Cabin Fever - How is everyone dealing with all this snow? Going stir crazy? Why not make something? You only need a small piece of muslin and some thread to make the free stitchery on the blog. Just click on ChristmasBall.pdf on the blog. I notice it takes a few minutes to download so don't be impatient. If that one doesn’t interest you check out http://capricornquilts.blogspot.com/
for their Quilters Blessings stitchery. These are really cute and you will want to go back once a month and get the next one. It is in another language but just click on the right were it says “Link to Pattern” and beneath that “December” and it will get you to the pattern.

SALE! - Don’t forget the big sale on New Year’s Day from 10 – 3. You will receive 20-50% off (or more). Join us for this pre-inventory sale and start off your quilting year with a big bang!
