The time is finally near for our POND PARTY; where we get together to show off the finished quilts from last year’s Frog Prince, block-of-the-month. It’s listed on the front page, and held at a West Salem Church, so we will have room to show and share and vote for our favorite. More fun and prizes, of course. Hope the date works for you. Just in case you wanted to know who won of the 108th Anniversary $108 gift certificate… it wasn’t you, it was Roberta Lippert! We’re so excited; we’ve designed a fold up over the shoulder tote bag that should be here by the time you read this. It sports a little quilt block on its pouch and then a bigger one when it’s opened for use. Great for quilter gifts and yourself too. Going green should be fun! We’d really love to see you in the Forest, but remember we have free shipping on most items if you can’t make it in. Keep on quilting….

The parking is hassle FREE at the Chemeketa Parkade — the entrance is just north of our shop on Commercial Street. You can drive through the alley and stop briefly to unload your machine from the back before parking, unless you have one of our rolling totes, then you’ll want to roll it great distances! There is an elevator on Commercial St. so park near it on the 2nd or 3rd level! 11 240 Commercial Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 We inspire creativity ED T C E THE SEL Visit our website: www.quiltedforest.com OF TS S E OP ONE BUILT SH ADA Q CAN ★ & S U ★ ★ ★ RETURN SERVICE REQUESTED PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID SALEM, OR Permit # 106 Spring/Summer Classes 2009 BOOK REVIEWS LOTS OF SCRAPS, Its Time to Quilt edited by Stauffer and Hatch at House of White Birches $19.95 It will take lots of scraps to make all these fabulous quilts, runners and wall hangings.
