Is someone else going to do your quilting?

If your primary activity as a quilter is to design and piece your quilt, but not do the actual quilting, several of our affiliate members have posted guidelines on the web.

Guidelines for having a top quilted, or an old quilt restored, from Madelin Wolf, and Quilt Preparation, from New Pieces. -- RH

More sad news: Kathy Sandbach has died.

From the C & T blog.  See http://www.ctpubblog.com/2009/08/25/kathy-sandbach-update/ and then http://www.ctpubblog.com/2012/06/14/remembering-kathy-sandbach/

Her son Ken posted on June 13, 2012: "...she passed last week here in Las Vegas. We’re planning a celebration next month on the 14th in Lodi CA and then we’re looking to scatter ashes in Bandon. No time set for that trip yet.

Thank you for your concern. You can feel free to pass along this info and can reach me at ksandbach@hotmail.com"
