WEBSITES:

​

Our reader Mary Dumelle suggested www.giftplum as a resource. The site might be best for beginning or traditional quilters, but advanced and art quilters will be tantalized by the free offerings.

​

Members of the Seattle, WA, Girl Scouts recently contacted Salli McQuaid after consulting her "Resources" page, among other such internet sites. Since they found "Quilting Resources Galore" to be a particularly useful site, they suggested that McQuaid add it to her "Resources" page, which she was only too happy to do: www.paradisefibers.com.


​It seems Seattle Girl Scouts have been hard at work earning their Quilting badges. We are honored to support the quilting work of the younger generation, and proud that the American tradition of creating quilts is part of their program. Thank you,GIRL SCOUTS of AMERICA. Incidentally, Salli McQuaid first learned to sew as an American Girl Scout.
