This message has arrived from Grace Errea, who has befriended patchwork quilters in Kenya in the past:
Hello dear friends and Happy New Year?, Valentine’s Day? Oh wait….St. Patrick’s day, whatever! Long time and many days have passed and I am happy to send this email to all of you to let you know a few exciting things!
1) My book, Impressionist Appliqué, is finished. Finally I can move over to another page in my life. Not quite on the market yet. It will be in mid-April. But I have copies for sale and my website has the ability to offer you the book with or without the Value Chart or the Gray Scale. Take a look: http://www.amazingquiltsbygrace.com/for-sale/. The book looks beautiful. I am happy with it and I believe that you will be, too.

2) Classes have begun. I did a 4-day wonderful class at Road to California in January. It was a real fun class. I will be teaching again at Quilters’ Paradise in Escondido starting April, May and early June. Maybe you would like to join me there! Check out my calendar for more dates and classes.
3) If you are interested in longer classes and want to get out of the winter cold weather, I have three classes in Scottsdale, Arizona in January 21-25, 2013. It would be nice to see you there and spend some quality art quilting time together. Check out the QID website: http://www.quiltcamp.com/
Please keep in touch and send me photos of your finished pieces. I would love to see them and enjoy them.
HAPPY QUILTING TO YOU! From my studio to yours!!!!!!!

Gill Rebelo shares some free online quilt magazines with us:
- Australia’s Down Under Quilts offers a free 6 month subscription. This is a very lively publication – full of excellent photos, great quilt ideas and designs and quilting news from around the world.
- Online Quilt Magazine has less photos but some interesting features especially on quilting designs and a good block of the month.
Thanks, Gill!
There is an article in today’s Business Daily Africa about the Kenya Quilt Guild, written by Mwikali Lati:
Find a very wide range of quilt magazines endowed with full colour diagrams that truly make a difference! These are magazines that are price friendly and you just can’t wait for them to arrive after you visit Digital Quilter’s World.
