12 Gadget Guru I found something interesting. It is a Tube Quilting Tool. It is one tool with 4 quilt options. It comes with a 56 page booklet. I hope everyone is busily working on their quilts for the quilt show. Happy Quilting, Margo Quilt Show Memory Quilts We still do not have family contacts for Dory Bednarek or Dorothy Amos. Perhaps one of who knew one of them, might be willing to display a quilt in their honor and maybe share a memory. Since the quilt will be draped, there would be no need for a hanging sleeve nor would it count as one of the three items you can display in the show. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are willing to remember your friend. Ann Walls, hulet.walls@cox.net or (757)
