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!

As always we continue adding to tutorials:

 

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!!
