Do you suffer from Paraskevidekatriaphobia? If you do, than you know that it means you have an irrational fear of Friday the 13th. There are all kinds of scary superstitions associated with Friday the 13th (except China where 13 is a lucky number). Everything thing from cutting your hair on the 13th will cause a death in your family to starting a trip on a Friday will bring you bad luck.

It's said that if you change your bed on Friday the 13th, you will have bad dreams all night? As quilters, we find it hard to believe lying under any quilt could cause bad dreams.

Here are 13 quilts from TQS members which should only bring you Good Luck, Good Fortune, Blessings, Happiness and might just make you smile!

Breeze Through Your Foundation Piecing
Are you joining in on the fun with the 2012 BOM? Designer Sarah Vedeler recommends using Ricky Tims' Stable Stuff Poly to make your foundation piecing a breeze. This multi-purpose, polyester-based stabilizer becomes super soft when you wet or wash your quilt. (You won't even know the "stuff" is there!) The 8.5" x 11" sheets can also be used in a copy machine, or inkjet or laser printer. With 50 sheets to the pack, a single pack goes a long way. 

For this and other great quilting tools, visit Ricky's website here.
