Who can resist a child that wants to join in when you are quilting? Allison's daughter has been surrounded by fabric and quilting all her young life. It is only natural that she should want to start her own "project". Read the entire article in Stories. It is certain to make you smile. Maybe there is someone in your life that wants to spend time learning about your passion of quilting. Be a mentor and pass on the tradition.

"Fun in the Fall" by NancyAnn1959
All of you that have been working on our Fishing With Pop Pop project should at this point have all of the major segments ready. Now the fun begins. You can add personal touches to make the quilt all your own. "Fun in the Fall" has some great ideas that you may want to incorporate in your piece. If you look closely there are rabbits and trees that extend into the border. Let NancyAnn1959 be an inspiration for your masterpiece. And be sure to let us all see your quilt in the Quilt Gallery. Every day we are getting closer to our goal of 36,000 quilts. For Part #4 directions click here.

"Triangle Terpsichord" by SandiH
Has this ever happened to you? You buy a pattern for a quilt, begin working on it only to find that you are in way above your skill level? No amount of fussing and fidgeting with the quilt helps. The excitement has totally been ruined by the frustration of not getting all of the parts to fit together. Don't throw it out or use it to mop up that oil spill in the garage. Maybe it's time to set the quilt aside for a bit of a rest.
SandiH purchased this quilt pattern from Keepsake Quilting in 1993. A beginning quilter at the time, she soon found herself frustrated by the borders. They just would not fit. So she set the quilt aside. Nine years, and many quilts later, she was able to sew the borders on with no problem. Her skill level had improved greatly over the years.
Why don't you dig out a UFO from that black hole in your closet and see if the quilt that frustrated you in the past is now a piece of cake to complete. You just might be surprised how much you have learned. And be sure to post a photo of your completed work. You just might be the winner of a Ricky Tims' Rhapsodie Quilt. Click here for the details.

"On My Walk" by Kitkavitch
As the aspen leaves in Colorado begin to turn their glorious shades of gold we at TQS look back over a wonderful and busy summer. Many of us spent time in our gardens, hiking with dogs, traveling, or vacationing with family and friends. Time passes too quickly but we can capture snippets of these memories. Ricky loves to take photographs, Mary Fisher writes in her journal, and TQS member Kit created this quilt to remind her of morning walks with her dogs. How do you capture special moments in your life?
