Quilting Friends,
I recently returned from two very relaxing weeks of vacation
with my family. I managed to hit 3
fabric stores (including Mary Jo’s), so I’m feeling “stocked up”. Tomorrow begins a 4 week quilting lesson
with four little neighborhood girls.
We’re going to make some Jewel Box quilts. Can’t wait! I’ll keep
you posted.
Found a couple of great websites:
http://www.quiltshops.com/
allows you to search for fabric from 99 different online quilt stores. I was able to find a particular fabric for
one of my students that was no longer available locally. Fabric is displayed with “thumbnail”
pictures. Very handy.
http://fabricblowout.com/
has some very interesting novelty prints that you may be needing for that I-Spy
or Bug Jar quilt.
