True story: one of our best friends’ mothers growing up was one of Canada’s leading quilters. She would travel around the world (though never into space) attending quilting conferences and the like. She used the family’s garage as her workshop, and had the largest Canadian flag in the world stored there in several boxes. Why are we telling you this? Because Jimmy McBride’s 13 Snugly Space Quilts reminded us of our only previous encounter with a pro quilter.
