When we flip the calendar to February, it always seems like we've turned the corner on winter. However, the official ground hog saw his shadow, so we still have 6 more weeks of quilting!

In this newsletter we bring you a new Block of the Month, new items, new kits, lots of needleminders and of course, hearts! (And strawberries because they sort of look like hearts!)

To get you started, here's a link for adhesive hearts to stick to the back of your acrylic rulers and templates to keep them from slipping. Click here.
