I discovered Keepsake Quilting while we were living in
Yorkshire. There weren’t many quilt shops within driving distance, and KQ was willing
to ship to an APO. In March they held an online drawing: identify the
actor, movie and quilt pattern in their photo for a chance to win a “spring-themed
collection of goodies.” I recognized Johnny Depp from Sleepy Hollow and knew
the quilt he was hiding behind was called “Thousand Pyramids.” So I entered. No
one could have been more surprised than I was to find I’d won. A fortnight
later a huge package arrived. Inside were several pretty fat quarters, pairs of
scissors, a lovely thimble, some quilt books, and various quilter’s notions.
The nicest prize was a Steady Betty ironing pad; “a unique, high quality
pressing surface that holds fabric for a perfect press.” I’ve used it nearly
every day since it came. I don’t know how I’ve managed without one for so long.
