Pizza Boxes

Have you ever thought of using pizza boxes to hold you projects and blocks? When I taught school I used pizza boxes for mailboxes and the kids could write notes to each other and to me. Most pizza places would not mind giving you a few boxes as long as you fold them. If not I am sure that they don't cost as much as a plastic box. Anyone tried it....

Round Robin

I heard about a "Round Robin" quilt the other day. Sounded interesting. You start with a group of five people. You make your block and then send it to the next person on the list. They add a border to it and they send it on. After your block makes the rounds you get it back to finish it off. Of course there would have to be some rules that go along with it, like size, time limits, etc...
Is there any desire to organize a group?
Let me know...

Quilter's Travel Companion

11th Edition
Don't leave home without it!!!

For the first time I have advertised in the Quilter's Travel Companion. Let me tell you I am impressed. They did a wonderful job searching and find all of the quiltshops around. 640 pages worth of interesteing shops to visit along with a schedule of quilt shows to browse. Most of the shops also have a website that you can also search for different fabric types. There is something for everyone in this book. If you are planning a trip in the next two years make sure to have your copy of Quilter's Travel Companion along so that you don't miss any quilt shops along the way.  You can get a copy of this book at my website. http://www.alittlefabricstore.com/
Those of you who have used this book before please tell us what you think.
Quilter's Travel Companion also has a website that is packed full of useful information that will help you get the most out of any trip! http://www.quilterstravelcompanion.com/

Quilters - Did You Know????

Just wanted to let everyone know about two wonderful tools that are free !! !

 www.quiltshops.com. You can go to this site and type in the search box any type of fabric, theme, designer, manufacturer, number, etc... and it searches over 200 quiltshops inventory. It brings up little thumbnails pictures of the fabric and you can pick which shop you want order from.

or

fabsearch@aol.com You can send and e-mail describing your fabric in search of and night a digest is compiled and mailed out to hundreds or quilt shops that can reply back to you about if they have this in their inventory. Some of the shops on this list are not on the web so therefore might not show up on the other search. Please don't attach a picture to the e-mail, attachments are not sent.

Congratulation!!

To all of the Seniors graduating this year, HATS OFF TO YOU! I wish you the very best in your future. Dream Big

ReArranging

Well I have been doing some technical stuff to my website. When I started I thought that I knew a fair amount about computers and the Internet. Boy was I wrong!!!! I have learned so much about the Internet in the past year it is crazy. I would like you eyes and ears to help me find all of the mistakes on my website so that I can correct them.  My goal is to have an easily navigable website that people will be able to find what they need. Will You Help?
