Here's a quick update to let you know about the new fabric and classes added to the store since the beginning of the month, and to announce the winner of the Unfortunate Fat Quarter contest.

Also, a reminder that Kathleen Tracy, author of Prairie Children and Their Quilts, will be here in the store on Saturday, April 25th from 10:30 - Noon to sign her new book, Remembering Adelia.  The quilts and projects were inspired by the diary of a nineteen-year-old woman living in Northern Illinois just before the Civil War.

Remember that this month is double stamp month for all Martingale books!
