As the holidays near I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for being our browsers and customers. Your encouragement and support has made our website and store what it is today. I look back over the last 6 years and I am amazed at how far we have come from our first 10 page website and mail-in form to over 300 pages of tutorials, reviews and our secure online ordering for close to 300 products.

By request from you, we here at Soft Expressions have spent most of the summer and fall increasing our product line to help you meet BOTH your quilting and computer quilting needs. Our goal has been to create an organized store that makes your shopping easier. Check us out and let us know what your think.

This fall there is great news on the computer quilting front with several new products, an upgrade, and some new lowered prices on old favorites and freeware. Check out our reviews for details!

Quilt-Pro has upgraded this fall to Quilt-Pro 4 for Windows.
Electric quilt has brought out a new EQ Magic book and design CD, Create Your Family Quilt by Barbara Brackman and the Stash Fall 2001 CD.
Back with a new lower price and a new review is Gliftic 3 for the innovative quilter.
New low price the children's CD, Patchville Went Splitsville.
Also go collect the new freeware addition to our website, Gordon Cooper's What Cooks.

As always we continue adding to tutorials:

Hints and Tips on creating borders in Quilt-Pro by Frank Smith, the consummate Quilt-Pro user
Tutorials for Electric Quilt by Gordon Cooper, whose eye for the obvious makes clear many of the basics needed to understanding Electric Quilt.
Gordon has also included a how to Index Fix for a glitch that can happen with YesUcan (the Info-EQ database program), KeepHere, KeepMany (both blank for what you want), and What Cooks (for recipes.)

UNTIL NEXT TIME

May all your time Computer Quilting be a Joy, filled with right brain escape, and result in that much sought after finished Fabric Quilt, if not at least a very nifty Virtual Quilt that you send to me to display in the VIRTUAL QUILT GALLERY!!
