Light a candle for Webguru Bob. He got food poisoning and is in bed for tonight. The newsletter will come out tomorrow morning or whenever Bob can stand totally upright.
Keep your eye out for the newsletter. We have a visual tribute to the male quilters in our community. (Pictures of quilts!)

(TQS Member KnottyQuilter's transformation changed lives)
Read a good story lately? We have over 70 stories right here in the TQS "Stories" section you can read without having to leave your house! Every quilter has a story. And there is always a story behind every quilt. Like this story we found from TQS Member KnottyQuilter called "Making a Difference". She and a group of quilters changed the lives of children and their families by transforming a room at a Children's Medical "home-away-from-home". "We walked away that day feeling blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference," she said. To read her story, click here.
We want to hear your story. To post yours, go to "Stories" in the purple bar and then choose "submit a story for consideration". Happy Reading!

Here is a closer look at the Quilts shown behind Liuxin Newman. Liuxin explains how she kept looking for better techniques so she could impress the judges at shows. She had to become more skillful. Be sure to watch the show and hear her story. Just click on Liuxin in the banner on the right border.

Heather Purcell of Superior Threads just sent me this picture of the BOM quilt for 2009. It is a great picture but still does not do justice to the original. So how is Sue going to cut this into 12 monthly pieces?
Be ready for a lot of learning and fun. Also, check the purple bar and click on Show and Tell and then click on "BOM Only". There you will see the BOMs for 2008 and 2009 set up. We have just set up this part of the site and people are starting to put up their pictures. Try out the sorting by selecting just one BOM month. Go over and take a look.

Starting Monday you can watch the incredible work of the "Thimblelady", Liuxin Newman. In 30 years of experience, Alex has never seen anything like it. Liuxin, from Australia, shows how to get extraordinary "perfection" in her detailed applique. Can you needle turn a circle the size of a ladybug? Liuxin can, and she shows you how.
Ricky shows how to do a sewn mitered binding corner that you too can achieve. This show will make your quilting step up a notch.
