Color Designer Tool

Several months ago I sent out an email regarding color tools on the web. There are many to choose from,just Google "color design tool". Here is a site I find user-friendly. And don't forget Joen Wolfrom's "3 in 1 color tool" that most of us have packed with our supplies. I'm getting mine out after seeing how well they worked for Carroll Hirsch's color exercises.

Quilts for Japan

Comfort Quilts for Japan


Quilters Newsletter Magazine and the Japanese publisher of Patchwork Tsushin are collecting comfort quilts for those impacted by the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Those of us in the US can send quilts to Quilters Newsletter, which will them forward them to Japan for distribution by the folks at Patchwork Tsushin. Quilters who live outside of the US and want to contribute can email Dana Jones, the editor of QN, to receive instructions on how to send quilts directly to Patchwork Tsushin.

Here’s how you can be part of this important worldwide response:
