The internet

is a fountain of information.  Pick a topic and pages and pages of what you are looking for will pop up within seconds.
I wanted to find different ways to fold fat quarters.  Benartex had something on Facebook and it sparked my interest.  I went looking.
Ever made a lollipop?

a Christmas tree?

One of the pages offers several ways to fold them, but I kept browsing to give you other websites where there is quilting info.
Are you looking for quilt shows where you are travelling this summer?  Check out the Quilters Connection page on their website.
Click on the province and see what pops up.  I'm so disappointed I won't be on PEI when their show is on.  Ah well, another year......I've said that before!!!!

I found this on youtube.  I don't know how, but it's interesting.

The weather has greatly improved in my neck of the woods, so this week-end, I'm taking all my cutting boards outside and giving them a good cleaning.  A little warm water, some mild soap and a while in the shade should do them all a world of good.

good luck tonight
