alliance for American Quilts is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to document, preserve, and share our American quilt heritage by collecting the rich stories that historic and contemporary quilts, and their makers, tell about our nation’s diverse peoples and their communities.
