If you are in the Tacoma Washington area this weekend, why not visit Innovations, the Machine Quilting Conference (Sept 16-19 at the Tacoma Convention Center). Innovations is the west coast conference for promoting machine quilting of all skill levels in all machine formats - domestic, short arm or long arm. There will be classes, quilt challenges and magnificant quilts to see. In the vendor mall, be sure to stop by the Pellon Legacy Batting booth..tell them you heard about them on TQS...where they will be introducing their brand new line of Bamboo Batting called Legacy Bamboo Blend.
Legacy Bamboo Blend is a 50% bamboo/50% cotton blend and is soft, soft, soft! It is easy on your skin, easy on the environment and easy to work with. You will love the results! It is so new that it is not available in all stores just yet. But...
Pellon is giving 3 of you lucky quilters a Queen-sized Roll of Legacy Bamboo Batting just for hearing about them on TQS!
Enter by sending an email to pellonlegacy@thequiltshow.com and put "Bamboo" in the subject line. Deadline to enter is Monday, September 21, 2009 at 11:59 pm Pacific time. (GMT Sept 22, 2009 06:59). This contest is open to all - including international quilters, so enter today!

This is not exactly presented in a timely fashion (Internet woes) but on the eve of coming to Boulder I got a box from our TQS shoppe - and WOW! Pati put together yet another winner of a quilt kit. It is a copy of my latest quilt for P&B Textiles with my new line Aways and Forever - Check it out. You can whip it out on your machine or stitch the butterflies by hand, the choice is yours, I whipped mine out by machine.

We recently received an encouraging letter. We love to see members stretching their quilting wings.
"Dear Ricky,
I entered this piece of work into the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.
I received a Highly Commended as it is free machined, straight zig zag satin stitched.
The whole thing, apart from construction, was made with the feed dogs down. Please thank Bob & Heather for their thread and needle advice. I used a lot of Superior threads in this.
I also used a lot of tips from you and Alex and the Guests.
Your show just gets better and better.
Love to all-- Pauline Barnes (grinly)"

We truly are blessed with the talent of our members from around the globe, and our goal is to showcase this amazing talent for the thousands of attendees at this popular West Coast venue.
