Hi Quilters!
Is April flying by or what?? Before we know it summer will be here in full force. On days like this when it's blustery and blowy, summer doesn't seem so close, but remember, without these drizzly days, the bright spring skies don't seem quite so nice!

Quilting Question of the Week....
Q: I have to travel on a long trip and wonder what is the best way to pack my fabric and quilts to keep them safe?
K: The best rule of thumb is to let the fabric breathe. Don't pack tightly in plastic bags and such. If the fabric needs to be protected, put it inside pillowcases.
Q: How do you trim a baby quilt with satin?
K: If you use a wide satin ribbon, fold the ribbon in half, lengthwise, wrong sides together and press. Encase the edge of the quilt inside the folded satin and topstitch.
Tips and Humor From Kaye....
How Many UFOs Do You Have?
Some of you have a lot of UFOs (Un-Finished Objects); some have none; most of you have a few. Your personality type has a big influence on the way you approach your quilts.
If you have to finish one project before starting another, you have my sympathy. I like change, so I like to have several projects in the works; that way, I can work on whichever one talks to me that day.
I often hear "I will be so glad when this quilt is finished; then I never want to see it again."
News Alert!
Quilting is supposed to be fun and a stress reliever. My philosophical thought for the day: Some quilts do not deserve to be finished!
