| New quilts are now online in "Customer Quilts" |
| We love to see what our customers create, and we think you do, too. If you want to share a quilt (or 2 or 3) with us, bring it in and let us take a picture. Or, you can send us a digital picture. Either way, we'll load it onto the website in our "Customer Quilts" section, and you can share your quilts with everyone! Won't your friends be impressed when they "Google" your name, and your quilt is online??
