The administrative assistant and our daughters’ school has been exceptionally helpful to me and our family this school year. Therefore, I made her a small gift as a token of our appreciation.

I have projects for two more special teachers for our middle daughter to get ready but we’re in the home stretch of this school year – three and a half days for our daughters and five days for our son!
These are my top five notions for a novice quilter:
Quality Thread
Ruler
Scissors
Seam Ripper
Social media is a great place to meet and greet other quilters, quilt professionals and manufacturers or distributors of quilt-related merchandise. Where else can you have 2000 friends and only a couple dozen are family members? Where else can you get (mostly) positive feedback on something you’ve accomplished and want to show it off to the your quilt world?
It’s also a great place to pick quilter’s brains! Recently, I took an informal poll and asked my Facebook quilt friends: “What are the TOP FIVE quilt notions you would recommend for a beginning quilter?” The results were somewhat varied but what it really did was to make me put some thought into my own top five quilt notions that I would suggest to a beginning quilter.
