Hi Quilters,
Phew, getting ready for the quilt show and looking so forward to it. I know it is going to be awesome because we have so many, hard working, creative, talented members that will ensure the show is a success. My Husband Glenn, came into my quilt room today and had the nerve to want to go to Longwood Gardens this afternoon. Totally spontaneous! "But I have the quilt show to worry about!" I cried. Is he crazy, I ask you? Has he taken leave of his senses? I could make some more pin cushions for the Acorn Shoppe (mine are awesome, you all are going to want one) But I took a breath and thought here is a good chance to take a break and literally smell the flowers. I wanted to share a beautiful picture I took with my phone of the tulips in full bloom.
Remember, while we are working so hard towards the goal of a fabulous quilt show, we need to have a good time doing it. It is fun. Quilting is fun and sharing our passion for quilting with others is fun.
See you at the show.

MYSTERY BOX - STEPHANIE BRASKEY
Mystery Box
There will not be any more Mystery Boxes this year. I hope everyone enjoyed the prizes and I hope someone will consider taking the job for next year when asked. It was easy and a lot of fun.
I have REALLY enjoyed doing the Mystery Box this year. As many of you know, I will soon be leaving to spend a year in Shanghai, China while my husband is working there. I will miss everyone at Penn Oaks and hope to be able to attend a meeting whenever we are home throughout the year. I'll keep in touch via e-mail and tell you all about my adventures when we get back.
In stitches,
Stephanie Braskey

Fabric Web Site
I was trying to find a fabric to complete a quilt top I made last year. Locally I could not find it at our favorite quilt shops. When I took my quilts to the professional quilter, she told me to go to Quiltshops.com. They ask for your name, info about the fabric, and your email address. What they do is search the quilt shops throughout the country and when they receive a positive reply(s) will email you immediately with the shops who have your fabric and the cost per yard. My fabric was found in Shiner, Texas and was mailed/received two days after I ordered.
