Rose, it is such a wonderful thing you are doing for the children in the orphanages. Thank you for the link! I remember some years back, I think it was Diane Sawyer that did a news piece on the orphanages in Romania, it was so sad to see the horrible conditions these children lived in.

As far as quilting goes, I know that quilt shop I went to the other day had classes and I think Joann's at one point (or might still) did as well. I need to check the next time I am in there. I know when I go to the back of the store, I always hear sewing machines going...

What tools do you have for quilting? Do you use a special quilting machine?
