"When I go to a certain project, I am told that an e-mall has been sent. But no e-mails ever arrive. And yes, I checked my Spam and Trash files. I also receive Malware notices for Sugar Spun Quilts. Your website is too difficult. Unable to use."

"There are so many ads on this page that I can't download this ebook. Chrome keeps on waiting for the ads to show up on the page and then my download request, in the lower left corner of my Chrome window disappears and messages about waiting for ad windows keep popping up. Very disappointing!"

"The hourglass quilt block is a classic block that is so easy to make. Beginning with just two squares of fabric, you sew them together, cut them apart, and re-sew the pieces back together creating the traditional hourglass block. Find the complete step-by-step process complete with a video tutorial on my site. PLUS want to make them a different size? I've got a free printable chart for making multiple sized blocks from very small 2 inch blocks to large 12 inch blocks."
