Get Carried Away Challenge

When we launched the irons carry bags, we knew they would be popular, but we had no idea how popular they would be!

Not only are they a great way to store and carry your Oliso iron, but it also turns out they're a great way of showing your creative talents. Several of our friends brought their bags to QuiltCon to share with us, and they were so clever we decided to share them with everyone on Instagram at #GetCarriedAwayWithOliso and Oliso.com.

As an added incentive for you to start creating, from now through April 30th, we'll send a weekly prize to the most creatively decorated bag shared on Instagram or our website, with a grand prize for the best bag overall.

Angela Walters the Midnight Quilter

I love all things related to quilting!

I started my quilting career over 15 years ago with my husband’s grandpa. He patiently taught me the art of quilting by helping me make my first quilt, a 9 patch quilt that is still on my bed today.

I can’t believe how much has changed since that first quilt! I am still a quilter, of course, but now I can add Author, Quilting Teacher, and Fabric Designer to my resume. I am still so amazed by that!

I have written several books, including “Free-Motion Quilting with Angela Walters”, “In the Studio with Angela Walters” and the “Free-motion Quilting Workbook”

If there is one thing that I love as much as quilting, it’s talking about quilting. I love to give lectures and teach quilting classes and my favorite thing is the Free Motion Challenge Quilt Along. And, since I don’t think I am quite busy enough, I also design fabric.

I have also quilted for several books, magazines and publications, and I feel that I am so fortunate to have the best customers!

But, no matter what accomplishments I list on my bio, it pales in comparison to the titles I hold in my personal life: Mother to three adorable children, Wife to my awesome husband for over 20 years, and confirmed coffee addict. And of course, Grandpa’s Girl.
