There is a Season… Turn, Turn, Turn Your Quilts

Spring, that most glorious season, has sprung! Birds are singing, flowers are blooming and quilts are getting packed away. Information on caring for your custom quilt is always available at www.whimziequiltz.com, but here are a few tips to get your spring cleaning started off right…
Check your quilts for any small tears that happened during winter use and repair that damage first. Next, wash your quilts using cold water and a mild detergent; dry them on a flat surface or tumble them on low heat in the dryer. Make sure they are completely dry before moving on! Then fold your quilts (it’s best to “turn, turn, turn” them a different way a couple of times each year to prevent creases) and place each inside a pillowcase or cloth bag. Now they’re ready to store in your linen closet until the cold weather returns!
More Inspiration…
Avoid creases entirely by storing your quilts one on top of another on a guest bed. In addition to being best for the quilts, you can rotate them and enjoy the beauty of your custom quilts all spring and summer, too.

WQ and You Charity Giving
Because of caring Whimzie Quiltz customers like you, we are already $200 towards our goal of donating $500 to charity:water, a non-profit funding freshwater projects in developing nations, in 2009.
Remember, my husband and I are contributing $20 for every free quilt design requested and $20 for every custom quilt ordered, as long as the design or the quilt includes BLUE fabrics. It costs you nothing, but each $20 donation based on your request will provide one person clean, safe drinking water for 20 years.
