I've also added a section for websites that feature free block of the month patterns.  We'd love to expand this list, so if you have more, just email me at tmskquilt @ mchsi.com  (remove the spaces). 

Link added in the right sidebar

If you look over to the right, you will see we've added some links to websites that you might enjoy visiting.

There are two groups - one is local quilt shops with websites.  If you know of a quilt shop within about an hour's drive, let us know so that we can add their website to the list.'

The second group are other quilt related websites.  Again, if you know of any that would be of interest to other guild members, let us know and we'll add it to the list!.

Correction to Teddy Bear Block Pattern

Brown Teddy Bear Embroidery instruction error.

It states in the instructions to "use a backstitch". It should read "use a stem stitch".

If you have already completed a block in backstitch, that is fine.

Just use the stem stitch on future blocks.

Thank You !
