I belong to Cotton Patch Quilters of Kern in Bakersfield, CA. We had Pat Knoeckle (spelling?) (Eleanor's sister) speak at our meeting this month. She comes up here once a year from the So. California coast where they both live, and always shows us such great quilting tips and shortcuts. Plus she is so much fun to talk with, and very generous with her time and information when her formal talk is done. They are fun gals, and I really appreciate all the shortcuts they develop and share. I can't wait to see the new magazine. I know it will be fun and easy to follow.
