tracyWhat do you give the quilter who gives herself so generously,
who can take an idea, research the story, and write it in 15 minutes flat,
who comes up with some of the coolest projects,
who has great story ideas,
who can proof a PDF in 30 minutes flat?
Who is this amazing quilter?

Our very own Tracy Mooney,  Associate Editor, Kitten Wrangler, creative director behind We Sew2 and all-around sweetie has recently been promoted to Senior Editor for all her hard work on Generation Q Magazine.

We asked Tracy to share a bit about herself:
“I have been quilting on and off for about 23 years. Over the years I did tons of sewing projects with my kiddos. I met Jake online many years ago and we became online buds. When she and Melissa did the Kickstarter for GenQ, I quickly donated. I was looking for work at the time, and she invited me to come to Quilt Market to help in the booth and she suggested I take some time to network while there. I came, I met them, I came home hired. Within 24 hours in Houston, they offered me the job and we came up with the idea for We Sew 2. Jake and I had both been thinking about it for years–so it was a simpatico kind of thing.”

IMG_3160(If you’ve never heard of We Sew2, here’s the backstory: It features projects for kids, tested and made by kids. With staff input, Tracy develops the project, writes the pattern, and sends it out to the parents of the kids. The kids and their parents make the project and send photos back to Tracy for publication in Generation Q.)

Tracy goes on: “I initially was only supposed to write book reviews and design We Sew2 projects, but quickly began to pitch story ideas and write more and more for Gen Q.”

Sweet Tea Sangria

Fave Slosh: Sweet Tea Sangria. (Tracy wrote this one.)
Fave Quilt Block: Drunkards Path. (She’s always ahead of the curve.)

What’s coming down the road? Rumor has it Tracy and Teri are both up to no good.

Congrats from your fellow Q-bies,
Jake, Melissa, Scott, Bev, Jamie, Melissa K and Teri

Quilt. Sew. Live. Breathe.
