This is a tiny portion of Flora's Feathers, a brilliant quilt made by Geni in memory of her mother.

Geni, who is one of our Group's followers, has two links to a Sharon Schamber quilt basting demonstration in her August 26th Post, just visit her blog and click on the links, a very interesting and different demonstration, Sharon Schamber recommends starching the backing of your quilt! and wait until you see what she does, watch the video, it really makes a lot of sense.
The second treat is a Free Free - no I'm not stuttering- it is a free down loadable PDF book on Free Motion Quilting, see, free free motion quilting.
Geni pointed the way to the freebie in her August 25th Post. Thank you so much Geni, I've already got my copy and it is full of great tips and patterns.
