Quilting Gallery Newsletter – Issue #20 – February 2010
|
Welcome to the latest issue of the Quilting Gallery Newsletter. I hope you have been enjoying the Olympics; I’m addicted! Yesterday, I dropped off two charity quilts to Victoria’s Quilts Canada made with charms donated by quilters from around the world. It was difficult to say good-bye to these quilts as I love how they turned out. I’m sure they’ll bring a smile and warmth to someone in need.
I’m so excited to announce the new Quilter’s Forum. There’s quilter’s help, quilter’s chat, and a place to post your finished quilts too. I’ve also created forums specifically for promoting quilter’s give-aways, free quilting projects and tutorials and quilting shows and events. I hope you’ll join in the conversation, make new friends, help each other and be inspired. Register as a member to join in the discussions. Thanks to everyone that sent me 2" squares for my postage stamp quilt. My fabric collection is growing very nicely. It will definitely be a world-wide quilt.
Happy quilting! Michele (aka Mishka) Weekly Themed Quilt Contests
