A Brief Hiatus
Hi folks - I’m going to take a few days to visit my globe-trotting daughter, so updates between now and the beginning of the week are going to be put on hold. Just keep your eye on the calendar so that you don’t miss any upcoming quilt events.
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you […]
Another Record for Fiber Arts for a Cause!
Oh, I’m so proud! I went to visit Virginia’s “Fiber Art for a Cause” Reverse Auction site this past Thursday to see how her fund raising for the American Cancer Society was going, and I couldn’t believe my eyes…the piece shown here, by Lynn Krawczyk, was still available! I emailed Virginia immediately (at about 2am) […]

Some will make you smile, you might learn from others, and some are just plain ‘ol marketing tools. But, it’s the latter category that caught my interest this time. Nine Patch […]
Tomorrow is Quilting Day!
Remember that the 17th of this month is National Quilting Day. So when you wake up tomorrow morning, pick up a paper and look for a quilting event in your area. I’ll betcha you’ll find one. Go and visit - don’t be scared if you’re not a quilter. Quilters do not bite. Nor do they […]
Leukaemia Quilts
Oh, wandering through the Web is such a fun thing to do (as long as I have plenty of spyware protection, etc.). It was in this wandering tonight that I ran across the Quilts 4 Leukaemia site that originates out of France.
Purl Soho
I stumbled upon the Purl Soho site tonight, and I was astounded with yet another source of fabrics for quilting and fabric arts.
When you go to the site, just click on the ‘fabric’ link at top right. Then you can spend the rest of the evening looking through fabrics by company, style, or designer. Some […]
