Quilting Friends,
I don’t know about you, but I receive a lot of email
newsletters. Seems like most
newsletters make you wade through lots of ads and housekeeping info to get to a
paragraph or two of good stuff. That is
one of many reasons I don’t take advertisements. I want to deliver to you ONLY the good stuff!! Hope you enjoy the latest:
I just discovered a jewel of a website. Shelly Zegart is a collector and seller of
antique quilts. The quilts on this site
are exquisite:
http://www.shellyquilts.com/
Here’s a hoot of a website (ever wonder what to do with
those few THOUsand AOL CD’s that show up in everything from your Sunday
newspaper to a box from your latest catalog order?):
For those of you who just sent a child off to college, I
really like this idea: “pillowcase of the month”. You could find fabric to match just about every occasion (Christmas,
St. Patrick’s day, July 4th, etc) and at least you’d know they were
changing their pillowcase monthly!
---------------------------------------------
ADVERTISE YOUR QUILT SHOW
Here is a list of websites that offer lists of quilt
shows. I would suggest your posting
your own guild’s quilt show on these websites ASAP….it’s great FREE
publicity! (Please let me know if you
know of other sites…MJ)

Oak Room, Marks St. Senior Complex, Orlando
This class will appeal to the fabric lover in all of us! Do you have fabrics you've bought, can’t cut
and don’t know what to do with them?
Well, now you’ll be able to create original pieces using these fabrics. The fabric dictates the design, which can
include beautiful hand-painted fabrics that are "too pretty to
cut." Inked verses of poetry,
wired-ribbon flowers and dimensional fabric blooms can personalize and enhance
your original creation. our creation will be a one-of-a-kind beauty. See Faye's book by the same name.
For registration information, contact Kathy Foster,
rfoster5@ix.netcom.com or
407-578-1648 before 9 PM.
