What's new at Quilters World for 2012?

Did you know that according to the Chinese zodiac 2012 is the year of the dragon? Traditionally the year of the dragon is considered lucky  with more goodies in store than the previous year.  We heard it's also a good year to improve oneself. 

More Goodies
Pauline has spent most of January so far designing and creating new quilts, so we know that at least here at Quilters World there are more goodies in the making. These new projects will be available to those who book a workshop or join our Academy. You can get a peek of a couple of the new designs here.

Improve Your Skills
In the spirit of the dragon we also decided to make it even easier for those quilters who have the desire to improve their quilt making to do so. In addition to Pauline's workshops, the Gadget Queen presentations and the Quilters World Academy we're introducing digital tutorials and demos. You'll be able to pick and choose  exactly what you want or need, and they're emailed straight to your inbox so you can begin learning new techniques and building skills whenever you choose.

The digital downloads are also a great way to see what you get in the Academy as all of the downloads are available there for a yearly membership. The online Academy has other great benefits too - you can ask questions, meet other quilters (we've over 300 members now), share photos and stories and save money on tools and notions in our online shop.   

There's Digital Patterns Too!  
Downloading patterns straight from the internet saves time and money. You get it right away at a reasonable price and no shipping & handling charge. We've added a selection of patterns to our site - some were created by us but you'll also find designs by Bustle & Sew, Clares Place and more. 

Check below for this week's offers (just click on the graphic to make a purchase) and don't forget to browse the selection online. You'll want to check back often as the selection grows.
