The Lost Quilt & The Power of Networking …

We received a message through the FabShop network about a quilt that was found.  Please read this article and feel free to pass on through your blogs and other groups.  Hopefully through the power of the internet, we can join this quilt and its owner.

=======================

On Sunday, June 21st, one of my neighbors found a quilt on the westbound  lane of Hwy 64 near Tarboro, NC.   She says the quilt was wrapped in one of those plastic blanket packages.  The quilt appears to be newly made, in wonderful condition.   She says it is hand and machine quilting.   There is no label attached and she cannot find a signature. She wants to return it  to its owner, as she is a needle worker, and says she would be sick if she lost one of her works.

Please pass this email around and if anyone knows anything, call Alison Boyette (252-813-1594) or email me at mom4matkat@gmail. com <http://us.mc317.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=mom4matkat%40gmail.com>

Okay fellow quilters – pass it on!

Peppermint Cottage

It doesn’t get much sweeter than this!  Peppermints, candy canes, gingerbread, and other holiday treats are all featured in this new collection by Diane Knott for Clothworks. 

Taking a step aside from a traditional quilt, Diane has designed an easy Hanging Card Holder.  What could be better!  A patchwork wallhanging that holds all your Christmas cards!  We’ve got it all kitted up and ready for a quick purchase.  Just click on the picture of the wallhanging.

 

Winter Joy

Nothing says ‘Winter” more than adorable snowmen.  Sue Zipkin has designed a new collection featuring whimsical snowmen celebrating the season.  Colorful snowflakes and tonal swirls highlight this group in colors of blue, aqua, plum, and green.

Snuggle up on those cold winter days with this comfy quilt!  Kits are available!

Not only did I find the fabric I was looking for to finish up a project, but I also found a quilt shop that I can rely on to provide wonderful projects and endearing customer service. I have now made several purchases from your shop, and I will continue to do so in the future. Thank you for your blog and contest.

Patterns by Bunnyhill or Fig Tree are always irresistable.
I love Darci's dresses . . . I am going to keep my fingers crossed!
