Quilter's Review Sampler
May 10, 2004

Piecing It All Together

With this issue we mark the beginning of our fifth year of publishing Quilter's Review. It's been a busy and exciting four years for Charlie and me, and judging by the comments we receive from you, our wonderful readers, it's been worthwhile.

We'd especially like to thank those of you who have supported our efforts by shopping with our merchant partners like Amazon, Connecting Threads, and the others you'll find in our Quilter's Mini Mall. The small commissions we earn on your purchases help us keep going.

And a warm welcome to nearly 400 new readers this week who join us thanks to the Quilter's Mall Crawl. We look forward to getting to know you better.

This week in Quilter's Review I look at the Pfaff Creative 2144 sewing and embroidery machine, and Sophie reviews two quilting books including Trip To Ireland by Elizabeth Hamby Carlson.

I'll be back in your inbox on May 24th.

'Til then, quilt up a storm!

P.S. If you've got something you'd like to sell, a Quilter's Review classified ad is an easy, inexpensive way to get the word out to over 11,600 avid quilters -- our wonderful readers! Learn more here.

A couple of minutes and a couple of cents may save a trip to the sewing machine dealer for a repair on your machine.
