Link to Basket Pattern
I made a few baskets, and brought one to show. They're easy and gave me a chance to use some of my scraps! And best of all, the pattern was free online! Here a link to it: http://ayumills.blogspot.com/2008/05/tutorial-fabric-basket.html
Sharon Schamber
Val was telling us that Sharon Schamber, an amazing award winning quilter, has an informative website. While part of this site is for money, she does have some video and other things on there for free! Here's the link: http://sharonschambernetwork.com/

Toad in Puddle
Terry showed us a block she's working on... and got off the Internet herself! It's called "Toad in a Puddle" and here's what it looks like.
Val had a death in her sewing machine family
If anyone has a Juki they'd like to sell, Val Davis would be interested in buying it. You can email her at vgal@earthlink.net.
Baby Quilts Update
The church is having a Family Service on February 18th, which includes baptisms (for adults) and baby dedications. Debbie has enough quilts for this dedication, but this will leave her with no boy quilts, and 1 or 2 girl quilts. Thanks for being so faithful in making lovely quilts for the babies!
Well, that's about it... enough, I know! Have a lovely week!
