| Guess what this is?
I knew you'd ask! It's our newest pattern, called Jumping Jacks and in the next day or so will be available on our site. We will have a printed version and an electronic version! Jumping Jacks uses the Starmaker 5 Master Template to create the wedge border around the outside and the Jacks in the middle. Remember doing Jumping Jacks when you were younger? Our newest pattern will remind you of that game. Jumping Jacks is easy to make; just strip cut wedges with the Starmaker® 5 Master Template, sew the wedges together, then square the blocks. A circle finished with piping completes each block. The blocks are totally Pointless, but there are some easy seamline matchings when joining the blocks together. Be sure to send us pictures of your Jumping Jacks quilt. |

Lots of quilt shops have set up video watching areas or computers for their customers to watch quilting videos. If their computer is set up on the www.kayewoodTV.com video site, you can choose to watch shows from my Kaye's Quilting Friends TV show or several of my short "tip and technique" videos. There are also videos from other designers that you will probably enjoy.
You and the shop owners can also print out free "Tip" sheets from www.kayewood.com. They are great for in-shop demos or for you to teach a quick tip for your guild. The sheets can be printed out and given to your friends.
Please support your local quilt shop. Give them your input and help to make it your shop. We need them to help support our habit. And maybe you and I will meet by chance at your local quilt shop.

Reader's Tips and Show and Tell
This tip may be old news to most, but I'm a new quilter and just found out that you can use a toilet tissue roller, put a shoe lace or other type string- long enough to go around your neck and hang mid-way to your chest. Wrap your quilt binding around the roller- it isn't all over the floor anymore and it gently unrolls as you are ready to sew to your quilt... Sherry

At a rummage sale, in a paper sack marked “fabric scraps-25¢,” there were many small fabric pieces with these squares of vintage ladies quilting at the bottom. A few months later I had this black and white quilt done. It hangs in the place of honor in my sewing room....Arlayne
