The theme for this week’s quilt contest is Snowy Friends. This theme isn’t limited to just snowmen. If you entered last week’s Winter Landscapes contest, please don’t enter the same quilt this week.
I’m pleased to introduce you to a new sponsor this week, Valerie from Pastimes Online. She specializes in Block of the Month clubs that include all of the supplies needed to complete the block as well as a unique member’s only area with tutorials for each block.
Pastimes Online – Boutique for Quilters

Hi Everyone, I’m Valerie Moss from Pastimes Online a "boutique for quilters". A place where Quilters can shop in the comfort of their own home, in their pj’s if they like.
We believe that using the best quality of pins, needles, floss, scissors are key to any quilting project. Pastimes Online specializes in Block of the Month clubs by constructing a block each month to complete a stunning quilt.

Vintage Sewing Machines BOM
We include everything you need to get started by supplying all of the fabrics (in some cases Dupioni silks, and hand dyed wools), silk pins, sewing machine needles, embroidery needles and hand dyed floss and so much more. Plus, we offer step-by-step private blog postings each and every month for every block of the month we offer, even years passed.

Their name is Tessa, available on our web site, these are stay-sharp scissors and once you start collecting, look out, you’ll want them all.
