Testimonials

Hi,

A few months I asked to use your apron pattern for a Quilt Guild sewing bee. And you kindly gave me permission and also sent us 3 flood damaged patterns. The women loved the pattern, and here is a photo of their aprons, minus the ties, as they weren't finished. Thanks again, and as only 3 showed up for the bee, they all got a pattern.

Karmon Conatser, Colville Piecemakers Quilt Guild.

Hello Katie,

I spoke with you last November. I had made your Bloomin'
Apron, and wrote to comment on it. I also attached a pic.
I really love it, and several of my friends have commented
favorably on it.

Thanks,

Free Sewing Pattern For Our Troops

Katie has recently put up this free sewing pattern to help our soldiers. It's a beanie that goes under their helmet for warmth. The idea came from hearing that her son in Iraq is cold. So, she made him one to help keep warm. It turns out that it was very popular, and the other soldiers were asking about them. So, she is making them and sending them to the soldiers. Thinking that others might want to do the same for their friends, relatives, sons and daughters, we posted the pattern. If you use it, we would love to hear about it. Just send us an email.

We have also been able to locate an address to send these to in the event you want to do a bunch, or don't know of a soldier yourself. Linda will take all you can send.
