Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!! Whether you are celebrating this holiday today or not, toss in your nickles worth - we need to know!
Be with us throughout the Thanksgiving Weekend. We will wave goodbye to the Houston Quilts. There is even a quilt by the wife of a very famous early American. There are several of these special quilts that date from the early 1800's.
Perhaps you remember this quilt in progress. I am so excited to have had a few days to QUILT (now that is a novel concept LOL). I am still deciding how to quilt it and can't wait to get on that. Amazing with a little quiet time what can be accomplished. Let us see what YOU are working on here - then please raise your hand if you have done so.
When we returned from Quilt Market we showed you in the Daily Blog a sneak peak from Alex's new line of fabrics, "Whisperings". It was originally set to be shipped to stores in February. But many of you wrote to us at TQS and said "WOW! I love these fabrics. Can't wait to get them" and "I wish your fabrics would be available in time to do the 2009 BOM".
We took your comments straight to P&B Textiles, and they heard your wishes! P&B will start shipping "Whisperings" in December. Now, not everyone who placed an order at Market will receive it right away. But hopefully enough will receive it so that you can add it to your BOM! So start looking and asking for "Whisperings" in December and January!
Be sure to click here to thank Julie at P&B Textiles, for not only getting you the fabric faster, but also for being a Site Sponsor of TQS. Thanks Julie!
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!)
