Well as per usual the links worked perfectly during the week but then today when I try to insert them it just doesn't cooperate. I did however, manage to get 2...count them 2! links to work further down in the newsletter. You will love my links.
I will be back to the IT people on Monday which is becoming a weekly date with them. In the meantime , you can just type in http://www.fabricshelf.ca.
OMG the link is now working to the website! This is enough to drive me half mad! Click on the link above in blue and see what happens. You should go to the website.
PS this is an actual picture of me on Saturday morning with the newsletter!

Cathy Wilcox brought her delightful little baby quilt in for us to longarm for her. The soft yellows, blues, greys and ivories are so pretty! Lately we are noticing a lot of interest in neutrals as well as the pastels. Definitely for babies the softer tones are very popular.
Longarmer on this one is Leslie Ford with the digital design Starlet with swirling stars all over for a whimsical look. the top thread is Glide Latte.
Thank you Cathy for sharing with everyone!

Mona Hall came in for a class on how to longarm her quilt. This is her very first quilt and wow! Did she ever do an amazing job of it! Everything is well balanced and her piecing is perfect! A bit of a keener I am thinking! LOL
Bill took her through all the options and she chose to use a digital design called Mozart with swirling instruments and Glide thread Apricot Blush for the top thread. Just a gorgeous quilt Mona!
Thank you Mona for sharing with us all!

Denise Slevin brought her amazing Halloween Spiderweb quilt in for us to longarm for her. The lovely twin size quilt is going to be a family favourite for sure!
Leslie Ford did the longarm quilting using the digital pattern called Spiderweb with Spiders. Is that not the most perfect quilt design to put on this quilt? Glide thread Black is the the top thread.
Thank you to Denise for sharing with everyone! Your quilt is amazing!
