Every wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a fabric company? Recently Alex hopped into her car and went on a fieldtrip to P&B. For the next 12 days I will be sharing short video clips that explains what goes into designing fabric - all the way to getting it on your local Quilt Shop's shelves. I am sure after viewing these videos you will wonder how they manage to keep the prices down - that's right. Just wait and see!

To watch the complete video series (Part 1 - Part 12), go to the Daily Blog and look for P&B Part 2 dated August 1, and so on.  A new videos air every day between July 31 and August 11th.

Yesterday morning things kind of got out of control in my sewing room - I had three "blogging queens" show up on my door step with quilts in tow. I thought it was VERY serendipitous that one of the quilts was a Ruby McKim inspired quilt - how cool that an article was in yesterdays TQS Newsletter about Ruby! If you have not yet read it, take a moment to learn a bit about one of our quilting history greats - As for the blogging queens - I would have been totally remiss to not get out my video camera...................more to come! Guess who?

OK, we have heard from several of you asking questions about the "$10,000 Dream Sewing Room Makeover" we have featured in today's newsletter (July 28th, Vol. 3, No. 30).  THIS IS NOT A TQS CONTEST.  But it's quilting news, and we thought that some of you would like to hear about it.  Yes, it is open to US residents only in certain states.  So make sure that you read the contest rules for complete information.

Remember that TQS is a worldwide community and we strive to bring quilting news and information from all corners of the world to all members attention.
