Houston International Quilt Show Bus Trip sponsored by the Florida Cabin Fever Quilters Guild (Orlando)
October 31 thru November 4, 2012 (3 FULL DAYS at the show!!!)
We are planning a bus trip to Houston this coming Fall and would like to extend the invitation to other quilters in Florida! For pricing info, deadlines, hotel & bus information and some cool video clips of the last Houston show, visit our website to view or download our Houston Flyer and Houston Fact Sheet:
Patsy Thompson's four-part tutorial will help the beginner get started to free-motion quilting starts with clear instructions on how she prepares quilts by spray basting layers. Her clear, no nonsense instructions are encouraging and realistic.
CB (Allamanda) found exactly the fabric she needed to finish a project when she couldn't find the fabric locally. "After browsing through the online fabric offerings, I still couldn't find what I needed. They have a process where you can submit your fabric request, and the request goes out to all their member quilt shops across the country. The quilt shops then get back to you via email to let you know whether or not they have the fabric. I was very fortunate to find a shop in Minnesota who had some of what I needed, and she was willing to order the other fabrics for me even though I only needed a half yard of each! Amazing!"

RB (Allamanda) says "I got some real great help from this site and I am just a beginner in quilting."
Janet collaborated with her sister Donna to write Quick Little Quilts. She authored Easy-to-Make Dollhouse Quilts, a collection of foundation pieced minis, Teach Yourself Quilting, a reference for beginning to experienced quilters and The About.com Guide to Quilting. Janet was the freelance writer for numerous Rodale Press quilting books and she has contributed to many other books and patterns. She also teaches workshops on quilting and hand marbling on fabric.

This easy to understand 10-minute video takes the viewer through the steps involved in paper piecing. Great clip for beginners.
