information and help have been incredible. As many before me have said...what a great group! I do, now, find myself in
need of some help, however. Is there anyone out there participating in the Quilt Pink day at Pennington Quilt Works in
Pennington, NJ? I've been participating in their block of the month and at last month's class picked up the instruction
sheet for the Quilt Pink squares they are planning for this Sat. Picked up my pack of fat quarters and headed home.
Can't make it to the shop that day but decided I could certainly manage to make a few blocks to be dropped off.
Well....the instructions for the Sister's Choice block seem to be off a bit. I went to my trusty local mentor and she
agreed with me that the instructions seemed a bit lacking. There's no finished block size, so I can't even work
backwards on how to make adjustments. The shop closes at 5PM most days. Since I work till 5PM that's not overly
helpful. Didn't know if anyone had run into the same problem and had managed to either figure out what the
descrepancies were or had been back to the shop for better instructions. By way of introduction, I am a self-taught new
quilter - about 5-6 years now. My first quilt was a double irish chain lap quilt for my grandmother. Next project was
a hand pieced tumbling block pattern for the then new niece to be. Since then there have been two queen sized quilts.
Generally I machine piece and hand quilt. Still working on the quilting on #2. Currently planning #3 but have to
finish a baby blanket and needlepoint christmas stocking for the new niece/nephew due any day. I have a DH and two QI's
of the canine (chocolate lab) variety. Oh, and dark chocolate is the best! Thank you all in advance. Sorry for the
length of the post but would be ever so grateful for any help that may be out there. Not like I'm not waiting until the

Hello All I am trying to find a pattern for beaded plastic canvas ornaments. The pattern was the twelve days of
christmas and, if I remember correctly, was in a large hardback book of other PC christmas patterns. It think the
author of that particular pattern might have been Carol Krob but I could be wrong. The beads specified were Mill Hill
and the ornaments were all beaded. If anyone remembers this and could send me in the right direction I would be very
grateful. Thanks in advance. Rachel
