Sunday Teaser

Q-bies,

We’ve been glued to our television, watching as the 9-11 memorial in New York was unveiled to family and friends of those who were lost, and listening to the remembrances. One sticks in our minds: Where someone–a family member name reader, perhaps–said she was living on joyfully in honor of her lost loved one, a reminder of the very best memorial.

In that spirit, we offer up another week of quilty/stitchy/crafty fun so we can continue to indulge in this activity that brings joy to us and others. Quilt forth!

Monday, September 12–SURVEY: Be a part of Generation Q’s first Modern Quilting/Sewing Survey. So many people in the greater quilting/stitching world want to know more about us. So let’s tell ’em, shall we?

Tuesday, September 13–NEEDLE GYPSY: We needleworkers travel, and rarely without a bit o’ cloth. S0 we’re unveiling a new occasional feature about traveling with–or t0–things stitchy. Today, it’s all about the latest TSA rules and regs. PLUS a fun embroidery pattern for your tote-along-sewing pleasure.

Wednesday, September 14–PLAYDATE (& A CHALLENGE): Thomas Knauer serves up a fun, scrappy pillow, Drunken Circles, to use those scraps that threaten to overtake your sewing room.

Space is limited, so log on and sign up!
