Welcome back quilt campers. Do you need a quick and easy gift for a toddler? You are sure to love this Make it Monday project that is a quilt AND a game. TQS member Margo designed this quilt that also can be used to play the always popular bean bag game. Large squares of age appropriate prints are the targets for the coordinating bean bags. Margo has even included a 'toe the line' tube to keep things fair. For the pattern visit our Projects page here.

It's not every day that you have the opportunity to see the incredibly detailed and finely embroidered Kantha quilts constructed by the women of Bengal using fabric remnants recycled from worn clothing. If you live in or will be visiting the Philadelphia area this spring or early summer, however, that opportunity will be right at your doorstep. An exhibition of these amazing textiles is on display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, now through July 25. To learn more, click here. Along with scraps of fabric, these industrious women used threads taken from worn- out saris to embroider pieced foundations with lavish scenes depicting animals, lush gardens, and various gods and goddesses. The art form was passed from mother to daughter, and transformed even everyday objects into beautiful works of art.

Over the life of this site we have found that many quilters are claiming their own computer in their own space - thus begging the question, if we were to visit you - where would we find your computer and would there be more than one?
