|
More than 75 percent of quilters in the U.S. use the Internet to look for information and products related to quilting (The National Survey of Quilting in America, CK Media, 2006). Now, quilters can connect with each other online through the new, secure website ourquiltingspace.com. Registration is free, and quilters can post a personal profile, meet and chat with friends, buy and sell merchandise, share tips and techniques, and search for guilds. Guilds can post information about upcoming events and fundraisers. The site was founded by David Martelli of quilting notions manufacturer Martelli Enterprises. ourquiltingspace.com, martellinotions.com
