This beautiful quilt is by Barbara H. Cline who is also featured in Show 1906: Crazy for Crazy Quilts with Allie Aller.

That's right, you do the math, we have over 400 teachers and techniques right at your fingertips. That's less than 10¢ a technique. This is a great year to give membership a try.

Congratulations to Ron Frampton and Liz Keese, winners of Claire Saxby's children's book, "My Name is Lizzie Flynn."  TQS will be contacting you shortly to send you this wonderful book.

 
My Name is Lizzie Flynn, published in 2015, is a picture book about a convict girl traveling to Australia in 1841 and about the making of the Rajah quilt. The moving story and beautiful illustrations by Lizzy Newcomb bring this interesting story to life in a manner that is understandable for a young reader.
