Good thoughts, Mary. You’re right – you can find unusual fabrics online that your local stores may not carry. My DIL’s parents are deaf, and I made my first granddaughter a picture quilt and also an alphabet sampler with ASL lettering I literally stumbled across on an online store site I get emails from. Everyone loves her quilt! I just happened to key in ASL on the clearance section of the site and it popped up. I didn’t even know it existed, and I’ve never seen it since. Luckily I went back and ordered more – I now have a 2nd granddaughter who needs a quilt!

I have bought on line w/ personal help from the designer/manfacturer of a particular fabric that I needed. Now I keep a log book, the quilt name is followed by the stickers that the cash register prints out on the fabrics that I bought. What a great way to keep track of how much, what it is called, who makes it, etc. Enjoy your tips.

Mary,
I took the modern quilt Anni from your new magazine and turned it into a country quilt with different sized white daisies on blue backgrounds, rotated the blocks and made two more. It became a twin-sized quilt to give away. It was quick to sew! I like the magazine!

Hi Mary,
Would love to shop for fabrics online but am always concerned about the colors. Do you know which monitors, if any, are better at displaying fabric colors?

Madonna peering out from Mary’s chest was hilarious and a little distracting! haha

Don’t forget Quilt shops have the opportunity to sell their goods online, too. It’s a necessity these days to do so.
