I have been receiving About.com:Quilting for years and I have enjoyed every one. I want to thank you for continuing the site and providing us with wonderful patterns, inspiration and techniques, new and old (I prefer proven). Speaking for many, I’m sure, we thank you and look forward to ‘issues’ to come.
