Quilting with Julie

Our local access (channel 99 METC) TV program Quilting with Julie began
airing in October 2009.  Each month's program includes a pattern for a quilt
block which can later be made into a quilt.  Patterns are posted monthly.
Previous months patterns are available at the shop.DVD's of each program are also
available at the shop or our online store. The pattern may take a minute or two to load.
