Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #195

Quilting Friends,
Avid reader, Terry, sent me this website that was really fun to poke around in: http://theinboxjaunt.com/quilt/free-motion-quilting-tutorials/ . Lots of very do-able machine quilting designs, with step-by-step instructions. Yes, I know about the 365 Project, but these designs appeal to me even more. I can’t wait to put some of these FMQ designs into my next quilt.
To get a complete, organized, hotlinked listing of all the Florida upcoming shows, retreats, workshops, shop hops, exhibits, etc, please visit the Calendar.
Happy Quilting, Mary-Jeanine
PS: I love to hear from you, so drop me a line sometime!
