editor's letter<br />

Good quilting is in the details, and there's no greater<br />

feeling of accomplishment when points match or seams<br />

lay flat when making a quilt! There's an extra bounce in my<br />

step when this happens! Accuracy takes a little practice,<br />

and the application of every nugget of information<br />

discovered through tutorials, lessons, and friendships<br />

make a world of difference. What an extraordinary age to<br />

be living in, with an incredible amount of information at our<br />

fingertips and delivered in less than a second!<br />

Last fall, I was struggling with my quarter square triangles<br />

on a baby quilt I was making with mom, which led to my<br />

request to quilter Elaine Theriault to share with <strong>QUILTsocial</strong><br />

the way to perfect quarter square triangles every time.<br />

Every tip, tutorial and project we learn from enhances<br />

our knowledge of quilting, giving us more freedom (and<br />

should I say power?) to make well-made quilts.<br />

I hope every issue of <strong>QUILTsocial</strong> quenches your thirst<br />

for knowlege about techniques, sewing tools and sewing<br />

machines. To be armed with these is to be able to do<br />

some serious good quilting.<br />

Cheerfully,<br />

follow me on<br />
