Quilter's Review Sampler
January 5, 2004
Piecing It All Together
Welcome to a bright and shiny new year! I hope yours will be filled with more and better quilting -- I know I've made up my mind that mine will be!
But before 2003 fades into memory, I thought I'd pick the best products I reviewed in 2003. So here are my choices, complete with links to the original reviews.
Best Sewing Machine
Janome Memory Craft 6500 Professional
Best Cutter / Scissors
Elsa's Scissors
Best Ruler / Template
Alto's QuiltCut
Best Quilting Frame
Heartland Quilting Frame
Best Fabric
Karen Combs Texture Stripe
Best Quilting Software
Dear Jane
Best Notion / Accessory
Creative Feet
Take a quick trip down Memory Lane with these "Best Of 2003" reviews -- any one of these products could help you do more and better quilting in 2004!
And speaking of memories, if one of your goals for this year is to capture cherished memories in a quilt, don't miss Sophie's book review this week of Keepsake Signature Quilts. She also reviews Just Can't Cut It, a book that will help you do justice to those strikingly beautiful fabrics you've collected.
Finally, one of my goals for 2004 is to help more quilters discover the treasure chest of quilting information that Quilter's Review has become over the past four years. You can help me reach that goal by forwarding this newsletter to a few of your quilting pals right now. I'm sure they'll appreciate your thinking of them!
Best wishes for a wonderful, quilt-ful 2004, and I'll be back in your inbox on January 12th.
'Til then, quilt up a storm!
