Florida
Quilt Network - Newsletter #21
February 2, 2000
If your guild is ever interested in a well written Mystery Quilt series, I can highly
recommend the company we purchased ours from.
It was low cost ($2.50 per person) and we all enjoyed it very much. It
was well written and no errors were found.
The company is Schoolhouse Enterprises, the mysteries were written by
Merry May: (http://www.planetpatchwork.com/store/dept.asp?dept%5Fid=1800) It looks as if you can download ongoing
mysteries off the website:< http://www.planetpatchwork.com/mystery.htm>
If you attended the Orlando Quilt Show in January, you
probably saw a few of the resulting quilts from our guild's Mystery Quilt
Project. It was really interesting to
see how they compared and contrasted.
We did Case #104, so if you've seen the results at our show, you'll want
to do a different case.

VERY EXCITING….The next newsletter should bring news of my new website! Among other things, it will contain all the
back issues of the FQN newsletters.
Also, lots of cool links, pics of my quilt and family, recipes,
etc. Although I've been programming
computers for a loooong time, this is my first foray into web site creation.
