Are you part of our Quilting Community?
Recently I asked you to fill out the Quilting Community Survey, so I can better understand your quilting and sewing needs. Over 100 of you completed the survey and I can’t thank you enough for your input. Whilst I put together the results of the survey, below are a few interesting snippets from the survey. Thanks so much for taking part.
